Saturnian-Plutonian War (Afterall)

== Tension ==
The Plutonian-Saturnian war had its origins in three major events, the first of these events was Saturnian dominance in the outer and far outer Solar System, as well as incident 359 on December 12, 2233 in which 34 Plutonian colonists were killed by Saturnian military personel, as well as this, the Saturnians were getting closer and closer to Pluto, and were planning to steal Charon, Plutos most valuable and largest moon. The Second Event was the Skirmish off Neptune on June 29 2233, in which a much smaller Plutonian fleet was ambushed by pirates funded by the Saturnian empire, the Plutonians won the Battle and found evidence of the Saturnians funding the pirates, which was against the Planetary peace conference. The Final Event which ultimately caused the war happend on January 4, 2234 in which a Plutonian war hero who fought at the Battle of Umbriel was captured and executed by the Saturnian funded pirates, this was followed by the Plutonian people rooting for war.
== Situation ==
Pluto was vastly outnumbered population and Starship wise, however the Plutonians had far superior ships, and a better trained military, the Saturnians were using outdated tactics and technology, their only modernized Starship, whih was their only Turboship the B0-09 Matrex was docked on Proteus, Neptune, this was a prime target for the Plutonian war ministry, and Felix Armgado devised his five month war plan, which stated if Pluto could not beat Saturn in five months, then Pluto would face the wrath of the full Saturnian fleet.
== The War ==
The war would kick off on January 13, 2234 when 23 Subspetors, and 2 Turboships led by Felix Armgado ambushed the B0-09 Matrex, and the 13 Axrophacters guarding it at the 3 day Battle of Proteus, only one Saturnian ship was able to escape, and their only Turboship was obliterated before it could even take off, this gave the Plutonians a massive advantage, as allowed them to also secure Proteus, this was followed by the launch of Operation Felix, the plan to Moon hop to Saturn by the Plutonian fleet.
=== Operation Felix ===
The Plutonian fleet under Felix Armgado began the campaign on January 18, 2234 followed by the Plutonians moving against the Saturnian fleet which was a lot larger, it had been dispatched and was under the command of Admiral Maxis Baller, who engaged Armgado's fleet on the 21st, at the Battle of Triton, the Plutonians were able to use their better equipped ships and far superior maneuvering to cripple the Saturnian fleet, followed by the long voyayge to Saturn itself, the first portion of Operation Felix had succeeded within a few days
=== The Battle of Charon ===
The Battle of Charon, also known as Operation Pluto Down was a Saturnian attempt to bring Pluto to its knees by capturing Charon, the mission was led by Admiral Machen Volkstrum, Volkstrum himself said a victory at Charon was unrealistic and could never happen, however to prevent an execution he went ahead with the plan anyways, he engaged Plutonian Admiral Louis Sumter on the 5th of February, 2234. Due to the positioning of the Saturnian fleet, Charon ground defenses were able to user their laser cannons to cripple the Saturnian fleet, followed by a Plutonian breakthrough on the 6th.
=== Siege of Saturn and the End of the War ===
Despite the major Plutonian victories, the Saturnian OBD (Outer Belt Defense) was a force to reckon with, this led to Pluto offer Titan some of Saturns outer moons Titan declined the moon offer, but instead declared war to weaken Saturns grip on their nation, following this over 22,000 Saturnian troops landed on Titan, engaging the Titanian army at the famous Battle of Titan on the 24th of February, the Titanians using their entrenched locations and laser cannons crippled the Saturnian army on the 26th, the army which was thought to be invincible was destroyed by a force much smaller and inferior than it.
With the victory on Titan, the Titanian and Plutonian fleets engaged the Saturnians at one final battle known as the Battle of Dione, in which the Saturnian fleet was completely crippled, and routed from February 28th- March 10th 2234, following this three days later, Saturn surrendered.
== Aftermath ==
The war was very important going forward, as the previously dominant Saturnian Empire was brought to its knees, economic and cultural damage ensued, something the Empire would never recover from, in which it would collapse in 2256 almost 2 decades after the war end, for Pluto it was highly beneficial as they'd dominate the outer edges of the Solar System for the rest of the Century, for Titan it guaranteed Titanian independence, and thus the Plutonian Golden Age was Born.
