Synopsis
Fifth Frontier War (1107 to 1110) between the Third Imperium and the Zhodani Consulate.
Description
Latest in the series of Frontier Wars between the Third Imperium and the Zhodani Consulate.
Following several years of unrest and provocation, Imperial sources claimed that Zhodani forces initiated hostilities and attacked across the Third Imperium's borders, while previously placed Zhodani guerrillas on selected Imperial worlds began uprisings. Vargr and Sword World forces allied with the Zhodani also participated in the hostilities.
The armistice, signed in 1110, resulted in the loss of no worlds to the hostiles and returned to the status quo.
