He along Rhomann Dey examine the newest prisoners and their crimes, with Saal clearly expressing his disgust to them. After the process, Saal ordered the prisoners to be sent to the high safety prison of Kyln, and despite Dey's claim to them to be sent to a normal prison, as Kyln was overly violent, Saal asserted authority and said that regular prisons wouldn't hold them, while Kyln would.
He later reacts along with the rest of Nova Corps to Star-Lord's message about Ronan's attack and that they should let them help. Despite Saal's initial disbelief, and attempts to convince Nova Prime to not letting them enter the planet, Rhomann Dey changed most of Nova Prime's head about the Guardians, and she let them help.
