Rhadore War

The Rhadore War was fought between εγλ 1982 and εγλ 1992 between the Shinra Electric Power Company and the natives of the Rhadore Archipelago in the Final Fantasy VII series. The conflict is depicted in Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis.
Shinra had previously been allied with Rhadore. Upon the discovery of mako on the islands, Shinra decided to build a mako reactor, but the Rhadorans did not consent. Relations were severed, and Shinra invaded the islands. The Rhadorans put up a determined fight, but were unable to resist the mighty Shinra Army. Less than 1,000 Rhadorans survived the battle.
Despite the initial victory, Shinra was in no hurry to finish off the Rhadorans or start the construction work. Only a decade later did it dispatch SOLDIERs Glenn Lodbrok, Lucia Lin and Matt Winsord to search for a suitable site. Their helicopter was shot down by the remnants of the Rhadoran Army, delaying but not stopping the team. When they located a suitable site on the island of Sijad, the Rhadoran resistance attacked and forced the SOLDIERs to hide in a cave.
Sephiroth was dispatched to assume command and kill the remaining Rhadorans. A battle was fought in Cawpine Cave, where even children and the elderly put up a formidable fight. Although Sephiroth was wounded in battle, the SOLDIERs succeeded in killing all the Rhadorans.
Shortly after, a team of engineers arrived to start constructing a mako reactor. However, controlled explosions from the construction work triggered a chain reaction, causing Sijad to be consumed by a mako torrent. All Shinra personnel evacuate. A group of SOLDIERs attempted to rescue Rosen, the last remaining Rhadoran. He instead begged to be killed, a wish granted by Sephiroth.
