During the war, the country became much more militant and nationalistic. They were one of the last nations to surrender. The war brought massive social change to Salvos and cult of their military grew massively in size.
=== Post Great War ===
Soon after the Great War, the inevitable collapse of the civilian government and the institution of a dictatorship was realized when General Tar Cassius seized power, ascending to Dominarch of Salvos.

Their soldiers became well respected mercenaries throughout the system, with many finding work off world. The new age of military industry in Salvos led to a massive economic recovery and eventually an alliance with the Empire of Solaris under Masol X.
