Great Solar War

The Great Solar War (11,874–11,917 NE) was a major conflict that spanned the entirety of the Milky War Galaxy, affecting virtually every major planet in the galaxy. The conflict was the largest of its type in Vespian history, depopulating entire regions of Vespian space and almost destroying the Vespian economy.

The war was a run-off of the much smaller Fourth Kordanian Conflict just three years prior, between the forces of the Unified Vespian Directorate and the Houseless, who sought to establish an independent state in the galactic north of the Outback Worlds. In an unprecedented move, six of the largest Houseless clans unified under the singular rule of n/a, who spearheaded the further unification of other desperate Houseless and pirate clans, as well as the successful persuasion of minor houses to the joining of their cause. In a weak attempt to stop the Houseless political effort, the Vespian government sent forces out to destroy the Houseless clan leadership, who anticipated the government reaction, leading to their escape and the rallying of more clans and minor houses to their side, leading to the start of the Great Solar War.

The war only came to an end when n/a was killed during the Battle of n/a, leading to the collapse of the Houseless leadership and the breakdown in cooperation on their side, weakening their forces and costing them the war effort. The Great Solar War witnessed the deaths of more than ten trillion Vespians, the depopulation of some two thousand colonies, the destruction of fifteen major houses and twenty-six minor houses, and the near collapse of the Vespian economy. The Directorate has yet to recover from the war, and piracy has exploded throughout its territories. The Vespian Defense Forces are in the process of reorganize its units, and has yet been able to properly respond to the numerous threats to federal authority and national security.
