Battle of Nova (Conflicted Hearts)

The Battle of Nova was the first sortie of the adolescent Le Creuset Team and Commander Le Creuset being represented by Ace pilot Isao Kofun on that battlefield, the Le Creuset team aided ZAFT Forces in the capturing of the Earth Alliance Resource Satellite "Nova" which was later repurposed and renamed into the ZAFT Space Fortress "Boaz".

The battle had been drawn out for almost a month until the Le Creuset Team arrived to enter combat with the Earth Alliance Forces, the additional firepower of the Vesalius and the efforts of Isao Kofun and the rising Ace Miguel Aiman marked a win for the ZAFT Forces, chasing off or destroying the OMNI defending Forces.

Aftermath
The PLANTs repurposed Nova into the Space Fortress "Boaz", to act as the first line of defense for the PLANTs against further OMNI invasions, Jachin Due was instead then taken to the PLANTs to be the last line of defense and a ZAFT Fleet Headquarters.

The Le Creuset Team would be drawn back to the PLANTs to take on new equipment and pilots including: Athrun Zala, Yzak Joule, Nicol Amalfi, Dearka Elsman. Their next mission would be the investigation of rumours of the Earth Alliance's own Mobile Suit Production Program.
