The **Second Ghost War** refers to the conflicts stemming from the Shadow King of Ghosts, Asolas' second rise to power after his return in 2004. In 2007, Asolas found out about Michael Thompson's son, Tom Thompson and demanded the Lux Republic to surrender him to Asolas. The Lux Republic refused, Asolas then waged a violent campaign seeking to topple the Lux Republic.

Tom Thompson, capable of bringing an end to Asolas' power, took an active role in this war, alongside his peers in Alpha VI. The Second War technically began in 2007, and ended on 30 July, 2018, on the planet Hidra, after the supposed death of Asolas. However, the conflict technically ended on 5 August when the Second Galactic Treaty was signed.

## History

### Prelude (1975-2006)

#### First Ghost War (1975-1984)

*Main article: First Ghost War*
"*My father fought in a war?!*"
—Tom Thompson

The First Ghost War was fought for nine years, from 1975 to 1984. It included Asolas' rise to power, the induction of the Ghost Empire, and the mass chaos that resulted in his reign of terror.

#### Galactic Interwar (1985-2006)

The Galactic Interwar was a peaceful period, but it ultimately led to the Second Ghost War occurring. In 2004, Vincent Grey helps Asolas escape the Ex-Void. He then went on a tear murdering many Lux Republic members, notably Michael Thompson. The Ghost Empire then held back from any attacks for the next 3 years. Gorgeth Bierack then created Program X in 2007, which led to the start of the Second Ghost Empire.

### The War

#### Battle of Suezeus

*Main article: Battle of Suezeus*
"*I know that you are preparing to fight. Your efforts are worthless. You cannot defeat me. I do not want to kill all of you. I have great respect for all of you. Surrender to me now and you all shall be rewarded.*"
—Asolas' Ultimatum
When the Lux Republic learned that Matthew Abrams was captured by the Ghost Empire, the Lux Republic ordered a full force attack on the Bareid. This leaded to a large-scale battle. Gordon DeHathem led his forces from the *Leviathan* while Skorpiuz and Asolas led the defenders of Bareid.

The battle ended with a decisive victory for the Lux Republic, with many ghosts and Asolas himself dead. It was the most devastating battle of the war, with casualties including: Asolas, Tom Thompson, Teus, Gordon DeHathem, Datthew, Zom, Dom, and hundreds more who fought against each other. It is also assumed to be the final conflict in which the Sword of Adeisus took part, due to it being sealed and hidden away in the LX-HQ1.

#### Endgame

*Main article: Asolas's Last Stand*
**Asolas:** "*That is **my** father's sword you stupid little human!!!"*
The duel starts when Tom Thompson, in his Stark combat suit finds Asolas in his lair, the Hatrix. Tom unsheathes the Sword of Adeisus and brawls Asolas, Asolas manages to disarm Tom and lifts him out of the lair and through debris injuring and damaging his combat suit. They brawl until Tom's combat suit is completely damaged and risks his life by taking the suit off. Tom gets hold of the sword and he stabs Asolas through his heart. Tom thought it was all over until Asolas delivers a fatal blow to him. Asolas slowly dies and Tom is left to bleed with his friends and future wife, Rachel over his dying body trying to keep him alive. Tom dies but not in vain as he ends the Battle of Suezeusand the Second Ghost War.

### Aftermath

After the death of Asolas and Tom Thompson, the remaining Ghost Empire members buried Asolas's body in a tomb. Tom's body was buried right next to his parents in the Nortic graveyard. The Sword of Adeisus was concealed and hidden in the Depository.

## Known casualties

Plus tens of thousands of members of the Lux Republic and the Ghost Empire.
