Cothran-Solar War

Overview
The Cothran-Solar War was a deadly conflict that lasted around 4 hours between Cothran and the entire system.

Do note that, this is a recreation of the events that transpired on 2/21/2022. This is also from my point of view.

The Kathara-Cothran War
Not much is known during this time as I joined in very late into the fight. When I first joined in, I noticed that Kathara was no longer playable. I suspect that Kathara was the first to succumb to Cothran's Might, and that they massacred all of Kathara.

The Havalu-Cothran Confrontation
"When I first arrived, I sat down at one of the ledge's. I looked up to the city ahead, gazing upon it's tall skyscrapers and the waters that surround it. The ships sailed, and the trees bloomed. It was peaceful, calm, and elegant. Then, a bright white light flashed before my eyes. The trees that were near were tilted so violently and their leaves were burnt. The city that I gazed upon was consumed in a massive fireball that stretched even wider with every passing minute. All of the skyscrapers, gone, in just a few seconds."

The first attack Cothran made was the detonation of a tactical nuke in the heart of Havalu's city. Completely destroying the infrastructure, and crippled Havalu's economy. Following this, was a massive invasion force consisting of Light and Heavy Corvettes and I believe an Interceptor. Havalu, at this time, were being aided by Foroth with additional aerial reinforcements. They soon kicked back the invasion force. After a while, Havalu managed to rebuild. Even though a nuclear weapon annihilated their entire economy and their infrastructure, it did not completely annihilate their morale.

Soon after, a second invasion was in effect, destroying Havalu's efforts of rebuilding. But was quickly repelled with the forces of Foroth.

After this, the attacks began to settle and Havalu had time to rebuild their lost city with the help of Foroth, of course. They thought that they were in the clear, but it was only just the beginning of the many skirmishes ahead.

Then, without warning, the third invasion began. This time much deadlier than the last ones. The efforts of rebelling were futile and Havalu had to leave their home world to find another. And soon, with force, Havalu fell into the hands of Cothran. Oh and also, Javion was there too. Not sure what they were doing, probably wanted Havalu for themselves.

What was left of Havalu's forces fled to Hades. They cower in fear, knowing that Cothran would find them there. Others, however, fled to Javion and Foroth.

The Invasion of Foroth
I don't really know the exact detail of what happened, but Foroth was occupied by Cothran I guess. Not sure what really happened.

The Siege of Javion
After the Invasion of both Foroth and Havalu, Javion was the only surviving faction. All of the Javion forces were all settled in Aetheria, reasons unknown. Since Javion was distracted doing whatever they're doing in Aetheria, Cothran took this advantage to conquer Javion. Javion at that time was completely vulnerable and not that heavily defended, They took Javion with ease. The only remaining Javion bastion was Aetheria. Aetheria managed to repel any skirmishes Cothran threw at it. Javion was at their last legs. The attacks began to grew even larger and larger. The situation looked dire. Javion forces were exhausted by the constant skirmishes Cothran has made. Their RU capacity began to dwindle. Javion was at their last legs. Then, by some miracle,

Foroth Rebelled

With the blink of an eye, Foroth randomly rebelled. Don't know how, don't know why, but I can surely tell you that a certain jack had something to do with it. Without hesitation Javion immediately sent an alliance request. Foroth accept. The two began to drew plans on taking back their holy land. The two began to prepare by constructing ships and spacecrafts. They both began to rally to Javion.

While this was happening, Cothran weirdly took no notice of this. From what I can tell, they were no resistance from them. Though I did see corvettes scrambling left and right, they never really attacked or engaged.

But no matter, because that day, was the day, that Cothran will pay.

The Liberation of Javion
"Suck on that ya green scum!"

The Javion and Foroth forces rallied to Javion's orbit. As they enter Javion's atmosphere they expect heavy resistance. But, it seems that Cothran did not properly defend Javion. In just 20 seconds, Javion was retaken. Pretty lame, right? Anyways, Javion quickly fortify their homeland. Amidst the rebuilding, Cothran arrived with heavy ordnance. Sadly they were destroyed immediately. Javion, alongside Foroth, celebrated this small victory.

Unfortunately, Aetheria was then conquered by Cothran. But it didn't matter to Javion as they already took t heir homeland back.

Javion and Foroth were currently in a dilemma. They plan on what to retake next. Some suggested to scout out their resource cache and try to cripple their economy. Some, however, suggested to take Havalu. Then it was decided that someone will go for their resource and others go for Havalu.

The Situation on Havalu
The situation on Havalu wasn't looking smooth. Javion launched a fighting force to Havalu and succeeded. A few minutes, Cothran took it again. and it was on repeat for 20 minutes.

One Javion player decided to go alone and retake Havalu. He was met by a Light Corvette, piloted by a Cothran player with the highest score. This particular player managed to distract and troll this other player to the point that the guy ragequitted. And with the leader (I guess) gone, Javion and Foroth might have a chance on to restoring the Cocoa System.

The Destruction of Avalos
With the leader/the one with the highest score of Cothran gone, Javion quickly set their eyes upon Avalos. Avalos, is a highly valuable asset of Cothran as it holds 4 wells and is also the source of their ever growing economy. Javion quickly sabotaged this, but things were starting slow. Soon, things began to escalate and without notice, Avalos was taken.

During this time, Aetheria was taken too (I believe). Soon after, Kathara and Minral was liberated. I really didn't got too much information on how they did it, but it did.

It seems that the tables have turned for Cothran. Cothran has lost many of it's planetary territories. It's time to take the fight to Cothran.

Cothran's Last Moments
Javion and Foroth discussed on how to swiftly end Cothran for good. It was decided that a tactical nuke dropped from orbit was chosen. The first station was built, but was off-center. Then a second station was built, but not long after it was destroyed. During this time, Cothran foolishly attacked Foroth. But Foroth kicked them back. The third station was then built, this time much higher. And then,...

The End

Editor's Notes and Bonus Lore
Now I know what you're thinking,

"Cons, what the heck is even that conclusion?"

Well, during the final moments, Cothran's players began to switch teams and left the game. The same goes to Javion. The game was beginning to get boring. Also Javion was beginning to turn into Cothran. Kathara recently rebelled and Javion immediately yeeted them out. Foroth feared that they were going to be next, naively declared war on Javion (Not very smart). Now regarding the nuke, I don't really know. Maybe they did dropped it or maybe they didn't, but to make this page a lot more interesting I'm just gonna say they did drop a nuke from orbit and Cothran got destroyed to bits.

There's a lesson to be learned here, that:

The more you rebel against your oppressors, the more you become the oppressors. Like that quote, "You either die a hero, or live to see yourself to become the villain."

So, that's the Cothran-Solar war. I know the ending is pretty anti-climatic but hey, we had fun.

Cons, signing out.
