The **Grangeen War** is an on-going conflict in the KC, with fighting localised to the star system of Grangeen Smar. It is primarily a conflict between Arancie and its allies against Floob and its allies. Fighting has been going on since 2009 (Mt), with most of the combat occurring since 2018 (Mt). There has been an unofficial truce in place since 2021 (Mt), though there have been military operations carried out by both parties since that time.

## Background

In the 1980s (Mt), Flooban Chancellor Hana Boggagzsmartie ousted Tylani businesses from Floob. The Tylani government of the time responded by conducting large scale espionage in Floob, much of which was discovered by the Floobans. Subsequently, the Cross-System Grangeen Smar Co-Operation Deal (Cross GSC Deal) was signed, which afforded the cooperation of Can in helping Flooban anti-espionage and peacekeeping in exchange for free business practices of foreign Canian, Tylani, Aranci businesses in Floob.

In the 1990s (Mt), Floob and Tylan secretly funded opposite sides of the Second Catmell Civil War (1989-1991, Mt), with Tylan's sponsored side, the military under General Amatal Gindasar.

In 2005 (Mt), Arancie signed major arms deals with Tylan. In 2007 (Mt), the influx of arms trading led with Tylan led to a Cross GSC resolution to stop or limit the import of arms from Tylan, in the interests of peacekeeping. After Arancie refused to honour the resolution, the Floobans instigated an arms blockade, which caused a breakdown of the Cross GSC Deal and the departure of Can, Vlam, and Wash-Lan.

## Conflict

In 2008 (Mt), the formations of the 'Democratic Front' and 'Gologi Alliance' were cemented after Aranci jounralist Peter Wiafa was arrested entering Floob on the grounds of incorrect documentation. The Aranci government demanded his release, however the Flooban government refused without ransom. During the incident, the Aranci military made several hostile military manoeuvres in Flooban airspace. One Aranci plane was tagged and forced to land by the Flooban Home Guard.

After the death of Peter Wiafa in a Flooban prison, Arancie and Tylan formed a joint task force to attempt to extract numerous Aranci political prisoners from Floob. The covert mission failed, and the Flooban refusal to release political prisoners led to a declaration of war on the 158th.

The bulk of the fighting since that time has occurred in joint Tylani and Aranci bombing raids on Flooban planetary civilian and military targets. The Flooban has responded by successfully destroying imports of arms and goods into Arancie coming from both Tylan and Can. This led Can to fortify their trade and help fund the Democratic Front.

In 2021 (Mt), Aranci bombers destroyed a Flooban hospital, killing around 12,000. They received widespread condemnation for the event.

In 2022 (Mt), Floob began conducting bombing campaigns on the planetary surface of Arancie using Gonian super-fast orbital bombers, prompting an increased investment from Evancya. The Aerodragon model bombers used by Floob were believed to have been sold in large number to Floob despite being among the most advanced Anglonian orbital bombers.
