Coalition–First Order War

The Coalition–First Order War, previously known as the Coalition of the Willing–First Order War, First Order–Resistance War and later the Jedi Coalition–First Order War, and officially known as Operation Sovereign Justice, is a conflict taking place in the galaxy. It began upon escalation of the cold war between the First Order and the Resistance into a full-scale open war between the Coalition and its allies and the First Order. While the First Order, the successor to the fallen Galactic Empire, sought to conquer the known galaxy, the Resistance sought to preserve democracy brought upon by the New Republic. Three months before the Hosnian Cataclysm however, the Resistance allies itself with an international military alliance called the "Coalition of the Willing" which sought to end the First Order.
The war began unofficially and clandestinely when an expeditionary force under the leadership of Lord Admiral Borealis I took over the Irish Sector and secretly established the Commonwealth of Elegasso. The war, known as Operation Sovereign Justice, officially began in 34 ABY when the First Order fire its planet-sized superweapon on Starkiller Base on the Hosnian System, taking with it the New Republic Senate and government. While this did decapitated the New Republic, it only signalled the Coalition of the Willing–now the Jedi Coalition after being joined by the Galactic Alliance Defense Initiative, Swords of Sanghelios, United Nations Space Command, Imperial Remnant, New Republic remnants and later Jedi survivors–to join the fight against the First Order.
Though the war pits the First Order against the Jedi Coalition, it became complicated when a colony ship from Earth (Universe Alpha-November-India-Mike-Echo, or Universe ANIME) was accidentally brought to the galaxy and landed on Jakku after Sith remnants sabotaged the ship's FTL drive, which was based on studies on the FTL drives of crash-landed Void Coalition and Sith-Imperial warships in Eurasia, America, and Africa.
==Background==
Before 6000 BBY, the Sith have secretly constructed an unstable portal gateway that leads to the Void, which they began scouting and reconnoitering for anything useful in order to win the war. The discovery of civilization in the Void, which is unprecedented and unexpected, has given the Sith the means by which they will expand to establish cells throughout the realm. Research into the history of the Void and the disparate civilizations led to the Sith Order ordering the establishment and expansion of cells and secret societies there to convert those into the Sith cause. Initially the Sith have successes in establishing its first cells among some Void states, but their efforts hindered in other nations, chief among them was the Novayan Stellar Commonwealth, the Void's dominant hegemonic hyperpower, one of few superpowers and, despite its militaristic culture, a participant in the various peacekeeping operations, humanitarian missions and military/diplomatic interventions in various wars. Any and all attempts to establish cells there and expand them were met with opposition from the NSC's Federal Police Service, which is handed the task of tackling any and all supposed "enemies of the Void" (Old Faiths followers and their sympathizers and supporters); the Sith cells' expansions were frequently reported by local civilians, who notice unusual activities going on in their neighborhood, and their movements recorded by the NSC's state surveillance department. Even worse is that the Sith learned to their dismay of paratechnology, magic and thaumaturgy being commonplace throughout the Void.
The Sith soon discovered that the NSC's state surveillance program and anti-Old Faiths policies were the result of the Void-Light War which badly traumatized the Novayans to the point of hunting dong even the most anti-Light of the Old Faiths followers and also their own countrymen; this sense of paranoia divided the NSC and has still remain to this day. However, Sith cells reported to the Order regarding the Saiyanese Stellar Federation, the arch-rival of the NSC and a federal democratic republic which wanted to replace the NSC as the Void's supreme hyperpower; the mindset of the Saiyanese being the democracy-loving, freedom-having, liberty-seeking yet rather conservative society is influenced by the Gray Scare, which only targets the NSC not out of political competition but economic competition. Seeing the SSF as their best choice of instigating anti-NSC sentiments there, the Sith Order focused on establishing and expanding their cells there. The Sith have also begun researching on genetics to create a series of parasites which would control randomly-selected potential leaders, among them being Yarin Norsoutha, the future Schattenfuhrer of the Order-State of Merdina; pro-Sith supporters and sympathizers have also provided the locations of several Vaults of Forbidden Technologies (left behind by the Armies of the Light in an effort to convince those who oppose the NSC and its allies to use them despite the lack of interests from even the non-aligned nations), which were kept under locks and keys by the Knights of the Void and the Knights Watchers, who were assigned the task of guarding the blueprints from ever being used. At the same time, a large number of Sith agents and sympathizers have begun infiltrating several worlds to help recruit or kidnap any voidwalkers. However, their infiltration of Deimos IV, the capital world of the Crusader Sector, an autonomous territory of the NSC, have alerted the Novayan people of the kidnappings but also served as the catalyst for Lord Admiral Borealis Norsoutha I's search for his missing son, who was abducted by the Sith. The one-year-and-a-half siege of Marawat, caused by pro-Sith supporters and sympathizers, who were aided by various Sith cells, to secede from the NSC but also to buy more time for the Sith cells to steal several blueprints for Forbidden Technologies, would lead to the War against the Sith.
