On August 29, [[star_litty]] of Shadow was ambushed while mining in her [[Medium Freighter|medium freighter]], and the initial terms of surrender were issued by Orovika. They were as follows: To surrender a Shadow [[destroyer]] to Orovika, to return all Orovikan wrecks to Orovika, to stop attacking Orovikans immediately, and to remove Noix444 from Shadow leadership. Shadow refused, and the medium freighter was impounded.
 
On August 31, Orovika tried to hire FellOffBridge as a mercenary. Later that day, during combat, FellOffBridge demanded extra payment, or he would switch sides. Orovika refused and FellOffBridge went assist Shadow fighters in sinking two Orovikan [[Frigate|frigates]]. Orovika from then on used [[MaidPierce]] of Vega as a mercenary.
 
The largest battle of the war occurred on September 3 in Aret's orbit. The battle was an Orovikan victory after all of Shadow's ships were sunk and AdelieXY's frigate was rammed by gregolegomonkey's [[gunship]], preventing it from moving. This led to both ships sinking.

RentDueYesterday, following the Orovika-Shadow War, began attacking Imperial Nova and Orovika, leading to the creation of an informal Anti-Piracy alliance on September 29th.
 
Also September 29, Setra Maria left Orovika to become [[Cortesia Del Mar]].
 
Tensions continued escalating, primarily at the Arimfean station Fortitude. At the time, Arimfea had a no-fire rule at Fortitude, however, after diplomatic pressure and FellOffBridge abusing it, Vortexion changed the rule to prevent warships from entering on October 5.
 
On October 6th, MaidPierce sunk [[KR_Builder]] of Orovika in Regulus, followed by Vega creating an alliance with RentDueYesterday. Orovika called upon a stipulation created by the Alliance of Regulus to obligate other nations to join it against Vega. The [[Horizon Federation]] was rapidly created to replace the AR, with the United Federation of Planets (formerly UNSC), Sanctuary, Imperial Nova, Orovika and Arimfea joining its ranks.
 
For most of the war, the HF players were inexperienced with ship vs ship combat, and were inferior pilots compared to Vega. However, they possessed the advantage of numbers. HF began using <nowiki>''</nowiki>lagfleets<nowiki>''</nowiki>- huge fleets intended to lag the server, resulting in combat becoming impossible. This strategy was looked poorly upon by players, but continued to be utilized from late October to the eventual end of the war.
 
On December 6, as player counts dropped and the HF expanded to include Shadow and New Amcar, Vortexion proposed a cease fire. Either staff enforce a clean ceasefire with no benefits for both sides, or the HF and its members quit HE for "a healthy while".

The Amcar-Aether pact formed after the Ionian Conference on April 29.
