Habise War

== Habise War ==
The Habise War is a poorly documented war outside of the Ascendancy, and is only truly studied in Suntterland regional schools. The complex political situation in both Essotori, the Pam Empire and the Taruq Kingdom was unlike anywhere else in the world. The new Negasi, or Emperor of Pam, wished to assert his independence by fully conquering the Taruq Kingdom. He did this with the aid off Essotori, as well as the personal military support of Andrew Hughes, and Essotori oligarch. To counter this, future Governor General Harold Suntter bestowed advanced Essotori weaponry to the Taruq Kingdom, which led to a decisive Taruq victory, at the expense of both Essotori's policy of supporting Pam, as well as Andrew Hughes personally. This incident resulted in Suntter's exile from Essotori, forcing him to reside in Suntterland itself until his trial in 1918. Even in 1940, he cited the Battle of Daels, where he fought personally in the final siege, as the proudest moment of his life. In a moment of great humiliation for the Pam Empire, General Suntter exploited his leverage to act as the Negasi's interpreter, judge, and jury. He forced his own Imperial pardon, and the exile of Andrew Hughes. He also demanded additional concessions for his own company, granting the Suntter Corporation the exclusive rights to operate the Pam arms and mining operations, effectively nationalising his rivals' assets. The Habise War would set the ground work for General Suntter's rise to power in Pam, as well as Taruq's own fall to the Cult, which would occur in 1921, to the same man who saved them. The war provided Essotori with valuable experience, and General Suntter's writings contributed significantly to strategy in the first world war.