The Lord Admiral's war against the Sith is hampered by the Novayan–Saiyanese War, which diverted a large number of NSC military units to the frontlines. To counter his problems Borealis I ordered select high-ranking members of the Cult of the Loop to convince the Knights of the Void and the Knights Watchers, who hold the keys to the Vaults of the Forbidden Technologies, to grant him and his forces the blueprints so they can properly and efficiently wage war against the Sith. Construction of various dimensions necessary for the NSC's anti-Sith war efforts allowed for the construction of star systems, worlds, hyperworlds, gigastructures and space and military-industrial infrastructures; time passing in one of these dimensions equates to 10,000 years passed while time outside flows normally. These dimensions were built outside the Void and were involved in several battles orchestrated by the Armies of the Light and Armies of the Abyss, who both lost the battles and the gods were forced to sign an agreement that allows the Lord Admiral to continue waging war against the Sith. Both the Sith Order and the Lord Admiral's forces turned their gaze to Universe Alpha-November-India-Mike-Echo, a recently-created universe (or multiverse), and so fought the longest covert battles which ended in a last battle over Earth-ANIME between a Sith-Imperial armada and a Void Coalition armada; the Sith-Imperial armada suffered massive casualties while the Void Coalition armada suffered moderate casualties.
Outside of the battle for Earth, the Lord Admiral's forces constructed large numbers of dimensions (dubbed Military Staging Grounds, Testing Grounds and Research Grounds) to help accommodate the growing NSC military-industrial complex and expeditionary forces. The Sith did build their own dimensions but were woefully outmatched by the NSC's ever-growing armed forces. Covert wars, planetary and universal invasions, and wars of conversions occur on a daily basis, and it saw the NSC always winning and mopping up any Sith-aligned forces that remain. Even after the Sith Empire fell by 6000 BBY, the work of the many Sith cells continue, forcing research of paratechnology which would allow for dimensional, interdimensional and extradimensional containment of Sith-infested verses. The war also saw highly common use of anomalous and mundane means to win the war: amnestics, mnestics, memetics, antimemetics, cognitohazards, infohazards, psionics, reality warping/bending, conceptual and counterconceptual warfare, psychological warfare, hearts and minds winning, et cetera. While devastating to those who experienced war, the use of amnestics and gigastructures to restore every worlds to pre-war and pre-Sith states helped prevent knowledge of the Lord Admiral's wars from spreading, and reduced Sith cells to a manageable 5%.

===Takeover of the Irishi Sector (32 ABY)===
The first, albeit unofficial action made by elements of NSC military units operating clandestinely under the leadership of Lord Admiral Borealis I is the takeover of the Irishi Sector. Operation Sundown comes in three stages: the hearts and minds stage, the elimination stage, and the takeover stage. The first stage of Operation Sundown sees large numbers of FIS agents infiltrating the Irishi Sector and establishing cells there, expanding them only when the time comes to do so. As instructed in their briefings on Operation Sundown, the facade of a benevolent force from beyond the galaxy (and perhaps even the universe), the Paragon Order, is projected through manifestos and ideological pawns.
The expression of the Paragon Order is mainly a political doctrine and social movement advocating a federal government where many worlds have the right to full representation, the right to arm, train and equip its own military, and other tenets embodied by the Void Coalition and the NSC. Instead of a Galactic Senate which is always locked in constant conflict between various senators and immensely flawed a Galactic Parliament, a proper legislature with the Galactic Senate as the upper house and the House of Representatives as the lower house, will be put in place. It acknowledges that the New Republic is dysfunctional and inefficient and that the worst Imperial remnants such as the First Order (minus the Sartinaynian/Bastion Imperial Remnant) will establish a totalitarian military regime to rule over the galaxy, but the Paragon Order actively works to give the people a sense of hope and relief and establish itself as a bastion of freedom. Slavery, corruption and piracy is vilified by the Paragon Order who called for the end of those issues.
