Gamian War

The Gamian War was an intergalactic conflict between the Gamian Empire and the Regional Ultimate Accord of Colanexa (RUAC) from 1971 GHC to 1974 GHC. It is the deadliest war in either planet’s history, as well as one of the bloodiest conflicts in the history of the known universe to-date. Roughly half of Colanexa’s population was killed (around two billion killed or wounded, both military and non-military), with a similar amount of Gamian (estimates range from 1.9 to 2.5 billion) casualties attributable to the war, which lasted just under three years. Roughly two-thirds of the Colanexa's population had been displaced by the conflict.

Background and Causes
Contact was established with Gamian colonizers in late 1970 GHC. The Gamians, suffering from an overpopulation crisis, were seeking new worlds outside of their system to disperse their people. Shortly after communication was established, planning began on the Gamian side to determine what they would need in their dire situation.

On March 28th, 1971 (GHC), in-person talks were started between the Gamian Imperial Court and the Colanexian Inter-regional Diplomacy Council (CIDC) at the CICC tower in Tropai, Schremoqueil Unional. Within hours, talks broke down and the Gamians established intentions to invade if their demands could not be met. Following Colanexian refusal to abide, the Gamian forces opened fire, slaughtering much of the Council. After chasing the Gamians from the CICC and observation their orbital armada near Colanexian space, it was unanimously agreed by the CICC that armed conflict would be the only way to resist Gamian aggression.

Early Developments (1971, 1972)
Within weeks, Gamian forces began laying siege to the north, pushing to near Tropai as well as into Kalubio. The most well-known of these incidents was the massacre of the village of Vagã-Demuts. Dozens of civilians were killed, including nearly all of the Rodenski family (save Joseph Reece Rodenski and his brother Allan; though Allan was presumed dead until 1974). Following the incident, Kalubian Führer Kamaru Luvvar would instantiate the Defensive Qualification Act (DQA) which conscripted all able-bodied Kalubians who were above the age of seven years and not "otherwise committed," such as parents of families or essential workers such as doctors or public servants. Over half of the population was enlisted following the enactment of the DQA, to regionwide outrage.

In 1972, Tropai would fall to Gamian invaders led by Gamian commander Napo D'puy. A massacre of Schrema schoolchildren would be broadcast worldwide in an attempt to destroy Colanexian morale. Rather, it would further fuel the planet's rage, and military efforts would only increase. Reports of excessive brutalities against Gamian soldiers would drastically increase around this time.

Extended War (1972-1974)
As the war dragged on, colonization efforts from the Gamians began to devolve into genocides. Resources and morale dwindled for both sides, who were growing more and more desperate. Gamians began defecting, especially those formerly under the command of Napo D'puy.

As more alien races that had endured Gamian hostilities became involved, pressure began increasing against the Gamian Empire. During these events, representatives to the alien Vfeldnseim would also have their calls for reinforcement answered.

Operation Territory
On January 8th, 1974 GHC, a gargantuan counterattack to reclaim Tropai and Khainawok was carried out by unified Colanexian and Vfeldnese armies. Both Gamian strongholds were attacked simultaneously in an effort to subdue or eliminate as much of Gamian high command as possible while they were still present. Their orbital fleets were eviscerated by the Vfeldnese battleships, who had been informed of Gamian technology hy Colanexians.

The operation is considered the riskiest and deadliest military effort in the planet's history. Tens of millions were killed in the battle, which lasted less than the full day.

Upon capture of the Gamian Prince atop the CICC in Tropai, and with the deaths of most of their in-system command (including D'puy), the Gamians agreed to an unconditional surrender, ending the conflict.

Aftermath (1974)
Following the conclusion of armed hostilities, the Gamians were once again gathered at the CICC to discuss the terms. The Gamian race was permanently banished from the Azukhom (Blue-Sun) system, and were to dismantle their entire supply of radioactive disintegrator firearms. Additionally, they were ordered to have their homeworld of Gama occupied by Colanexians (with Vfeldnese assistance) and contribute 50% of acquired resources to Colanexian reconstruction efforts. Several surviving commanders of the Gamian militaries were also tried, convicted and executed for war crimes due to various atrocities committed over the course of the conflict.

Following the Gamian defeat, mass revolts occurred around the planet, against both the empire and the foreign occupants.

Kalubian frustrations with the Luvvar monarchy came to a head because of the DQA, resulting in the Kalubian Revolution in 1975, where the Luvvar family was exiled from Kalubio.
