## The Serpent war

The Serpent war was the single most costly war of the Aetherian sector, with an estimated 389,743,200,000 casualties (approximately one third the total population of the Aetherian sector). It started between the Mass Alliance, Territories of Sangrila, ICP local forces and Republic of Judecen against the arriving forces of the Serpent Empire. Mass Alliance and Judecen fleets were in the Caradine system, after a civil war in the ICP had been forced to an end, and discovered a massive portal device in the system and incidentally activated. Following it's activation a fleet from the Territories of Sangrila attempted to scout through the portal before coming into contact with a Serpent fleet who quickly destroyed their fleet and arrived in the Aetherian sector before assaulting the Mass Alliance and Judecen forces. After losing Grand Admiral Keys the fleet fell back to the main station of the Caradine system. Following a second attack from the entering Serpent fleet the forces decided to fall back out of the system, laying a trap at the station and attempting to draw in the Serpent fleet before detonating several eclipse nukes held in the station. Following that war was officially declared and the Serpent war began.

## Plasma poisoning

During the Serpent war one major factors of why the Aetherian sector suffered so many casualties is due to a side effect of Serpents plasma based weapons nick named plasma poisoning. Thanks to a mixture of Thallium and trace amounts of lead even brief contact with plasma based weapons had a major chance to leach into a persons blood stream and kill them within several hours of being hit. Field amputation became common place as amputating a damaged limb before the plasma poisoning had a chance to leach farther into the body was the only way to ensure survival.
