The Battle of Nar Kreeta occurred in the aftermath of CivGeneral's mission to Zebes. Seeking to avenge their defeat, the Space Pirates launched an assault on the planet in the hope of catching and killing CivGeneral and Samus Aran.

The Hacker first revealed himself to CivGeneral during the battle, declaring vendetta against his surviving family.

Background

After the destruction of Mother Brain 2.0, the Space Pirates launched all-out offensives against the Coruscanti-held planets of Pandora and Nar Kreeta. CivGeneral managed to prevent an incursion into Pandora by rerouting the Space Pirate's fleet to Nar Kreeta, concentrating the assault.

Prelude

Marsha Conrad had been dispatched to Nar Kreeta by Major Kusanagi to destroy the Combine Portal Devices after numerous delays. Samus and CivGeneral arrived not long afterward and took hold of the problem themselves. Initially intending to destroy the device and kill the Advisors, CivGeneral reluctantly agreed to attempt a non-lethal alternative after suffering the pleas of one of the officers. The portal device was activated, but in a highly unstable state. Samus and Marsha carted the Advisors into the portal; the final Advisor was sent through only just before the device overloaded and self-destructed, thus not violating the "No Magic" rule. Yeah, that's the ticket!

Battle

Shortly after returning to the control room, the trio received word of the Space Pirate invasion. Making haste to the surface, they encountered the Hacker. A fraction of a second before she would have perished, Samus was abducted by the G-man for reasons unknown. Before the Hacker could indulge in more mischief, Knight Captain Coach arrived. While the Hacker hoped the assumed death of Samus would break CivGeneral's morale, only moments later CG rescued Jill Valentine from a box-smashing room in kulade's old prison complex.

After reaching the surface, CivGeneral learned that he'd been set up the bomb. He made Jill a full fledged Brotherhood of Steel Sentinel and the two fought off waves of Space Pirates as the ships prepared to flee the facility. Everyone managed to escape before the citadel collapsed on itself.

Space combat

CivGeneral and Co. fled into space only to enter a full-fledged battle between the Republic Navy and the Space Pirates. Stylesrj made a surprise arrival, bearing warning that the mysterious Commander Laes was planning an ambush. CG made a rendez-vous at Comet Observatory to hastily ready a defense.

Around the same time, Stylesjl's forces from Sidewinder Casino arrived to help in the battle, only to be wiped out by the Space Pirates in a failed "Leeroy Jenkins Rush." Reinforcements arrived later in the form of Yuki Nagato and her space fleet, offering fire support to those willing to respond.

While Laes was still in transit, he sent out a forward assault of several boarding craft and a powerful dreadnought called a "Balcora Key" to probe enemy defences and to soften them up for the main assault.

CivGeneral and Co. boarded the dreadnought in retaliation for the destruction of two ships and the loss of soldiers to boarders. Jill and CG planted a bomb in the reactor chamber, but caught by the guards they were faced with going down with the ship, lending the perfect opportunity for the now or never kiss. Luckily Coach came to the rescue, armed with the Colt Anaconda apply named the "Spirit of Bill".

During the confusion, the Hacker seized the opportunity to quietly exfiltrate the battlefield.

Round Two

The Dreadnought seemed to have been built to withstand reactor destruction as it survived the explosion relatively intact, except for the loss of most of the crew and a massive coolant leak. Stylesrj immediately went about to salvage it. He captured two prisoners onboard and was about to send them to the Observatory's brig when several hyperspace waves were detected suggesting an imminent attack by Laes. Using the dreadnought as bait, he planned to ambush Laes' forces with Yuki's fleet acting as fire support, while the Coruscanti fleet would flank the hyperspace wave.

Commander Laes' forces arrived soon afterwards, bringing a massive fleet to bear, including cloaked ships, torpedo frigates and a massive dreadnought with a big gun and built to withstand firepower from even the toughest of weapons. Things didn't go as planned when Yuki's forces bombarded the area, only to find that the cloaked ships had been phased out and thus suffered minimal damage. The enemy then opened fire and destroyed several capital ships in retaliation.

Laes' dreadnought blew up the decoy Comet Observatory in one shot, then locked CivGeneral's RNS Trident into a dangerous Beam of War while its pulse turrets tore apart ships from Yuki's fleet that were within range. The situation was getting dire. The RNS Trident freed itself from the Beam of War and made a hasty retreat to Kuat just before the final killing blow. The RNS Ohio came to take the Trident's place. A new plan needed to be formed...

Boarding action

Stylesjl decided to initiate a boarding action with his Casino crew. Using a single ship, he surprisingly wasn't shot down. But he was invited to dine with Laes. How Affably Evil...

Meanwhile, it turned out The Hacker wasn't exactly done with Nar Kreeta yet. Knowing that Stylesrj and his wife were there, he took a detour to the Comet Observatory to try and wipe out Rhiza, only to find out that she too was a hacker of his calibre and wouldn't be taken away as easily as Samus was.
