Fiction:War of Redemption

The War of Redemption was an important event in TIAF history. It was the deciding factor in the TIAF's survival.

Participating Factions
The TIAF and VFP decided to fight the war mainly in private, to avoid further divisions in the universe (TIAF) and to avoid being annihilated by the TIAF's allies (VFP).

TIAF's side
 * Tybusen Intergalactic Allied Federation
 * Delpha Coalition of Planets
 * United Republic of Cyrannus
 * Fordanta
 * Girdo Empire

VFP's side
 * Vespan Federation of Planets
 * Tokzhalan Empire
 * Confederacy of Allied Systems

Pre-war Times
The TIAF and VFP knew that this war would eventually come. The TIAF had barely managed to escape the VFP's grasp after the TIAF Civil War and had fled to the safety of the Milky Way Galaxy. This would be the Redemption Era of the TIAF, and the VFP's short-lived Golden Age. VFP forces had tried repeatedly to break the Star Bridge Blockade, but they failed. All the while, the TIAF grew stronger, rebuilding until the fateful day when either attacked first.

The TIAF had almost all of the advantages. They had managed to deny VFP access of the TIAF's defense systems, and Admiral Kaios of the Fordanta had managed to disable any VFP defenses. Also, the TIAF knew their homelands inside out, while the VFP would have no knowledge of the TIAF's Delpha Territories. The VFP's only advantage was a higher industrial and military capacity, but this was offset by the TIAF's technology, decades more advanced than the VFP's. Help from the Tokzhalan seemed to erase this disadvantage to the VFP, but rapid Girdo help to the TIAF restored it.

Now, the two armies remain ready, waiting for the casus belli...
