Balamb Garden Revolt

The NORG-Cid Conflict takes place in the Balamb Garden between forces loyal to Headmaster Cid Kramer and forces loyal to NORG. The brief conflict, which stems from a disagreement on how to handle the Garden Missile Crisis, sees the ouster of NORG from the Garden.

Background
SeeD and Galbadian top military official Fury Caraway join forces to assassinate Sorceress Edea in Deling City. The attempt is unsuccessful, and the SeeD members involved in the plot are imprisoned in the D-District Prison. Irvine Kinneas, the only SeeD member to avoid capture, helps them escape on the orders of Caraway, and they make their way back to Balamb Garden.

As a response to the attempt, the Sorceress orders missile attacks on the Balamb and Trabia Gardens. SeeD fail to prevent the destruction of the latter, and rush to Balamb Garden to warn everyone to evacuate.

Seeking to save the Garden from the Sorceress' wrath, NORG wants to apologize to the Sorceress and frame the SeeD members involved in the plot as rogues. To prove his sincerity, he wants to hand over the members to the Sorceress. Cid, realizing SeeD is now facing the battle it was originally founded for, believes it should stand up for its original purpose and fight the Sorceress.

Conflict
Balamb Garden is divided into two factions, and the resulting war leaves it in complete chaos. Eventually the forces of Headmaster Cid would prevail, although him and NORG remain in disagreement. NORG, feeling a sense of ownership, attacks the SeeDs involved in the assassination attempt, planning to hand them over with or without support from the Garden. Upon defeat he closes himself away, finally ending the conflict.

Aftermath
The Garden avoids Edea's missile attack by restarting its ancient Centra machinery, morphing into a mobile form and narrowly escaping in time. The navigation systems lacking maintanance, the Garden flies astray until crashing into Fishermans Horizon.
