The Liberation of Hanako's World was a conflict fought between the Star Army of Yamatai and post-war remnants of the Kuvexian Military. This event's occurences take place as part of roleplay in the Kaiyō subplot, The Crimson Levy.

During the Kuvexian War, the Yamatai Star Empire lost possession of its southern Ketsurui Military Sector when Kuvexian forces launched the Kuvexian Invasion of YE 41. Since then, the stellar region's solar systems have been under the control of various Kuvexian factions each with their own interests and ambitions for the planets whose Yamataian populations have been made to live under their yoke. One of those systems, Hanako's Star, home to a world bearing the same namesake, has been controlled by the Kuvexian general Tokeroh Bruchiiz since the Battle of Hanako's Star.

Following the Interstellar Kingdom's defeat at the Battle Of Glimmergold, Bruchiiz officially established the personal fiefdom promised to him by the slain King Kalapom III and asserted that Hanako's Star forthwith would exist as the independent Duchy of of Zzmyrneh — with him as its leader — from YE 43 onward. While Yamataians left behind on Hanako's World mounted some resistance to Kuvexian since the planet's capture in YE 41, the Star Army never embarked on a reconquest of the system. Some limited operations, including efforts by the YSS Resurgence, successfully retrieved¹⁾ handfuls of citizens left behind on Hanako's World.

In 45.4 General Bruchiiz began persecuting²⁾ Yamataians who had been until then been living in a grudging peace under his Kuvexian rule. The Duke's crackdowns occurred as a direct result of resistance operations³⁾ undertaken by Star Army Special Operations personnel failing to remain obscured from his military's detection. Bruchiiz used the revelation of active Star Army soldiers on the planet to claim any person who appeared to be of Yamataian or Nekovalkyrja descent was a terrorist to be arrested and removed.

Upon hearing news of the dictator's pogroms and demands, Chusa Ketsurui Aiko coordinated with her connections at SAINT to immediately take action and launch an intervention with the purpose of saving the Empire's citizens being held by General Bruchiiz on Hanako's World. Although Aiko was serving as a guest lecturer at the Star Army Academy, her formal assignment as Star Army First Officer of the YSS Kaiyō II — flagship of the expeditionary reaction force Task Force 282 — provided her with the necessary skills to arrange the operation.⁴⁾

The Kaiyō II, however, was undergoing refit and repairs in the aftermath of fights against the Mishhuvurthyar alongside Uesureyan Star Empire allies in a far-off sector to the galactic south of Yamatai. Aiko quickly orchestrated for her class of Academy midshipmen to serve as a crew for the YSS Asamoya, which would undergo a staged theft⁵⁾ to maintain operational security. The Asamoya's mission at the outset was limited to delivering Special Intelligence Fire Teams under the command of Taisa Nicholas Saiga for the purpose of extracting captured Star Army personnel and civilians.

Soon after the SAINT commandos were deployed, the Asamoya hid beneath the ocean on Hanako's World but was detected⁶⁾ by Kuvexian submersibles. A short undersea battle ensued between the Star Army cruiser and its foes. And though the Asamoya ultimately escaped, one of the Academy cadets was captured and kidnapped in the course of the fighting.⁷⁾
