In 6709, Latis was attacked and transformed into an organic fortress by the Bacterians, but thanks to Lord British and Vic Viper, a spacecraft from Gradius, Latis was free again. In 6842, a huge creature named Life Force tried to eat Latis and Gradius, but Vic Viper and Lord British defeated the beast from the inside and Gradius and Latis were once again safe.
