Terran-Alien Cold War

The Terran-Alien Cold War, also known in non-Terran space as the Terran Hostility, was a period of galactic history marked by hostile relations between the Terran Federal Republic and the other major galactic countries, most notably the Mirdesh Confederacy, Surben Republic and Ur-Han Kingdom. It took place in the immediate aftermath of the Great Galactic War and Treaty of Mars. It was plagued by diplomatic and military incidents between the two blocs. Ultimately the period of conflict subsided with the coming into power of Chancellor of the Republic Castex in 2664, who advocated for a less confrontational Terran foreign policy, resulting in the 2666 Détente. This was in part due to the strong pressure from Terran civil society, embodied in the Terran Perestroika.
