Background

Causes of Current Novan War

The official instigation for the Novan war began with the Novan response to an combined advanced scout ship of Tarquin and Terran origin into undeclared Novan territory. The Novan Military response was overwhelming, leading to an initial loss of three Terran star systems, totalling twelve colonized worlds.
