===Third Civil War===
<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Known to the K'Nes as the War of Expansion, the K'Nes Tor's first offensive agaisnt the [[Earth Federation]] was the First Battle of [[Midgar]].

<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Narrah and his armies were immediately sent into the Second Battle of Midgar.<span style=""> </span>The K'Nes Fleet seized the system, but not before the [[Tech Infantry Rebels|TI Rebels]] were able to land a legion of [[Tech Infantry|Technical Infantry]] under the command of Brigadier-General [[Alastar Dimiye]] (infamous for eating the raw hearts of K'Nes he killed in battle).<span style=""> </span>Facing veteran soldiers for the first time instead of [[Light Infantry]] or [[Colonial Marines]], the K'Nes invasion initially stalled, suffering two costly defeats.<span style=""> </span>In true K'Nes fashion, however, Narrah finally defeated the Tech Infantry through a combination of stealth, a vicious sneak attack, and negotiating a deal with one of Dimiye's political and personal enemies, Stacey Johannes (aka Maegwin Harrington, niece to [[Stephanie Harrington]]), to sabotage the TI defenses.<span style=""> </span>To this day, Narrah remains the only person to ever defeat Dimiye in battle. </span>
