Prior to the Battle, Alta Base had been cloaked to hide it from the Krell, in an attempt to build up a defense force against the aliens using the machinery that had been found beneath the base in Igneous Cavern. The Krell, however, discovered the base and sent a large force to attack and destroy the humans. On the day of the battle, Chaser took his daughter Spensa to the surface of Detritus for the first time. When the Krell were spotted, Chaser was called to arms and left Spensa to find her way back to Detritus. Several pilots, including Banks and Swing, believed that the humans should surrender instead of fight, however, they were convinced otherwise by Chaser and Ironsides.
 
During the Battle, Chaser flew through the debris field that surrounded the planet, leaving him vunerablevulnerable to Krell influence. When he returned, he believed his fellow pilots to be Krell ships and attacked them. On Ironsides's orders, Chaser wingmate, Mongrel, shot him down.{{book ref|sky1|39}}
 
Despite Chaser's actions, the DDF won the battle, chasing off the Krell and saving Alta Base. Following the battle they removed the cloaking from Alta Base and further fortified their position.
