The Yazar Succession
Leading events to the war
Ever since the Formation Wars, which brought about general human liberation from alien factions, the Yazar system has been run by a tight-knit trade system. As the years progressed and nearby solar systems began to join the Galactic Antonian, based out of Vancoura, local trading seemed less productive vs the intergalactic trade.
​
Factions in the local government of the Yarrian senate were split over joining the G.A. Emmanuel Jarold, the leader of the largest trading enterprise of the Yazar system, strongly opposed joining Vancoura for fear it would destabilize illicit practices within his corporations that ultimately helped him bring maximum profit. The will of the senate was against Jarold's desires but by only a slim margin. Using his acquired wealth and slight popularity amongst the elite of the Yazar system, Emmanuel Jarold would form a movement aimed at sewing discontent with the G.A and dislodging the system out of the Antonionship.
​
On the first winter's month of the year 14,903 Ce, Jarold successfully became the planetary Magistrate in a narrow electoral victory. The second Torkas war had begun a few years ago, and due to the war, space routes were becoming harder to travel. As the Magistrate, Jarold would inflate the effects of this on the Yazar system. To better help his agenda, Jarold lobbied his allies in the Senate and purposely passed local policies to put pressure on his citizens. Censorship tunneled visioned the media. And soon, due to Jerold's policies shaping the political landscape, the only solution was to seek alternatives to the G.A.
Spark of war
Vancoura's response to the growing animosity was shrouded by the second Torkas War. The resources spent and the slow repair time of the intergalactic infrastructure only gave more tools for Magistrate Jarold to weave lies.
​
However, a solution was designed. A plan to construct planetary power plants capable of fueling whole worlds from a single facility. The fusion reactor-based plant would free resources on its' respective planet and be much more resilient to, Cyber and Physical attacks, and natural disasters. The Magistrate passed legislation through the senate to make the Yazar system one of the trial planets. Many questioned his motives due to his anti-Antonian stance. However, he later disclosed in a leaked document that it was due to extreme pressure from Vancoura. Officials on the capital planet of the Antonian were beginning to grow weary of Jarold and started to try and combat his claims through the media treating his ploys as purely political.
​
On the third month of spring in the year 14,931 Ce, a failure of the main turbine that fueled the generator of the planetary power plant caused a shutdown of 80% of the capital Peltov. Without hesitation, the state-run media of the Yazar Republic perpetrated the accident as a deliberate shutdown due to his administration's stance towards the Galactic Antonian. Panic and anger drove the population of the capital city, Tsarix, to riot. The crowds were further incited by the local national guard to attack the power plant's personnel and the Antonian Federal Garrison. Silo #8 exploded due to a spark caused by laser fire killing the majority of those present inside the main reactor chamber and damaging the city's power permanently until other substations would be reactivated..
The Planetary Magistrate Jarold put fully the blame on the G.A as "instigators of the violence in the spring of '931." The Yarrian assembly representatives in Vancoura protested by refusing to enter the chamber in an attempt to halt any hearings, but they were quickly put under house arrest due to treason.
​
In the first month of summer in the same year, 14,931 Ce, the Yazar system declared itself the "Dominant System" of the Antonian and the truly free world. In response, Vancoura deemed their method of separation unlawful and not in accordance with the charter the planetary Antonians signed and declared War.
Current state of the
war
Outmatched both on ground forces and spacecraft, the Yazar succession war started and is still currently heavily in the G.A's favor. The Yarrian Interstellar Defense massed itself for an offensive to reach the border of the Torkas Empire. Due to the surprising nature of this attack in space, it yielded modest results. However, the Antonian naval command in charge of the border sector was a successful carrier tactician. The Yarrian Interstellar Navy was successfully countered, and soon the G.A's main fleet surrounded the area from all sides. 3rd Dimensional warfare was on the side of the Antonian as they would proceed to attack both poles of the planet, and the sides, all at once constantly.
​
​
The land campaigns began after the successful neutralization of the Yarrian planetary defenses. The shields of the Yazar system were still operational. However, key areas were targeted and breached in the year of 14,933 Ce. Once a breach was established, the Antonians flooded the land masses of the Yarrian continents with combined armies of Interstellar navy, terrestrial naval forces, and army brigades. The eastern portions of the capital continent were targeted first. Then, other areas of the space shield were weakened from within allowing more and more staging areas for ground invasions. This did not come without a cost for the G.A. An estimated 510,000 soldiers had either been wounded or killed in action. The losses for the Yazar Republic were much higher but due to their stubbornness and reluctance to evacuate populated areas, the civilian casualty numbers were also climbing.
​
​
The largest battle currently taking place is the Siege of Tsarix, the Yarrian capital. After the successful advance that initially started on the continent that houses the Yazar capital, the front line in the west came to a standstill as the G.A focused on other areas of the war. Resuming in the spring of 14,938 Ce, naval and ground forces began to put pressure on the Yarrian defense. 89% of Tsarix is occupied by liberation forces, the other percent is still under Yazar Republic control.
Depicted above is the first stage of the Yazar Succession war, the Yozom Winter Offensive. It began at hour 22:48 Vancouran time and ended at the start of spring in the northern hemisphere of the Yazar system.

Yarrian War Crimes
In an already brutal conflict, disasters were perpetuated by the Yazar Republic in an attempt to stop a superior Antonian combined armed advance on all fronts. These disasters consisted of manufactured wide-scale humanitarian catastrophes. A common occurrence by retreating Y.P brigades was to pollute the landscape behind them. The targets of these acts against humanity involved the following.
1: Mass poisoning of wells, reservoirs, and natural habitats.
​
2: Turning infrastructure of large civilized areas into targets of war.
​
3: Execution of POWs and also the terrorizing of loyalists to the Antonian within the occupied territory of Yazar.
​
4: Targeting civilian targets in liberated Yarrian areas.
​
5: The prevention of life-saving aid being distributed to the civilian population in occupied areas.
​
6: Use of unconventional and inhumane weaponry that leaves most victims alive with permanent effects. Such weapons also affect a larger area of the targeted zone in the form of chemicals.
​
7: Containiminated supplies to the civilian population in liberated zones.
​
The G.A counter these acts with preemptive strikes behind enemy lines. Special forces brigades were formed just for this purpose with the aid of intel from satellites and drones to pinpoint the most important targets.
