The 300 Year Conflict

The 300 Year Conflict, or 300YC for short, was a large scale war between the Ancient Dragoian species and the Androgian species. It was fought from late -38,208 to late -37,908.
==Overview==
What started as a random hostile border crossing started the Ancient Dragoian's first major interstellar war as well as being yet another war the Androgians would fight. Losses on both sides were heavy, with tens of thousands of ships destroyed and tens of millions of soldiers/crewmen dead by the end.
While an Androgian victory seemed assured due to their larger, more battle hardened fleet and larger and more dangerous foot soldiers, the Ancient Dragoians managed to defend their space and even perform a few offensives with their more powerful ships and foot soldiers who were trained to shoot at only vulnerable spots on an Androgian to ensure that even though their weapons were considerably smaller and weaker than that used by their opponents, they could still kill.
This war was also one of only a few times the Ancient Dragoian Dralkyria actually fought as more than just a ceremonial show of force. While few in numbers, the Dralkyria's powerful weapons made light work of standard Androgian infantry and made the Dralkyria a feared enemy of the Androgians, despite their comparatively tiny size.
The war ended after both sides realised that the war was one giant endless stalemate, with neither side actually making any lasting advances for 300 years. The terms for the peace treaty were simple, any ship who either entered enemy space without permission (so as to allow trade freighters), or used the enemy emergency frequency would belong to the enemy, and be dealt with as the captor saw fit. Despite these terms allowing trade freighters between the Ancient Dragoians and Androgians, few if any Ancient Dragoian or Androgian freighters would deal with the other species following the war.
==Reasons==
The 300YC started for unknown reasons when an Androgian scout vessel made a deliberate hostile action by attacking an Ancient Dragoian mining colony near the border to Androgian space. The reason for this attack was never given, as the Androgian vessel decided to breach it's own reactor core to do as much damage to the mine as possible before it could be destroyed by the rapidly incoming Ancient Dragoian forces so as not to reveal any information on what it was doing. The Androgians neither confirmed nor denied that they gave the vessel it's orders with individuals often contradicting each other, prompting an enraged Ancient Dragoian military to mobilise it's fleet against the Androgians in retaliation.

==== Declaration Of War: Location - Tralia Colony, Year - -38,208, Androgian Victory ====
The first shots of the war were fired when an Androgian scouting vessel appeared over the Ancient Dragoian colony in the Tralia system in early -38,208, orbiting for a few minutes while ignoring all hails, before entering atmosphere and opening fire on the largest mining settlement without warning prompting the colony to send a distress call to the Ancient Dragoian navy. Within a few hours, a small force from the Ancient Dragoian navy was almost at Tralia, with the Androgian scout vessel seeing them on sensors, it's crew chose to scuttle their ship by ramming it straight into the centre of the second largest settlement on the colony to maximise the already extensive damage they had caused, before forcibly overloading the ship's Soul Crystal reactor, taking almost the entire settlement with it and leaving a huge crater. Thankfully for the rest of Tralia Colony, the scout vessel's safety systems had prevented a cascade reaction within it's Soul Crystals that limited the explosion of the scout vessel's reactor to a relatively close proximity.
