1st Corporate War

Military: War

The First Corporate War was sparked by escalating tensions between megacorporations over the control of Jump Gate access, trade routes, and advanced Eldritch-infused technologies. The conflict was initiated when Act of God Armaments (AOG) accused rival corporations of espionage and sabotage, culminating in a devastating preemptive strike on StellarEx Corp's orbital refinery near Acheron Prime. This war saw corporations field private militaries and mercenary forces in a devastating interstellar struggle that disrupted trade, crippled infrastructure, and displaced millions.

Outcome: The war ended in a tenuous truce brokered by neutral corporations, most notably Nihiltech Corporation, which emerged as a mediator to stabilize the situation. The resulting peace agreement included the creation of heavily monitored trade accords and the establishment of "neutral zones" around key Jump Gates. However, the war left deep scars on intergalactic commerce, with devastated orbital habitats, ruined supply chains, and a significant loss of life among civilian populations.
