As for what yoi have been missing on the Conflicts?

In terms of actual writing, not much.

In terms of plans (that already lie in place)...well...much.

Many races of the UAE went to war with the Xonexi Allies around the back of the Alliance itself over the ex-Drakodomintus Territories in Mirus (aka Domintus Mirus), allying with the Zarbania Powers and (temporarily) the Imperium of War, to reach their goal.

The Coalition appeared to win, but then the Imperium stabbed the rest of the Coalition in the back and opened up a second front. It was unknown what the Mirusians would do, and many Xonexi believed they would now drag the full UAE into the war, which would turn the tide in favor of the Mirusians again. Neither did happen, but it gave the Hagamony an exellent excuse to show their true (Xonexi) colors and betray the UAE from the inside out, massacring many Olympiand and just about most Koatria with secret Darkling/War-Imperial aid. Hence the surviving Koatria are all collectively pissed right now.

The Imperium and the Xonexi continued to press the attack, the UAE did not enter the war and the Coalition lost in the end. As a result, the Xonexi forced them to sign for peace and join the Covenant of Mirus, which many races felt was imposed upon them by extragalactics to shackle them.

The Xonexi also tend to underestimate the importance of the UAE for Mirus and they have pretty much downplayed everything it did for the galaxy (no joke - the UAE isn't even mentioned in the Xonexi's analysis of Mirusian history on the ground that it was in a dreadlock with the Zarbanian Powers, Imperium of War and Alpha Cyber Collective - and thus unable to extert it's influence - balantly untrue as it was strong enough to keep these 3 at bay at times of peace and still do significant stuff). As the Alliance is sorta my brainchild that really stung when I first read it...but since we're in a healthy working relatioship with these guys and they are incapable of knowing everything we know and vice verse, I won't let that bother me *that much*.

Were was I? Ah yes, Covenant of Mirus. So the Xonexi seriously dowplay the significance of the UAE (I would beg to differ) and, I assume, see it is defunct? Anyhow, the goal of the Covenant is to build a United Mirusian Government and brng peace to the galaxy - Hey, that was the UAE's goal XD You can see where this goes. The Xonexi go around telling the natives the Covenant is the only true legitimate Galactic Government of Mirus -not the UAE- thus angering mant UAE menbers who band together with the Zarbanians to form the Triumvirate of Mirus. Ironically the Triumvirate is not headquartered in Mirus but in Tyris Mayor because it's embers think Mirus is too heaviliy watched by the Xonexi at the moment. So they proably work together with the Tyrisians a lot.

Back in Mirus, the Imperium of War is still advancing. They conquer the Coalition-held ex-Dominatus Mirus (creating the bizzare situation in which the Coalition cannot give back any part of ex-Domintus Mirus to the Xonexi Allies even though the peace treaty states they have to). As they are doing this, the Aeba Shuka (Crimsonfire's fiction) attacks the UAE with 9 Special Olympian groups provided by Caligustus, that unknown to them, are loyal to Darkling Brotherhood. They go to nearly eleminate the remaining UAE-loyal Olympians as well, then Caligusts gives the Signal and the Darkling-Corrupted Olympians turn on the Aeba Shuka as well, who retreat beyond the Red Veil where no one can reach them.

Then the Imperium of War invades the critically weakened UAE, as the Corrupted Olympians lick up with him. They quickly conquer Mirus Waptoria, then conquer the Federation, and finally the GMCS. The Mendel, Vanara and Zarbanians sucesfully fend off the attacks but are kept under seige.

Eventually (we yet have to find out how exactly - but it is with the non-native aid of a few other fictions that the Imperium pissed off in the past), the Imperium is beaten back, defeated, and dismembered.

So the Great Mirusian Conflicts end with the Imperium of War, the most destabilizing influence in all our fictions, gone, but not without a cost. Most Koatria and Olympians are dead and the UAE has been crippled to such an extend that the enormous powef vacuüm the Imperium has left cannot be filled by them. So of course the Xonexi fill it, actually legitimizing the Xonexi's claims about the UAE's weakness, and allowing them to truly impose the Covenant over Mirus. Aaand Gridlock is now in a position of trust amongst the Mirusians, while Zaraturai has vanished after being attacked by the Imperium on order of Grid's dad, allowing aforementioned father to further adavcnce his nefastious plans. Of course the Xonexi have had no dealing with the Darklings so they discast that all of this was part as a vast plan as nativist nonsense and generally ignore them while the natves are for the first time in ages powerless to do anything about it. Now the flag of the Xonexi Allies flows over the Mirus Galaxy, but while the Allies enjoy a golden age, Mirus has become shrouded in darkness. The Imperium of War is gone, but their masters, the Brotherhood of Darklings, are still out there. Finally, the galaxy in in their grasp, as is their birthright...
