Strategy
Chapter 1 & 2
No particular strategy is needed. However, watch out for that low deploy limit. Use fast meatshields and strong anti-Alien Uber Rares. Catellite works great as a meatshield here, and Can Can and Chill Cat are great for attacking.
Chapter 3
Ironically enough, replacing Spacefish Jones with Mesocosmocyclone makes the stage arguably easier. Crowd-controllers like Corrupted Psychocat or Seafarer Cat are great for stalling Mesocosmocyclone, while Catellite still does well as a meatshield, though using Power Saw Cat can also help if Catellite is at a low level.

Strategy 1
Lineup: Manic Eraser Cat 30, Catellite 30, Cadaver BearCat 30, Chill Cat 30, Cat Chief 30
Notes:
Simply spam the available Cats, they'll absolutely destroy the enemies here, as the Starred Aliens are at a very low magnification.

Level 30
- Zamboney Cat can be replaced with Cat Egg Pod.
Lineup: Manic Eraser Cat 40, Catellite 30, Shigong Cat 40, Cadaver BearCat 40, Courier Cat 40, Zamboney Cat 40, Chill Cat 40, Cat Chief 40, Soap Cat 30
Cannon: Breakerblast
Notes:
- Zamboney Cat can be replaced with Cat Egg Pod.
Start by killing Zoge with Cadaver Bear before letting it get killed by Kroxo. Then use Chill Cat and a few meatshields to kill Star Peng. From there, it's just slowly working your way to the base with the low Cat Limit.
Upon hitting the base, lure the enemies all the way up to the Cat Base, then stop them with Zamboney. Use Courier to kill the initial Wild Doge, and then spam a few anti-Zombie Cats to get some hits in before Spacefish Jones and the other peons arrive. Once Spacefish is on the frontlines, no longer send out anti-Zombie Cats, only focus on Soap Cat and Courier Cat to deal damage. If an opportunity presents itself, sneak Cadaver Bear or Cat Chief in to attack Angaburu, but otherwise just slowly chip Angaburu down until he dies. Once it's only Spacefish Jones, use either Breakerblast or Chill Cat to break his barrier, then kill the fish as well.

Trivia
- In real life, a corona is an aura of plasma that surrounds the Sun and other stars.
- "Corona" is also a Latin word, translating to ‘garland, wreath, crown’.
- Corona is a reference to idol and model Yuko Ogura, who often jokingly claims to be one "Princess Apple-Momoka" (りんごももか姫) of the apple-shaped planet Korin. Case in point, Corona is quite literally an apple-shaped planet on the Cats of the Cosmos map, its Japanese name is Planet Koron, its Treasure is a pop idol, and its base is adorned with apples and a peach (the meaning of momo).
- In May 2010, a space probe called Akatsuki was launched from Japan towards Venus. A signature petition resulted in images of the Vocaloid Hatsune Miku being placed onboard the spacecraft. Since Venus happens to have coronae, this might be why the figure on the enemy base looks so much like Hatsune Miku.
