Mystic:
There is always some private little war going on somewhere. Why else would they needs mercs and runners? 8)
bobo69:
True but the sixth world hasn't had a real war since the Euro wars/Islamic Jihad....before the Amazon-Aztlan war that is. (the Yucantan was a counterinsurgency operation btw, not a real war between two nations).
Mystic:
How do you classify that little American dust-up in the mid 2060's then?
bobo69:
Good question on that, you mean the intervention of the Salish Sidhe(and allies) on TsimTsimhan.
Actually, TsimTsimhan was in the throes of a civil war with the main government collapsed, so there is no formal gov. to declare war on. The Salish Sidhe just walked in and overran the place.
So technically its was a police action intervention/peacekeeping.
Nath:
In early May 2062, Tsimshian troops entered Salish-Shidhe territory. They reached the area of Okanagan Lake and Kelowna. After the battle of Revelstoke, the Salish-Shidhe pushed them back over their border. That's when a biological weapon killed one thousands Salish soldiers/several thousands soldiers and civilians (depending on the source). A cease-fire started after, lasting until 2064. MCT military advisors and troops packed off the week before the crash. When one of the Winternight EMP bomb exploded over Kitimat, the Tsimshian government blamed the Salish-Shidhe and launched a new attack.
That's when the Haide National Front overthrew the Tsimshian government. Then the Sovereign Tribal Council decided to send a military force to Tsimshian. But the Sioux were leading the show, not the Salish-Shidhe.
