Kazon Wars

In Progress

     The Earth had long since united, and reached out into the void of space to make it their own.  

     It was not like there was a shortage of planets to colonize, it was for honor.  We had -- in good faith -- settled Kryth the third planet of Altair, and were not about to give it up to the Kazons when they came knocking.

     The Kazons claimed Altair as a star within their jurisdiction, part of the settlement from an ancient war they had won, and they felt they had every right to ask us to leave.

     Well one thing lead to another, as they say, there were strong words, then a show of strength and a few lives were lost.  Threats were cast between the Kazons and United Earth Federation (UEF), then a show of force, and more lives were lost.  The situation quickly deteriorated, there were more skirmishes more often along outer border posts, and suddenly we were at war.
