Eclipse Civil War (Xbox Live)

The Eclipse Civil War (June 24th, 2013 - February 21st, 2017) was an online conflict that took place within various games on the Xbox Live service on both the Xbox 360 and Xbox One with various groups fighting for control of the broken Eclipse Empire. The civil war went on for at least four years with the belief that Clan President Kanade Tachibana would return to lead the Eclipse Empire, though this did not happen.
During the war, many of the previous leaders battled against each other for control of each other's armies. Some conflicts lasted longer than others while some only lasted one month.
In January 2017, former Clan Vice President now Clan President Angel had united the majority of the Eclipse Empire remnants together to form the Loyalist Empire and waged one last conflict against the R.V. Eclipse Empire, who were then defeated a month later and agreed to stand down and disappear. The Loyalist Empire then disbanded itself, ending the Eclipse Civil War.
== History ==
=== Early conflicts ===
==== Ruka vs. Varanee ====
During the war, many new self-proclaimed online warlords worked to control the broken Eclipse Empire. One notable online warlord was Ruka Ven and his faction fought against Varanee's Eclipse Empire for about three months before coming to an agreement and banding together to be larger than other remnant factions.
Their alliance together would lead to them claiming to be a direct successor to the Eclipse Empire and saw themselves as both Clan Presidents of their Empire.
==== Uriah vs. Angel ====
Uriah's remnant fought against Angel's remnant for two years as well as trying to hold off members of the R.V. Eclipse Empire. During their conflict, the two had thrown their best at each other and even attempted in-game assassinations against one other but did not succeed due to the superiority of their members and tactics. This conflict was probably the longest in the Eclipse Civil War. Both Uriah and Angel knew the cost of their war was too great and eventually Angel won. Many of those in their command continued their loyalty towards them while some did not, and left during the ashes of the conflict.
==== Kuren vs. Nightmare ====
Kuren's group fought against Nightmare's remnant for control of each other's armies and attempted in-game assassinations. Kuren had tried to get other remnant groups on his side such as MsSilentKiller and Teddy but refused because they had their own conflicts to deal with. Both Kuren and Nightmare continued to fight against each other in hopes of the other side giving up. Eventually though, their conflict ended after a while, making it the shortest conflict in the civil war only lasting one month.
==== Teddy vs. Xxirt ====
Teddy and Xxirt's conflict was about who would stand with Angel when the civil war would end and about who was the best Clan Vice President sitting next to Angel. During their conflict, they fought with hard offense tactics and successfully sabotaged each other's plans a few times. Both Teddy and Xxirt eventually joined someone else, ending their conflict and swore their loyalty to them.
==== Silent vs. Loyalists ====
Silent and her clan were up against Tachibana's Loyalists, who she did not know the leader of, and fought them in hopes of taking out the leader and claiming their forces for her to command to reorganize her clan into something more bigger like another Eclipse Empire. This gave her motivation to push against the Loyalists and to take every possible chance she gets to claim said forces. Unknown to Silent and her lieutenants, Tachibana's Loyalists were secretly led by Clan President Kanade Tachibana herself who was believed to have been nothing but a myth within the Eclipse Empire.
=== Conflicts ===
==== Kuren and Teddy vs. Xxirt and Angel ====
Kuren went against Angel after the early conflicts were over and had gotten Teddy and his army to help in his fight against both Angel and Xxirt's faction in a war that lasted for about seven months, being the second longest clan war in the Eclipse Civil War. During this war, both sides worked to try and over power the other by hiring various assassin groups to take out important figures in each other's clan.
After seven months of their clan war against each other, Angel and Xxirt were able to drive away both Kuren and Teddy and started a loyalist alliance to bring the warring clans together and form a successor state of the Eclipse Empire.
==== Uriah and Nightmare vs. Angel and Loyalists ====
After their last war against each other, tensions between Angel and Uriah fired up once again and resulted in the Second Remnant War. This time Angel and Uriah had allies to back them up and only called in their allies whenever it was necessary.
During the war, Angel had called upon his allies only once to assist in a battle against Uriah and Nightmare's alliance. The war alone was enough for Angel and Uriah but both of them had decided that they would put on with it until a solution would present itself.
Finally after a while, Angel and his alliance with Xxirt finally sought to reunite Uriah's remnant with Angel's in an effort to end the war before any more fighting could continue, and to Uriah's instinct, he had accepted the offer for peace and began interaction with each other's clans to keep the peace going and to trust each other in close proximity.
==== Reunification of Empires ====
After the Second Remnant War, Angel and his allies had plans to create a new empire called the Eclipse Federation, and since Angel started the Imperial Alliance, it would be; Eclipse Federation of an Imperial Alliance.
During this time, Angel tried to get the R.V. Eclipse Empire into the alliance but denied as both Ruka and Varanee took up arms against Angel and the alliance in an effort to claim their armies for their own command which resulted in the Empire-Loyalist War.
==== Ruka and Varanee vs. Loyalist Empire ====
After the R.V. Eclipse Empire declared war on the Imperial Alliance, they had prepared all of their armies for it and had begun employing various mercenary, assassin, and bounty hunter groups to their side as the Alliance did the same with their support and protection services which protected multiple clans in the services.
The war also resulted in a permanent opposition of Ruka and Varanee against the Loyalist Empire where Angel saw that Ruka and Varanee would no longer be part of the Empire and that they had forgotten where they stood in it before the civil war. Many of their soldiers swore loyalty to them and them only, and since Kanade Tachibana was no longer a leader in the empire, no one sought her loyalty or leadership at all as she was completely forgotten by the leaders during their conflicts with each other.
The Empire-Loyalist War soon became the largest war to date in the Eclipse Civil War, with all of the empires on one of the two sides to bring peace in the broken Eclipse Empire. Angel and Ruka both knew that once the first battle took place, there was no turning back from what was happening, and they both pushed forward towards the future of the Eclipse Empire.
Eventually after a month, the war ended with the R.V. Eclipse Empire surrendering their armies to the Loyalist Empire and both Ruka and Varanee were told to drop everything and leave while they had a chance. Angel and his allies then agreed that if they had formed a successor to the Eclipse Empire, the same thing would happen which then led to the Loyalist Empire's dissolution. Giving their troopers freedom of choice, and officially disbanded the Loyalist Empire.
=== Post-Eclipse Civil War era ===
In March 2017, one former trooper of the Eclipse Empire had aimed to form the Shock Trooper Guardsmen, an unofficial successor to the dissolved Eclipse Empire as well as the Loyalist Empire. This Guardsmen was officially disbanded in June 2017 due to "remnants" of the Eclipse Empire that caused problems. However again in July 2017, the same trooper then formed the New Eclipse Empire in hopes of restoring the Old Eclipse Empire back to its roots as clan to provide smaller clans with support and protection.
This New Empire currently has been allied with a group called the Roman Spartans, and also operates an alliance structure called the Imperial Alliance with a governing body called Council of the Alliance.
