Acropolan-Conkirite War

Joining Sides
News of the Alliance's victory at Zetta Secundus stretched well beyond the boundaries of the war, catching the attention of many nations, most notably the Acropolan Republic and the Conkirite Empire. Once close allies, the two had been at war ever since a coup that had resulted in a tyrant taking control of Conkirite society. Both sides were evenly matched, and were seeking out ways to turn the tide. Following Zetta Secundus, the Acropolan reached out to the Peacekeepers, offering them economic and material support in exchange for help against the Conkirite. The Alliance promptly accepted their offer. When the Acropolan proclaimed their pledge to the Alliance, the Conkirites retaliated by reached out to the Warlords, offering the Pact what was at the time much needed resources in exchange for support. Like the Peacekeepers, the Pact agreed, and the Acropolan-Conkirite War became a front of the Great War. But even with the support of the two greater powers, neither the Acropolan nor the Conkirite were able to attain a clear advantage over the other, and the war remained a stalemate.

Biomatter Intervention
Taldrin was a small Acropolan colony located on the fringes of their empire. Far from the Great War and the Conkirites, the planet was lightly-defended and was considered to be of little priority. This would ultimately prove to be its downfall when Apophis attacked the colony. Unable to repel the invaders, the colony was soon overran, leading to the deaths of most of the planet's population.
