Solar-Sapphirian War

## Overview

On March 15, 12,066. The growing Multi-century old Natogytt space nation, the "Third Shrine Republic" and their Vramese puppets jointly attacked the Human fleets over Mars and destroyed the human's fledgling colonies there.
The UTSE lost a third of it's fleet in the opening stages of the war as the TSR fleet moved to Earth itself, the bombardment campaigns begun due to the surprising resistance of the Kaiser and his fleet. The TSR forces in these bombardment campaigns killed 17% of the human race. Matt Tygore was not yet ready to use his trump card on the Natogytt invaders and commanded every man, woman and child to fight the Natogytt ground forces while his own forces hold the fleets at bay. Matt Tygore's fleet did little to stop the endless war machine of the TSR, his first son, Joel Tygore was then put in charge of the fleet as Matt Tygore and the Sky Tiger II warped to Europa to formulate a new plan in secret, they encountered an unlikely ally, Drake Liska and a colony of humans who fled from Earth after the planetary civil war 21 years earlier.

Drake Liska though an age old enemy of Matt Tygore was quickly convinced on the dire nature of the situation. Drake Liska and the small force he built up and joined forces with his old enemy in the fight against the Natogytts, even this however was not enough. The allied fleet engaged in hit and run attacks over the next 2 years before two more unlikely forces arrived. The Krovan Empire and the Zarnian Kingdom of Tiaxalacan. Jointly declared war on the TSR for their constant excursions and skirmishes within their territory and allied with the Humans in an event known as "The Treaty of Kernal" For the first time humans engaged in diplomacy with alien powers and were seen as a proxy by the aliens against the encroaching sapphirian Natogytts. and as any proxy, the UTSE was supplied new weapons, ships and supplies to supplement them and keep the battle lines against the TSR as wide as possible.

Matt Tygore got an advanced warning of an impending attack by the TSR from a Krovan Military leader known as Duuvriduvsin, Duuvriduvsin had captured a TSR Battleship and gained the information from the prisoners through psi-torture.

Matt Tygore laid a trap for his enemies, he arranged a small decoy fleet to draw the TSR in and waited for the TSR to begin positioning themselves for another Earth bombardment, then as the hour shifted to July 18, the real fighting began. Matt Tygore and Drake Liska's combined forces warped in and trapped the TSR forces between the fleets and Earth, at the same time the Earth's last remaining anti-space defenses fired their mass driver systems and within half in hour the TSR forces faced their first defeat in a head to head space battle with Terran forces. Kal: Tundar Mynn called for a retreat and commended the UTSE officers before warping back to TSR space. Matt Tygore was part of the negotiations to facilitate peace between the powers.

On November 11, 12072 The TSR agreed to peace with the 33 Factions including the UTSE that were formerly at war with them. With this victory under his belt, Matt Tygore became an ironic symbol of resistance against oppression and various other factions across the nine sector's region, this allowed the aging Kaiser to exert more political and military will and extend the power of the UTSE by assisting and taking assistance from alien allies.
