(175 to 191): Julian War
A war initiated by the Third Imperium, under Emperor Martin I, to annex the sectors of Meshan, Mendan, and Amdukan. The Imperium was unsuccessful in this goal.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
After nine years of negotiation and diplomatic maneuvering with the many confederations of the area (each typically a member of a larger confederation in turn), Martin mobilized the Imperial Navy against these states. As most of the region had been claimed by the First Imperium and in turn the Second, the goal (and political fiction) of the Warrant of Restoration provided a justification for attempted incorporation of these sectors.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
- In the first three years of the war, Imperial fleets pushed deep into Mendan Sector, capturing the capital world of Lasla and several important industrial worlds.
- In 178, however, a bureaucrat in the government of a nation in Amdukan Sector rose to power and gathered around himself an alliance of neighboring confederations. This bureaucrat then proposed a defensive confederation encompassing all three sectors under attack.
- This nascent super-state, the Julian Protectorate (named for its founder), fought sporadic battles, doing its best to push back the Imperial fleets. Then, in 185, concentrated Protectorate fleets crossed the Lesser Rift in an end run against Antares, and with deep raids against the Imperial Depots in Antares and Ley sectors. With two local depots destroyed, the Imperium withdrew its fleets to protect its internal communication lines. The Protectorate fleets then concentrated on the Antares Cluster, a lightly defended group of worlds, which fell easily to their advances. Using these worlds as a base, the forces of the Protectorate carried the war into the Imperium.
- In 190 the Imperium lost several battles in attempting to retake the Antares Cluster, and Martin I became convinced that the Protectorate could not be pressed into the Imperium, and so gave up the fight. However, the war did not end there, as the Protectorate insisted on keeping a hand in the Antares Cluster.
- The peace treaty included the establishment of the League of Antares as a compromise, ending the war in 191 on the Protectorate's terms.
