Wemepo War

The Wemepo War was a conflict fought between the Terran Federal Republic and the Wemepo Nation-State in the mid-25th century. Fighting mostly took place during 2459 with some minor skirmishes in 2460. The remainder of the war was primarily marked by the Scourging of Wemepo by the Terran Sixth Armada. The war ultimately resulted in a complete Terran victory and the annihilation of the Wemepo species. 
Up until their encounter with the Terrans, the Wemepo had been completely isolated and had only entered their early interstellar age. Their species was however reticent to any negotiation until it was wiped out in 2463. The Wemepo Nation-State has been extensively studied by Terran and alien xenologists for centuries, as Terran bombardment which utilised many non-destructive weapon systems such as gas and neutron bombs left many Wemepo cities untouched. The uniqueness of Wemepo unwarranted xenophobia has also been the subject of many studies. 
The war was initiated by the destruction of the MTS Brightbay, a MAERSK civilian transport by a small Wemepo force. This incident, which occurred in 2456, would not come to notice of the Terran state until 2459 when the wreck of Brightbay was discovered. A massive expeditionary fleet was dispatched and the small Wemepo fleer, utterly outmatched both technologically and numerically were annihilated at the Battle of Sandhurst II by the Terran forces. After a preliminary bombing of military facilities was executed in early 2460, the war would not see much action until it was declared by executive decree the Wemepo had to be wiped out on June 3rd 2462. Until February 2463, the Federal Navy engaged in a mass bombing campaign which ultimately resulted in the wiping of the Wemepo.
