First Masadan War

The First Masadan War or First Grayson-Masadan War was a war fought between the Protectorate of Grayson and the Faithful of Masada.
It was one of the few interstellar wars fought without gravitic technology.
The war began in 1672 PD with initial strikes by Masada against the Yeltsin's Star System, though the strikes were conducted with purely sublight vessels as neither side possessed impellers, hyperdrive, or Warshawski sails. Fortunately, the Grayson Space Guard had established a number of electronic listening posts and remote observatories in the Kupier Belt of Yeltsin's Star to monitor the Endicott System. These posts and observatories detected the fusion drive signatures and electromagnetic noise of the approaching attack ships early enough for Protector Adrian to commission a force of hastily converted ore carriers and personnel transport to repel the Masada incursion.
The Faithful were defeated, but at heavy cost to Grayson. In recognition of its victory, the GSG was transformed into the Grayson Space Navy on November 1st, 1675 PD and made an independent, co-equal of the Grayson Army. ()
