History

Origin

The Kree-Skrull War was a conflict that was waged by the Kree and Skrull civilizations. One account on the origins of the conflict was at a different time when the Skrulls were led by Emperor Dorrek and their civilization was more peaceful. They had formed an interstellar civilization with advanced technology where they believed no other race were their equals. Thus, they sought to elevate a race to their level by gifting a worthy species with their technology. Their travels led them to discover the planet Hala that was home to the blue-skinned warrior Kree and the peaceful plant-based Cotati. Representatives were chosen from both species to take part in a trial to judge which was more worthy of the Skrulls gifts. These participants were transported to the uninhabited planetoid that was Earth's Moon where they were given a year to develop a great work in the Blue Area of the Moon that would be judged. The Kree had constructed a great blue city that impressed the Skrulls but the Cotati won the trial after creating a thriving garden dominated by plants. However, the Kree refused to accept defeat and in the cover of night they attacked as well as killed the Cotati whilst the Skrulls slept. They then approached the Skrulls and attacked them with the peaceful green skinned aliens led by Dorrek were massacred. In the aftermath, the Kree pilfered the advanced technology of the Skrull craft that they took back to their home world. The Skrulls during this time were unaware of what had happened and only learnt of the betrayal when the Kree had created an armada that attacked the Skrull home world without warning. From that day onwards, the Kree and the Skrulls became bitter enemies with one another who had waged a long eternal war. (Avengers v1 #133) The war was waged between the two alien civilizations for control over the satellite galaxy NGC-205. In this engagement, an officer of the Intergalactic Kree Fleet by the name of Mar-Vell fought fiercely and valorously against the Skrulls. He became a war hero among the Kree Empire and his actions were noted even in the Skrull War Annals. (Captain Marvel v1 #2)

The renegade Ronan began his own initiative in the war by engaging in Plan Atavus. (Avengers v1 #90) This involved using devices to de-evolve the human race into more primitive beings allowing the Kree to control Earth but was stopped by the Avengers. (Avengers v1 #91)
