The Azeban Conflict
The Azeban Conflict was a brief war that fought to expel the opposing sides from the system. It was a major loss on both sides, but the United Democratic States won the conflict. This result set the state of the galactic community today and founded the Assembly of Stars.
The Conflict
Prelude
It was claimed by United Alliance of Earth, but United Democratic States ignored their warnings and colonized Azeban belevieing the peaceful aspects of humanity would shine. They were wrong an a full scale war was declared against the Fexians. While the fexians won the system, there were massive repercussions as a result.
Deployment
Azeban was located in the northern portion of the system which held a small stationed fleet. The Interstellar Compact entered in from the west and made their way straight to planet. Fexian reinforcements would arrive a while after from the south east.
Battlefield
The system of Azeban consists of a single star, three gas giants, and the planet of Azeban.
The Engagement
The war lasted about two weeks long. When the Interstellar Compact's forces engaged the planet. The Compact forces took minor damage as the planet's defenses were not operational and the stationed fleet was not prepared for a massive attack. Azeban fell within the week without any loss to the infrastructure. Would be only a few days after the fexians would retaliate. They brought in about a equally sized force to push out the invaders. The Compact was ready and had been preparing for their attack. When the battle began neither side could gain any ground. However, this changed when a resistance force on the surface activated the dormant defense systems. The Compact's force began to take heavy losses, so they fled the system. The fexians won the decisive battle, but not the war. While they were concerned about this system, the Interstellar Compact took many key mining stations crippling their economy and ending the war.
Outcome
The United Democratic States lost a lot of their momentum to take the system and put them in check. It took a decade before they could return to their normal strength.
Aftermath
Azeban proves extensively useful for the UDS and in the end they had the better deal with what they lost and gained. However, this brought together the two opposing sides. UDS admired the Compact's military strength and ideals and the Compact saw the potential and ideals of the fexians.
Historical Significance
Legacy
This would be the defining event that lead to the foundation of the Assembly of Stars in order to avoid similar conflicts and unite people of similar ideals and values. While a tragedy it would save many more lives for years to come and strength all governments involved.
