"A thousand years of war between us will not be forgotten!"
Ronan the Accuser[src]

The Kree-Nova War was a thousand-year conflict between the Kree Empire and the Nova Empire.

History[]

A thousand years prior to the beginning of the Quest for the Orb, a war broke out between the Kree Empire and the Nova Empire. The war raged on for centuries with massive casualties on both sides. During the war, Ronan's father, grandfather, and great-grandfather were killed, leading to Ronan garnering a strong hatred for Xandarians and their culture.[2]

In the 1990s, the Kree realized that their separate war against the Skrulls was draining resources, so they considered ending the war against the Nova Empire. Wanting the upper hand in the peace, Starforce was tasked with going to the Nova-controlled planet Sy'gyl and receiving plans for a weapon the Nova Corps were designing from a Xandarian defector. Meanwhile, Rhomann Dey was sent to ensure that Starforce was successful by the minority element of the government who believed that both sides having the same weapons would encourage peace. Vers was tasked with leading the infiltration and entered the research base, where she came across the scientist Peer Kaal. Kaal gave Vers a data capsule containing the plans, but was then killed. Dey then helped Vers reunite with Starforce and leave with the plans.[3] However, the war continued.

In 2014, a peace agreement was reached. However, rioting broke out throughout the Kree Empire.[2]

Aftermath[]

"Ronan's located the Power Stone, I'm dispatching you to his ship."
"He won't like that."
"His alternative is death. Ronan's obsession clouds his judgement."
Thanos and Gamora[src]
Kree Protests

The protests on the Kree Empire after the peace agreement with the Nova Empire.

Outraged by the peace agreement, Ronan the Accuser began exterminating Xandarians throughout the galaxy. Nova-Prime Irani Rael called a Kree Ambassador asking for a testimonial from the Kree Empire condemning Ronan's murderous actions but the Ambassador ignored her.

Ronan made a pact with Thanos to retrieve the Orb in exchange for destroying Xandar. After Ronan achieved the Orb and discovered it contained one of the Infinity Stones, he betrayed Thanos and kept the Orb for himself, planning to use the Power Stone inside it in his quest to annihilate Xandar. Ronan attacked Xandar with his ship, the Dark Aster, and thousands of Necrocrafts. With the aid of the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Ravagers, the Nova Corps managed to win the battle and took custody of the Orb.[2]
