Lapdir Expansion war



Lapdir Expansion war‏‎

5012 OTT - 5038 OTT



The Kathk Oghr revolution against their King and nobility class in 5011 (OTT) and their expressed wish to join the Union. Disrupted and nullified many old alliances and created new friction points.

After a group of rebels stormed the palace, physically dethroned the king and declared a democracy to be formed,the many Kathk noble houses lost all support of the Kathk military. Several Kathk worlds applied independently for Union membership right away (to bypass the much longer PUMA process for the entire species)

This sudden loss of power and the inability to project and guarantee old alliances and pacts enticed the neighboring Lapdir to attack and invade planet Prokodd, a wealthy planet that technically once belonged to the Kakhk but had been given to the Laurins by a deal between the former King of Kakth and the King of Laurin.

Non aggressionn pacts between the Or-ghe, the Kakth, the Laurins and the Lapdir also became null and void with the fall of the Kakth monarchy..

The Kakth had been a buffer zone and a stabilizing factor between the age old feud of Lapdir and Laurins.

Open hostilities between Lapdir and Laurins commence in 5012 with the large scale invasion by Lapdir forces of planet Prokodd, followed almost immediatelyy by the Polktor massacre.. (also see Surinam Scandal ).

Lapdir forces attack a Kakth convoy near Lamrodd. Laurin forces also engage the Kakth forces. A Union Battle group on patrol in Kakth space responds and assists the Kakth. No other Union or Kakth forces are engaged after this battle for the entire duration of the Lapdir Expansion War.

The war ends in 5038 with a cease fire agreement between the Laurins and the Lapdir, after a costly battle for both sides at Multror system.

During the cease fire and peace negotiationss on planet Lurix, a fleet of Or-ghe ships attack and destroy the building where the conference is held.

Thus starting the Laurin-Lapdir vs Or-ghe war of 5038 - 5042
