Background
In a desperate play to save the New Avatar Order, kulade made an alliance of opportunity with the Combine. This led to frequent skirmishes between the Eastern Union, Free Western Army, and later, Mr. Toyoda's forces. CivGeneral, in charge of a Coruscanti unit on Earth, came into direct conflict with a mercenary General Grievous. Despite the legal pretexts, war was not officially declared until the Combine launched a mass assault against Coruscant itself, possibly in order to divert attention from a flagging campaign on Earth.
War on Coruscant

As in the Earth campaign, the Combine achieved initial success, bringing most of Coruscant under their control, but were dogged by resistance across the planet. In February for reasons unknown, Stylesrj launched a counterattack against the invaders. Further pressure was added after the Battle of Fort Schmerzen rendered the Combine presence on Earth a non-issue. CivGeneral quickly rallied his remaining forces, and with a rejuvenated Coruscanti military, retook the planet.
Arrakis
Immediately following the liberation of Coruscant, CivGeneral and Co. set course for Arrakis to begin the search for the Gem. Headed by Dr. Breen, who had evaded capture, the Combine tracked CivGeneral's party and cornered them at an orbital space station. They ultimately escaped, but the Combine captured a smuggler to gain the coordinates of Dune.
Not soon after CivGeneral's company arrived, the Combine made planetfall and began an all-out assault on the planet. This quickly gained the attention of the Padishah Emperor, who began mobilizing the Sardaukar in response. In another alliance of opportunity, the Emperor permitted Coruscanti forces to land in force to repel their mutual enemy.
The war reached a pivotal moment when small strike forces from both sides confronted each other in the Gem chamber, bringing Dr. Breen and CivGeneral face-to-face. Breen's private guard was eradicated while the invasion force was crushed after the Sardaukar arrived. With the campaign a humiliating defeat and its forces reeling, the Combine was forced to sign a cease-fire agreement.
Aftermath
Dr. Breen was dismissed from his position as leader of the Combine and replaced by Nikita Brezhnev. Military aggression vis-à-vis the Republic of Coruscant was suspended; however, the Combine silently continues its campaign against Coruscant by proxy via the Greater German Space Reich.
