War Between Vaikan States

The War Between Vaikan States is a galactic war considered the most catastrophic in Vaikan history since the Perseus War. It involved primarily the Federal Monarchy of Allied Sovereign Nations and the Sovereign Confederate Planets, although some alien nations provided funding to one side for their own personal gain.

Background
The discovery of instructions for turning on Stone Rings led to numerous territorial disputes. Planets were now being colonized for their position relative to the Stone Rings.

The Sovereign Confederate Planets expressed its disapproval of numerous other nations encroaching within their territory - where the first active Stone Ring was discovered.

Gimheldt Incident
The Gimheldt system was a strategic location for its resources and proximity to Omni artifacts. The conflict was between the FMASN and the EIT, but hostile intentions turned towards the SCP, when the FMASN suspected the SCP of making secret negotiations with the EIT.

Assassination of Perlas Laisve
Despite the uneasy times, Kolin Laisve signed several treaties in an attempt to ease diplomatic relations with the FMASN. As a means of good gesture, a public masquerade was held in the central government buildings of Krar. An assassin, believed to have been an Internal Guardsman devised plans to assassinate Kolin Laisve.

The assassination did not go as planned, as Perlas Laisve, Kolin's wife, was killed instead when she suspected the assassin of his/her plans. Panic spread throughout the party leading to crowd control measures. The identity of the assassin was never discovered.

Firefight on Krar
The assassination created a negative image of the FMASN to the eyes of SCP commoners. Many had begun to riot, and gang violence increased. Internal Guardsmen were attacked on sight, while they retaliated with lethal force.

The disputes grew to nasty proportions as the SCP believed that the FMASN did not honor their new treaties. The FMASN stated that they were merely trying to maintain the security of the area.

War breaks out in Greenwater
After several days of rioting, military force from both sides arrived to neutralize the situation. It is not known who made the first move, but fire was soon exchanged between both sides, escalating to an all out war in the streets of Krar's Upperworld.
