Foreword
The War for M110, also known as the "Regrettable War," is one of the few most controversial wars to speak of in the Xa'Thin public. As of 200000 CE, this conflict is regarded as an 'awakening point' in Xa'Thin history. This is probably because it exposed Xa'Thainity to a conflict hitherto unheard of at the time.
Chapter I: Tension
The description of the war, regarded by some Xa'Thins, is known to be "The Bloodshed War". The War for M110 is probably called that because of the unspeakable actions that Xa'Thin-kind both inflicted and endured from the Shazarak.
Cause
The cause for The War for M110 is sprawled around numerous theories. Though, the most popular one states that Then-Xa'Thins had a profound hatred for the Shazarak machines. Not only because they seemed lifeless, but also because of a rivalry that occurred, mainly because they were the biggest powers within M110, and space was getting low.
Keep in mind that the advanced wormhole drive that allowed for intergalactic travel hadn't reached M110 yet. So, these brutes were confined.
Beginnings
The beginning of the conflict consisted of many skirmishes, and small scale battles. Nothing of a high magnitude was ever carried out until the mid-wars. So, as a result, this part is very vague, and uneventful. The most eventful battle happened inside Xa'Thin borders, after an important trading hub got sacked, and all Xa'Thin ships in the area had some level of damage to it.
Yokiu
Yokiu was initially a Mars-Like world in an outer gas giant system. But, it had evidence of liquid water. After the breakthrough, Xa'Thin engineers decided to carry out a large-scale project, which would end up 'accidentally' terraforming Yokiu. The project consisted of a core igniter, and it re-fueled Yokiu's magnetic field. Bacteria given to Yokiu by Xa'Thins also spread around the surface like wildfire, and the suitable CO2 atmosphere at the time gave rise to a plethora of plants.
Since the terraforming procedure, Yokiu acted like a haven from all of the chaos. Even though it was in the old Shazarak border, it was routinely protected by the best ships and fleets, manufactured by Xa'Thainity. This would have caused crushing morale for the Shazarak, if they could feel emotion, that is.
Part II: The Mid Wars
At around September of 2238 CE, what is known as The Fiery War begun. This part of the War for M110 had sparked the embers, and pushed the inferno of attacks and territory. The Fiery War segment had started because of crushing fleets, comprising of countless ships, had pushed back from the Xa'Thin space, and had gone so far as to bombard Yokiu into a permanent winter.
After that, Xa'Thin morale had been crumbled. Nobody knew what to do, especially because the Shazarak fleets had comprised of Sapient Computers, knowing the best options to slide in and out of Xa'Thin systems. All Xa'Thin ships after were to be put on Extreme Mode. Labs were affected, too. Every single one had been pushed and forced to crate better technology, and weaponry against the Shazarak.
No Xa'Thin on Lokira could believe anything that was going on. Shazarak fleets would disintegrate any Xa'Thin ones, and numerous more would go missing after an emergency FTL jump. Only 2/10 returned alive...
All of this turmoil and chaos had ruptured the Xa'Thins minds, causing mass riots and divisions between the populous. Nothing in history had compared to this so far.
Until the Rhicksha came.
Chapter III: Rhicksha Involvement
At the war, the Rhicksha had been observing Xa'Thin and Shazarak actions at M110. At the time, they were Mid Type 3 Civ, which was more then the Xa'Thins. They owned some dwarf galaxies, and portions of Andromeda. Though, they were inferior in numbers. They only had 75 million soldiers, 2 million of which were deployed with Neutron rifles and Gamite armor. The Rhicksha, with multiple legs, had better mobility than the Xa'Thins. Not only that, they were like hunters, seeking any enemy they saw.
Some Rhicksha went as far as webbing them up. Which choked their core functions, and leaving them to die a cold death.
After the events of the Unit-7 Bombing, and countless protests for soldiers to join battle, they were up for the task of slaying any enemies they they would see. eventually, the Xa'Thins and the Rhicksha had pushed into Shazarak space, showing them horrors that not even a Human from 1945 CE could even think of.
The Uncover
The following event is labeled as "The Uncover". It is named that because of all of the secret files and terrors unfolded from the outer systems...
The Shazarak were amalgamating any organic life into their power grids.
The Amalgamtions
As Xa'Thin soldiers recall it, they would go in, and immediately go out either vomiting, or bawling in tears. They couldn't believe their eyes! All they saw were strange structures, which were then reported to be living creatures, being liquidated. Painfully, and slowly. Most soldiers heard groans and whispers. Others heard cries for help, which they knew they couldn't do. Once realized, Shazarak leader had put a large barrier to any "Amalgamated Worlds" to prevent any more knowledge of the horrors.
The only good thing out of The Uncover was that the Xa'Thins could develop tech with the amalgamating technology, which would punish any Shazarak war criminals.
Chapter IV: The Sweep
After the unfolding of the previous events, Xa'Thin and Rhicksha fleets were moved to surround Shazarak space. Though, in the end, the war wasn't even halfway complete. Still, they surrounded their systems and choked their supplies. This chapter includes some of the largest events in the war, and are remarkable within Xa'Thin history.
