End War

The End War was a cataclymic war that saw the mighty Babylonian state collapse after several weeks of nuclear and conventional warfare.

Prewar
The last years of 68 MC were defined by Babylonian supremacy. The nations of the world ate their food, bought their products, used their machines; living in a world made in their image. Affordable food, one of the stamples of the so called "age of summer", was only through advances in canning and the availability provided by the super state.

With the gold bust destroying billions worth of assets, the world became the most dependant on Babylon then ever before. Countless national currencies were simplified to less than twelve, and bankrupted industries were bought out; their markets being aquired by the ever growing Babylonian trade sphere.

Each of the Pentad had their reasons for declaring war on this superstate, each one reflecting the magnitude of the Babylonian powerbase. For the Imperials, the simple matter of dwindling treasures prompted action; their colonial goods being outsold by a fully mechanized economic enemy. The struggling Colonial possessions became burdoned by the unfair standards set by their rivials, and many small rebellions broke out. Faced with total collapse of their holdings, the Imperials realized that there was only one solution to Babylon.

The Centralist Confederacy, their revelation of digital computing, feared their groundbreaking invention would only be reverse engineered; and in turn outsell their own goods. Their inventigations into the beginnings of Babylonian compouting sciences revealed their work on a system of self-guided nuclear missiles, the beginnings of what defectors called "the cold world project." Unwilling to live in a world where a higher power, namely the sectarian Babylonians, could mandate the will of the people. Using their spy ring and superior electronic warfare programs, the Confederacy was able to disable the more advanced Babylonian air defence systems; seeing an end to the Cold World Project.

For the Dominium, commited allies to the Centralists at the time, the fear of an unequaled power overruled their l ucrative trade agreement with the Babylonial regime. More importantly, it was the ancient rivialry between greater Eidon that spurred their envolvement. Without the great state of Primoris, the artifex race could be the last man standing of the Alpha Kindom successors.
