Second Sped War

The Second Sped War was a conflict taking place mostly in the northwest corner of the Gramwall, though battles and griefing attacks connected to the war took place in every part of the world other than the Tapfer Region and Central Graminica. The conflict was fought mostly between the Spedolian Empire and Nova Cannovan independence movement. However, several factions ranging from the Alaskaberian Empire, Gramkorps, United Sped Forces, and barbarian mercenaries were involved on both sides.

## Prelude to the War

The original plan for war crafted by the Second Black Pact fell apart as a result of the Rat Incident. This indirectly led to the collapse of the Second Black Pact. In revenge Gramkorps attacked Spedolia and funded a rebellion in Nova Cannova. This conflict, the Second Corporate War was a short conflict, as eventually Nikki caved into paying Gramkorps, however the rebellion in Nova Cannova still went through.

The Spedolians prepared to invade Nova Cannva, or the Valdreach Imperial Republic and bring it back under Spedolian control.

## The Events of the War

### The First Day

Zero2471166 recruited a member of his space engineers clan, John06818097 to the Spedolian Army. With Matthew's permission they set up a camp on the border of Sinu and the Valdreach Imperial Republic before invading and declaring war.

The Spedolian Forces rapidly advanced through the Nova Cannovan countryside. The vast majority of the country was immediately occupied with the exception of the islands to the north. Grenadier used a Swastiship which he rented from Imperial Arms to fight the Spedolians, though the Swastiship was crippled as it was left in the middle of reprogramming.

He hired Gramkorps to do fighting on the ground, however, GramCanMineAway had been disabled by the levels of lag, being incapable of opening chests, shulkers, or his inventory. Despite this, Gram fought the Spedolians on the ground for the entire day of combat.

The Spedolians captured the Imperial Arms built fort on the hill east of Duckpond, and would use it as a base of operations for the rest of the world. Also in the fort, Gram set his spawn, so Gramkorps and Spedolia were both operating out of this fort. In this time, the Spedolians continually attempted to board Grenadier's ship, resulting in the dozens of pillars into the sky around Nova Cannova during the war.

Early attempts to board the ship were somewhat successful, with both Zero2471166 and John0681 boarding and causing severe damage to the center of the ship. Grenadier, due to his lack of supplies was forced to repair with whatever he had on him and initially thought it would be a good idea to repair with TNT, before realizing it was a horrible idea and switching to blocks such as kelp, brick, and wooden planks. After this, there were other chances to damage the ship, such as when a Nova Cannovan TNT Space Cannon was repurposed by the Spedolians as an anti-aircraft gun. For most of the rest of this day Grenadier would avoid direct confrontation and serve as a mobile Gramkorps resupply point along with occasionally killing the Spedolian forces.

Gram's resistance to the Spedolian Army on the ground slowly deteriorated as his lag-based disability did not allow him to properly resupply without help from Grenadier. The Battle of Nova Cannova continued into the night, slowly fizzling out.

### The Second Day

When the second day of the war began, the first actions taken were LeGrenadier7453 reinforcing his swastiship with netherite and maintenance was done to the weaponry aboard it, allowing the Swastiship to rack up dozens of kills later into the day. At this same time, Nikki hired Spirit to fight for the Spedolians as a paramilitary force for 75 units and drafted Colin for the war effort. The Spedolians and their mercenaries continued to attempt to board the Swastiship

### The 10/25/2021 Turmoil

While the war raged on in Nova Cannova, Grenadier ordered Yummy to take the fight to the Spedolians by bombing the "military targets" in Spedium. Yummy traveled to the city, proceeding to destroy the entire Spedolian capital building. At some other point, likely in this day he also destroyed the Alaskaberian Capitol Building and is suspected to be responsible for attacks in Nova Cannova and Cornea.

These attacks resulted in a temporary collapse of social order, as this was an unprecedented scale of griefing, as in most other cases where massgriefing was attempted it was contained by moderation. Originally before the details of this attack was known to the public Grenadier was blamed for the destruction, and even after it was cleared up the Whoresaw Pact seemed to blame Grenadier above Yummy. Because of this, when Alaskaberian troops intervened in the war, RaiderKillz121 threatened to destroy several monuments, structures, and forts if Grenadier failed to surrender, to no affect, though this did result in a major wave of griefing across Nova Cannova by Whoresaw Pact forces.

As the griefing wave and combat in Nova Cannova calmed down, more details of the 10/25 Attacks came out and the people of the server got chances to speak to both LeGrenadier7453 and YummyQuee for it. Yummy showed no remorse for what he had done, and even seemed proud. He had also knowingly misinterpreted orders and violated the ceasefire which went into affect a few minutes before he detonated his TNT. When asked to turn himself in and help repair the damage he caused, he instead decided to flee and wage 'jihad against the entire world'.

Gramkorps also withdrew all support for Nova Cannova, as they bore partial responsibility for the attack and Gram was offered a promotion in the United Sped Forces, as in response to the attack Nikki called in his Halo clan, the United Sped Forces. Any member of the USF who served in the war and fought until the end would receive a promotion. Grenadier continued to be bullied by Alaskaberian and USF troops for his part to play in the chaos.

This event and wave of chaos and destruction is thought to have nearly led to a serverwide collapse of law and order, which might have led to a nearly apocalyptic event had it escalated. Though this crisis was diverted, this attack still resulted in a partial collapse of law and order and a wave of griefing attacks in the following days.

### The Partition of Alteria

In response to the 10/25 Attacks, the USF and Spedolian Empire delivered and ultimatum to the Alterian government. This ultimatum threatened to annex Alteria if they did not pay reparations, disavow Yummy, and allow the size of their state to be massively reduced. They did disavow Yummy, and seemingly dethroned him through Parliament, though they failed to live up to the other terms of the ultimatum.

In response to this, the USF invaded Alteria and claimed the majority of Alteria's original holdings for the Spedolian Empire. The CSA also invaded, claiming Southern Bloodycunt, North Atlas, and all Alterian islands. There was almost no resistance to this as the Kingdom of Alteria simply collapsed without Yummy's cult of personality holding it up. Only a strip of Bloodycunt remained as Alterian territory until the next day it was claimed by 'Blaze Clan', led by Kai4887.
