The Nathi War was a large-scale interstellar conflict between the Federated Sentient Planets and the Nathi, an aggressive space-faring species. Millions of people were killed in this war, and entire colonies were eliminated. The war culminated in the Battle of the Purple Sector in which the FSP fleet under Admiral Paul Benden managed to achieve victory, bringing the war to an end.

Many of the colonists on the Pern expedition were veterans of the Nathi War, and used their experience as fighter pilots to assist in the colony's defense against Thread.

Ross Benden recalled his uncle's service record. Admiral Benden's strategies in the Nathi War were discussed in Tactics at the FSP Fleet Academy, along with a documentary about Cygnus.