To help further the hearts and minds stage, thaumaturges were sent to the sector's worlds, showing miracles by healing all those who are ill, handicapped or old, rooting out all the corrupt and greedy people, and selecting those who were skilled, honest and competent to rule over the people benevolently.
The second stage occur after much of the people of the Irishi Sector believed in the propaganda espoused by the Paragon Order. This stage has seen various FIS cells rooting out all First Order cells and their supporters and sympathizers. Supporters for the Paragon Order rallied against the First Order, hunting down its cells and their supporters and sympathizers throughout the sector. At the same time members of the NSC Special Operations Command were deployed to eliminate Sith cells present there.
The last stage, the takeover stage, begins after the purge of all Sith and First Order cells. Fleets were sent to the Irishi Sector with a large contingent of ground forces with the Monarch Fortitude, the flagship of the Lord Admiral, at the lead. The fleets were divided into various flotillas, each having three or five FTL-inhibiting vessels to prevent any and all local ships from going in to or out of the Irishi Sector. Ground forces were deployed to the sector's worlds as Lord Admiral Borealis I announced to all of the Irishi Sector that he hereby placed the sector under the control of the NSC military. Shock overwhelmed the people but the Lord Admiral continued, "And I know you don't like the idea of a foreign power not from this galaxy or even this universe taking over the Irishi sector, but it is the only thing you will have to tolerate due to the existence of various Sith cells and First Order movements here. The enemy you see today isn't us but the Sith themselves, and it is they who manipulate the events taking place in this galaxy. And once we destroyed the Sith and the First Order all the promises in the Paragon Order will be brought up. All the gifts and benefits of a modern world will be bestowed to you by us, and we will make sure we do that today."
In spite of this the Irishi sector, now the Commonwealth of Elegasso or the Commonwealth of Irishi, received the benefits of a modern world: a small but elite military force is established with soldiers receiving payment and other benefits, schools were opened and reopened to educate the Irishi people and their children on the modern ways, industries were propped up to boost the economy, distributism and meritocratic capitalism were also propped up to further the economy, ships were modernized and equipped with Alcubierre Drives, production of goods and services were streamlined, healthcare and housing is improved, the people received equal rights, military equipment (local or NSC-made) were produced and tactics and strategies developed for the Irishi military, and religious buildings were built to allow the sector's religious population to worship.
Once the NSC's military presence is fully established and kept from the eyes of all others, he ordered agents operating under the Federal Intelligence Service's Task Force Fluchs to deliver intelligence reports to Grand Marshal Borealis III on Galaxy Foxtrot-Foxtrot-Alpha and the threats posed by the First Order, a remnant of the Galactic Empire and in secret the outer form of the Sith Empire, designed to be a political doctrine and social movement. Due to sketchy information regarding the First Order in spite of the efforts of various thaumaturges and spies working clandestinely to find out about it, the reports referred to it as an Imperial remnant and a coalition of pro-Imperial factions. The reports (and in turn the Lord Admiral) failed to mention the presence of the Galactic Alliance Defense Initiative, which is working to defend the galaxy after the New Republic is found to be inefficient and dysfunctional, due to the Lord Admiral's preparing his forces for the inevitable battle.
===Operation Audacious Presence===
Alarmed by the presence of an Imperial remnant hellbent on retaking the galaxy to restore the Galactic Empire, Grand Marshal Borealis III and his personal council of peers, the Military Staff Committee, ordered the Admiralty and General Staff to mobilize a large number of NSC Army and Navy units; the Grand Marshal then pressed the Void Coalition Security Council and General Assembly to assemble an expeditionary force composed of military units from various nations willing to defend the galaxy from the tyrannical First Order and its allies under the codename Operation Sovereign Justice, originally Operation Sovereign's Justice, so named due to the NSC being the hyperpower leading the coalition and bringing justice to a galaxy that has since become dysfunctional.
Operation Audacious Presence involves the establishment of military bases outside the Void. Several star systems were surveyed for the first Void Coalition presence outside the Void to allow for the construction of military bases, planetary habitats, orbital habitats, starbases, anchorages, infrastructure, laboratories, storehouses and a number of colonized worlds, the extraction of minerals and the production of military equipment necessary for the war effort. These star systems will serve as the staging grounds for the Void Coalition's expeditionary force to receive reinforcements.
