Year 1.
It all started when the Red Orchestra invaded Nuetral Madagascar. The fragile peace system of alliances and espionage broke down. From then on, it was war.
At first, there were no real sides to the conflict. While the Ecliptic Base in the Middle of the Old World (Ukraine/Middleast/Egypt) was flanked by well-defended neutrals, their franchised Drug Lords in Mexio and Venezuela picked a fight with the Khaki Kommand. The entire treasury paid to the Ecliptic Epicenter at Ark's Peak was awarded to them to settle the affair. The protectorates, the Californian Republic and the Texan Empire were overrun while carefully avoiding conflict with the nuetral nation of the Federated States. It was then that the offensive fell apart. Mounties staged a counter attack into the Dakotas and pushed southward, destroying many divisions. The Quebec Dominion tried to relieve pressure from the scattered forces of the Zetas but were pushed back.
The Ecliptic Command is considering taking full power over the Zetas Cartel.
