Revision as of 19:13, 10 November 2009 by 64.12.117.7 (talk)

The Federated Suns-Chesterton Trade League Conflict was the Federated Suns' first war with another interstellar nation, which accured between 2318-2321].

Brief History of Conflict

The Muskegon Empire broke apart when the 6-world nation announced it was joining the Federated Suns. While the world of Muskegon joined the Federated Suns almost flawlessly, the worlds of Emerson and Beten Kaitos[1] chose to join the Chesterton Trade Federation. Those worlds had been ruled by the iron hand of the Achmeed family, and wanted nothing to do with their deal with the Davions. The Federated Suns demanded that Emerson and Beten Katos follow its leading world and join the FS. The two worlds ignored the Crucis Pact conference.

Federated Suns troops were soon marching over both worlds.[2] Which lead to the newly-formed Federated Sun's first interstellar conflict. The Tikonov Grand Union sided with Chesterton reinforcing them. Chesterton's forces easily rolled over the Federation Suns troops that went to occupy those worlds.

Due to President Lucien Davion poor military leadership & coordination, the conflict ended with Chesterton claiming both worlds after they changed hands several times in the course of the four year war.[3]

Notes

Muskegon's multi-national name is never fully given. There are references of being called the Muskegon Empire, and other times refering to it as Muskegon's Coalition. However, 'Empire' appears in both sourcebooks for the FedSun's history.
