Aesthetican Civil War

The Aesthetican Civil War was a civil war between the Aristocra of Aesthetica and the Populists, in the years of 2241-45, although related conflicts began earlier. It involved the majority of the Aesthetican population. In a state of total war, both participants threw their entire economic, industrial and scientific capabilities into the war effort, almost erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by the mass death of civilians, including the genocide of over 17,000,000 Chiss and human males, and the numerous mass-rapes of Chiss and human females, as well as totalling over 70,000,000 military causalities, it was the single deadliest conflict in Aesthetican history.

The war was said to have begun on the 5th February, 2241, when the then-incumbent Aristocra Aiyran Sa'aculla declared war upon the Chiss and Human majorities, after three years of propaganda campaigns against these individuals. In response, displaced Chiss from Akkad and Ara'aya marched north towards Ka'roo, where a successful rebellion was staged and the city was captured. A month later, the city of Ka'roo was embargoed, beginning the Battle of the Erii Sea, that ended two years later. Two shorter naval battles followed, the battles of Sai'ara Island and Port Centara, leading to the first Populist victory of the war, wherein naval dominance paved the way for several aerial and space victories. In 2244, with air superiority established, the first major land battles of the war began. The combined arms of the Populist Alliance made south towards Ara'aya, where they were met with Cham Himitea's Army Group Noran, beginning the first Battle of Ara'aya. After being driven out of Ara'aya, Army Group Noran regrouped with Ve'ersan Syndu'ub's Army Group Se'raa, and began a counterattack two months later. The attack failed, and the remnants of the combined Army Groups retreated to the Saleen Hills, marking the beginning of the end of the National Front.
From this point, Lieutenant General Arsona Gerrick took over from Cher'atrana'chuun and began her famous push to Akkad. Within a year, Gerrick had chased the National Front to the gates of Akkad in a series of battles and minor skirmishes, eliminating the Frontier's naval, space and air presences, deteriorating their tank divisions and laying siege to Akkad. A month after the siege of Akkad was laid, the National Front surrendered, and the war was over.
