It is one of the largest wars in Pxls history, with over 200 total participants. Users and factions who had grievances with [[Neuro-sama's Swarm]] formed a coalition called the [[Neuro Expulsion Corps]] with the purpose of organizing a large-scale raid against the Swarm. The initial raid was led and organized by [[Zephyr]], with help from [[Liam]], [[Lana]], [[Peyrov]], [[Pebble]], and [[Caden88]]. Liam's recruitment efforts in particular were so extensive that the NEC received support from dozens of new or returning players.

The sheer size of the raiding force, unlike any seen in years, resulted in a noticeable spike in online player count and pixel cooldown.

The '''Battle of Charlie Zone''', also known as the '''Battle of the Hot Dog''', was the beginning of Swarm's retaliatory griefs against the raiders. The Swarm chose Charlie Zone as their first target, attacking at noon EST the day following the Battle of the Boat. The Swarm's raid template was to turn Charlie Zone's artwork grayscale and fiddle abused, with the words "I love Neuro-sama" superimposed over it. The NEC quickly came to Charlie Zone's defense.
