The JLA attempt to negotiate peace between the Kylaq and the so-called Peacemakers, but meet resistance on both sides.

When the Peacemaker forces amass once more, the League decides to do something about both sides, defeating the armed forces both of the invaders and of Kanjar Ro, also broadcasting images of his actions across the planet, ensuring that he is ousted from his position, and forcing the Chairman of the Kylaq people to acknowledge the wishes of the populace.
