War between the first and second horizons

Military action

The First Horizon lays claim to the Second Horizon. War breaks out. TheEmpire’s initial fortunes soon turn.

Just as the Third Horizon was discovered and colonization of it began, hostilities broke out between the two older Horizons. The heart of the conflict was competition over natural resources and territory. The long and bitter war left dead stars, silent systems, burned-out planets and rock belts between the two Horizons in its wake. The war became permanent as the First Horizon began to focus on harnessing the power of the Dark between the Stars.
