Template:!War InfoboxThe War of Saiheran Succession, also known as the War of Thrones or the Twenty Millennium War, was a galactic-scale civil war lasting from 67,433 CE-84,808 CE. It is widely considered the most horrific war in the modern history of the galaxy and possibly the entire Local Universe. It resulted in the formation of one of the most powerful nations in the universe, the United Nations of the Flower Galaxy, as well as some rather large territorial changes for multiple nations and the complete dissolution of the Corroloa Empire.
Timeline
Initial Casus Belli
The war started after the murder of King Oram, when he failed to name a successor. No one has the faintest idea who did it, but it doesn't really matter anymore. Normally, failing an official naming of a successor, Saiheran Law states that the royal consort would be next in line, or failing that the firstborn of their children. Unfortunately, Queen Azal predeceased her husband, and her oldest four children were all quadruplets. (the three who came a few seconds after the first used this fact to rationalize their ignoring of the birth order clause)
After Oram's death, his four children immediately started fighting. The physically weakest but most popular of them, Princess Zelera, proposed a public election between the four heirs, but this was rejected by the other three because they knew perfectly well they would lose. The physically strongest, Prince Sais, proposed a fight to the death. This was also rejected for similar reasons. The most intelligent of them, Prince Karnak, proposed a battle of intelligence, which was again rejected. Finally, the most scheming of the four, Princess Kalea suggested that they try to send armies against each other, and whoever controlled the victorious army would win.
This idea was accepted as it seemed the most fair, but Kalea already had secret agreements with roughly 1/3 of the divisions of the Saiheran Army as well as the Trezhath Republic and Dominion of Khae. Some historians believe that this kind of planning indicates that Kalea either hired the assassin or committed the murder of King Oram herself. A savvy underling of Prince Karnak (who he was possibly having an affair with) was in the room at the time, and pointed this fact out to the other three heirs. They then hastily arranged alliances with the vast majority of the nations in the galaxy (notable exceptions being the Cnara-Frealee Federation, which spent the entire war trying to convince everyone to make peace, and the Pecay-Po Federation of Nalachi, which could not give a single damn about what happened to everyone else.)
