History[edit | edit source]
Prelude[edit | edit source]
Noix444 Joins Shadow[edit | edit source]
- noix was generally disliked & had been pirating before this
- joined shadow, then proceeded to attack someone in orovika (who?)
- orovika initially just wanted to hunt noix & not the rest of shadow, but then shadow started supporting him militarily
Conflict[edit | edit source]
22 August Incident[edit | edit source]
- what was the incident that kicked this off?
First Attempt at Peace Negotiations[edit | edit source]
- cite the negotiations channel heavily here
Orovikan Anti-Piracy Doctrine[edit | edit source]
- cite gen's statement @ the bottom of the negotiations channel
- After aeon presented her extortion shakedown offer, orovika treated shadow as nothing more than pirates, and did unrestricted warfare
- less combat-skilled members of shadow at the time (ex. smolpotatolord, star_litty, astrobolt) were hard targeted
- maybe mention the diplomatic negotiations to get other nations off Orovika's back over this
- (Draft for this ^) After an attempt to end the conflict peacefully, The Shadow representatives claimed "we believe there is a huge misunderstanding. We are not surrendering to Orovika. On the contrary, most of us are thoroughly enjoying this war and believe we are doing quite well." "However, from what we have seen, based on Orovikan's words and actions, the Orovikan people and leadership are tired of this war and want it to end. Therefore, we present the following terms of Orovika's surrender: The war is to be considered over Orovika will not siege any of Shadow's stations lest the war reprise Each member of Orovika will, individually, be given the opportunity to purchase 7 days of immunity from being pirated by Shadow's Vanguard for the price of $15k on a weekly basis. The cost of 15k is per-person per-week. Once purchased immunity will last until the hour it was purchased 7 days from the starting date. - Ae0n" to which the Orovika's response was unanimous: "fuck no" - Oliveburger22 / CrystaAqua / Crossac / Gold
Mass Player Exodus from Shadow[edit | edit source]
- most members of shadow were very unhappy with the war & wanted out
- who all left in this time besides star? I remember that voidsentrose also left, right?
Final Peace Negotiations[edit | edit source]
- terms of surrender
- mention that the dd was so bad oro werent sure whether to accept it lmao
Aftermath[edit | edit source]
RentDueYesterday[edit | edit source]
- I forgot the specifics but their merc work was seen by orovika as them simply pretending to be mercs to fight orovika, especially because orovika tried to hire them multiple times and were turned away
- RDY kept being antagonistic towards orovika and attacking them after the war, even though they werent being paid
Radiance Revolution[edit | edit source]
- aeon's actions here were extremely unpopular among most of shadow's members
- aeon proceeded to go completely inactive, leaving star to rebuild the nation mostly from scratch
- this set up the radiance revolution the following year
