War for Independence

"'We all understood that war was brewing in the frontier, and when Horizon was burned to ashes...I guess the decision was made for us.'""―Colonial Captain Nathan Chester"The War for Independence (2242-2291), also known as the Colonial Rebellion and the Great War, was the name given to the first Interstellar war fought by Humans. The war was named for the tension buildup resulting from cultural and society differences between those on Earth and the Colones.

Beginning with the First Fleet being sent and committing the Fratricide against the colony of Horizon, and next with the United Colonies managing a masterful ambush of the main Confederate Fleet did the fighting begin for nearly 50 years and major battles being fought, such as the Battle of Deimos and the Blitz of Luna.

It would come to an end after the Tragedy of Alkahi, where famous individual Mandos Armalai died after a Colony fireship incinerated his transport. With no side declared the winner, The colonies and the Confederation reform the government: Earth now became a single, United force just like a colony retained full control of its surface. All Colonies gained independence and had a say in the governmental council: each planet could elect a representative, who would then choose a Confederation chancellor. All colonies were grouped into three sectors: The Core sector, the Peloponnesian Sector and the Huaweng sector.
