Ro-War

The Ro-War, also known as Ro-War V in the clanning community due to continuity with other large wars, was a major conflict lasting from December 2018 to January 2019. Considered by many to be the largest clan war in Roblox history, the Ro-War overshadowed every single Marine conflict up to that point. 
== Cause and Background ==
Devinzeth, a United Clan of Roblox (UCR) officer, became the leader of Nightfall Clan (NFC) and began to siphon members from UCR. As a result, he was exiled from UCR and NFC declared war in retaliation. Quickly spilling over into the greater clan community as both were historic and well-established groups, the conflict grew exponentially as both sides received support. The original document stated that NFC declared war on UCR, FEAR, RAT, WIJ, RSF, Robine, IA, and BEAR. Many of these clans initially rejected this proposal until Obsidian Renegades declared their support for NFC, leading to a snowball of groups joining their coalition which eventually became the Pact of Titans. 
UCR formed the United Superclan Federation in response, quickly recruiting Sovereign Regime and Sleet Clan, who both heavily influenced the rest of the USF roster. The United World Federation officially swore in on behalf of UCR on December 26th.
== First Contact ==
The first major operations began around December 27th, with Marines being deployed to defend UCR's base, known as Oriion. The server comprised of Marines and a lone UCR ally emerged victorious, successfully repelling a Pact of Titans invasion force. 
Major offensive actions by both coalitions took place throughout the day, with a large raid on the Haven Archipelago taking place on the 28th. UWF forces rallied en-masse to repel a savage PoT assault, ultimately leaving the battle victorious.
== UWF Counterattack ==
After multiple successful defenses across the coalition, the UWF set its sights on an offensive victory. The first target was British Army's FOB, where a large UWF contingent deployed to achieve a major victory on behalf of the USF. Quickly punching through their defensive line and capturing the primary objective inside a small desert town, UWF forces held the line against a numerous BA force, winning the raid convincingly in their first major offensive operation of the war.
Later that day, a second UWF assault would take place against Imperial Armada. Known as one of the most skilled clans on the side of the PoT, a large Marine contingent deployed to secure a victory on one of their most difficult bases. Infamously, the base had a terminal in the final phase that was nearly impossible to capture. Quickly deploying and fighting through savage resistance, Marines worked their way through the map and managed to make it to the final phase, where a daring charge allowed them to secure the last phase terminal for the first time in the war. Holding on as long as they possibly could, the Marines were eventually defeated after a valiant effort to secure victory. 
 
Across the next two days further UWF assaults would take place against A-NEXO and Nightfall Clan, ultimately yielding unsuccessful results. Another USF attack spearheaded by USCM deployed to a PoT sword base, grinding out yet another victory in brutal close quarters combat. 
== Close of War, Aftermath ==
During the first week of January, the USF had led on offensive victories compared to the Pact of Titans, accumulating 73 wins to their 54. Sensing that all major operations were beginning to lose momentum, the USF decided to quit while they were ahead, voting in favor of ending the war prematurely. 
Both coalitions immediately disbanded following the war, and UCR declared victory over NFC. Having thoroughly pushed the clan world to its limits with over a hundred major battles taking place in less than two weeks, the Ro-War left the clan community in turmoil and drama. The UWF would go on to recoil from this conflict, avoiding another major war until the UWF-ORL War over a year later.
