Overview

The continent's own "World War 2." Fought 1940-1945, sparked by the Republics of Waon seizing the Isle of Trade as a stepping stone toward the Shapas Desert's resources.

• Instigator: The Republics of Waon (far west, across the Great River).
• Defender: The Empire — ostensible security guarantor of the Shapas Desert, but caught with no sizable force actually stationed there; nations around the Shapas held the line until Imperial reinforcements arrived.
• Key supplier: Jonesboro/LMT — supplied the Empire with updated bombers, armored vehicles, and radios throughout the war.
• Outcome: the Empire, nearing defeat by 1944, drops three atomic weapons on Republics of Waon cities in 1945 — bombs built from designs provided by Jonesboro. The Republics surrender and are disarmed. This is the origin of atomic weapons on Maf.
