The Great Northern War

## **Background:**

The Great Northern War was fought primarily by the Silent Federation and Fireflies. Both entities were driven into direct contention with each other after each sought to colonize Branch. Fire Flies an early ally of the Northern Federation The Silent Federation first began establishing their claims to Branch after successfully eliminating the Northern Federation who called BKG-Q2 their home. These claims withered as The Silent Federation fought to cement their hegemony during The Deklein War. After the Deklein War concluded on January 24th of 2021, the Silent Federation returned to their earlier visions of expansion. In response to this Fire Flies immediately began roaming, setting up gate/station camps in off time zones, and striking Federation assets (Player Owned Stations). This immediately set the two entities on a crash course for war that would span from early February 2021 to its conclusion in August of 2021. This conflict would span from Fade to Tenal. At various points through the war, third parties, such as No Please Stop, Golden Horde Alliance, Pantheon, Genesis Federation would assist one side or the other.
