- "Wrex was always the honorable one. It's part of why I liked him...he had a code. Wrex wasn't capable of betrayal...he wasn't that sort of animal. So when we agreed to meet on Uyora Station for a final conclusive battle, that he would fight to the death, I knew he meant it. We fought for an entire week...we knew each other's weaknesses and strengths, and we knew that we knew that we knew. That sums up all of our battles...precision gunfire and tactical movements that constantly pre-empted each other's moves before we knew to make them. I'll admit, I was fed up with it myself. At least when you fight your enemies, it's an even ground...their knowledge of you isn't intimate, just as theirs isn't of you. But when you fight friends...well, they know you very personally. Our feud became more of a dance than a fight. In the end, I knew Uyora Station would be more of the same. So I got out, swore to leave it alone, even despite breaking our agreement. Wrex never came after me. I should have left it there...but resentment is a tricky emotion, and when I saw he was with you, I couldn't help myself. In the end, I damned myself, heh? We finally found a way to kill each other: get others to do it for you. Uyora was supposed to be the end, but when it came down to it, you were that end. Who would have thought?"

The Battle on Uyora Station was the week-long penultimate battle that seemingly ended the Aleena-Wrex Feud that took place on Uyora Station in the Nubian Expanse from 13 - 20 November 1767 CE. The battle was a culmination of well over a month of pursuit, ambushes and betrayal across the Attican Traverse and Terminus Systems, with Urdnot Wrex and Aleena T'kajah's battle evolving from a simple matter of a contract to a need to conclude their elongated struggle. Despite their brief alliance on Capek against Blood Pack and Silver Phalanx mercenaries sent to kill them by Lasel Bellan, who had been the one to originally hire Wrex to kill Aleena in the first place, Aleena had become so disillusioned with their relationship that she had become paranoid that Wrex would continue their fight anyway. She followed Wrex to Maskawa, arriving just after the krogan had raided Bellan's residence, killed his Silver Phalanx security, and assassinated his volus client. She immediately ambushed him, causing their struggle to reignite. Wrex fled to Taitus, where he lured Aleena into a series of battles across the planet, using the local ecology to flush each other out. When both sides realized this would just be a repeat of what they had already done, they reached a settlement they believed would end the confrontation once and for all.
Wrex proposed the fight to the death, and Aleena chose the location. She chose Uyora Station, an abandoned salarian space station in the Nubian Expanse, and Wrex established the rules of engagement, dictating that they would fight until either one of them or both of them were dead. Within a day they arrived at the station, and their final battle began. The fighting lasted a whole week: they chased each other down corridors, laid booby traps for each other to run into, and attempted to weaponize different parts of the facility to their advantage. Aleena managed to injure Wrex on several occasions, but his regenerative abilities gave him an edge, allowing him to repair most damage, while Aleena had to deal with her own injuries in stride. Both of them used their biotics frequently, tearing the station apart. Wrex believed he had finally caught Aleena in the medical bay while she was healing her wounds, but he soon realized that Aleena had put the reactor's fusion plant into meltdown, and was forced to abandon his attack and abandon the station. He believed that Aleena had died in the explosion, but the next day received a message from her saying "Better luck next time." The two didn't cross paths again for 400 years, and so technically kept to their agreement. It was believed the battle ended the feud, until Aleena sprung another trap for Wrex in 2183 CE that briefly reignited the age old conflict, only to end in Aleena being permanently injured beyond ability to fight, forcing her to capitulate and go into hiding with a new identity, only to be finally killed by a drell assassin two years later.
