The Laconia-Sol Conflict was an undeclared war nicknamed the Short War. It was a brief but decisive armed engagement between the forces of sovereign humanity, represented by the Transport Union and the Earth-Mars Coalition, and those of the Laconian Empire. The Sol system's opposition forces were quickly overpowered and annihilated, leading to the subsequent military occupation of the system and its annexation by Laconia. This effectively led to the installation of Laconian rule over all of humanity.
