The Orthis War

Regarded as one of the largest wars seen. The Orthis War was the first major interstellar war fought between the rebelling local government of Orthis, secretly backed by the Socialist Progressive Peoples, against United Nations and Three Suns Empire, who mutually governed over this planet. The aim was to overthrow their administrative grasp on the massive colony, then provide control to the Socialist Progressive Peoples. The total casualties still remain unaccounted for to this day, but body estimates fall into the high millions and also thousands of naval vessels were lost, while trying to take control of space above and secure vital naval ports.

The first wave of reinforcements that was sent to put down the Orthis rebellion, resulted in the loss of over 300 000 soldiers in the first week due to poor coordination. This was due to the failure to disable planetary anti-warship batteries, and fighting against an enemy on their homeland and home space. As a result, Orthis forces were able to mobilize defenses across the colonies, turning what was anticipated to be a quick war into a long grueling conflict stretching over four long years.

The War eventually came to a close with the capital of both UN and TSE colonies' secured and colony government leaders subdued. However, the scars would remain, even to the modern day. Leading to major humanitarian issues, children of dead families caught in the conflict, and a still recovering economy. The Interstellar Life Rights Council is to this day still working on the recovery of the colonies of Orthis.
