5282AD–5290AD. A conflict in the Nist Cluster during the Early War period of the Scybrian Wars.

Description / Specifications

A full-scale military intervention by Scybrian Polyarchy forces in the Nist cluster in response to increased interference in the Haden Insurgency, tensions over trade rights, and a rise in organised pirate activity. The Nist War was the second major conflict of the Scybrian Wars.

History & Background

The worlds of the Afkhar Cluster and the Nist Cluster were historically close, with a mutual language and shared heritage: the two regions had joined together as the Grand Ascendency before the arrival of the Voyagers and the onset of the Dark Age. Following the Renaissance, Scybrian Settlement focused on the Nist Cluster, politically and socially grooming its worlds. The two Clusters formally joined as the Scybrian Polyarchy in 5200AD.

Not all of the citizens of the Nist Cluster, however, were happy to be members of the new Polity and rebellions broke out across the rimward parts of the Polyarchy. The Corolian Jurisdicture moved to guarantee the independence of the Cluster, supplying military materials and “advisers” to the anti-Scybrian forces.

By the late 5280s Scybrian and Corolian forces were increasingly coming into direct contact and soon a general war was in effect between the two states. The conflict was largely one of skirmishes and small-scale engagements, though in the closing years of the war there were a number of large fleet actions. In 5290AD the Polyarchy had quelled much of the unrest and began to move units to front-line duties. The Corolian Jurisdicture, struggling to get its economy onto a war footing, agreed to an armistice.
