Interstellar War is still very much a part of Charted Space.
- The Major Race powers collude to avoid conflict, but sometimes interstellar relations fray and war lays waste to great swathes of Charted Space.
Description (Specifications)
Most war in Charted Space is that of Interstellar Navies. The role now played by interstellar armies is a lesser one in support of the navies.
- Low-level conflicts often include grand wars, but in the high-level conflicts, there is no reason to take or hold a planet or star system unless the real estate is particularly valuable. It is far easier to scrub a planet and move on.
The great navies maneuver back and forth hoping for their opponents to be caught without fuel or logistics, or caught in a vulnerable location such as a gravity well. But, when it comes down to it, interstellar naval warfare is a battle of attrition with all of the other factors remaining minor in comparison. The great battleships slug it out and the winner remains the last starship standing.
Systemic-Planetary Conflict (Micro-scale)
He who controls space, controls the worlds of Charted Space. The mobility of gravcraft combined with battledress has transformed land battles. High tech battles range over continents, not isolated battlefields. Armies with naval support invariably defeat their opponents. Occasional upsets occur, but the overwhelming force of air support, artillery, and ortillery usually carries the day.
History & Background (Dossier)
Battles between the major race superpowers rock Charted Space. By mutual agreement, the great powers limit these destructive conflicts. Noone wants interstellar trade to be crippled and that's what war does: shut down the gravy train.
