War of the Seven Stars

Overview
The War of the Seven Stars began in 277 when Urstil Gargarnix, leader of Sector GGX star systems, died. His seven children, all with empires built up around Sector GGX, began a long and bloody war for the title of Gargarnix Patriarch. The Gargarnix children tried for years to conquer each other's kingdoms, but, despite losing massive amounts of peasants and a few empires almost going bankrupt from mercenaries, none of the heirs were killed. However, in 279, after the 20 Days Conflict of Sector WS-809, the Gargarnix nobles, realizing the untapped potential of the UGA, bribed off some of the officers to intervene in the war (at a much lower relative cost than mercenaries). The advanced UGA ships ripped through the mercenary and militia vessels of the Gargarnix family. After two years, the only forces in the area was the UGA. After a few UGA vessels fired on one another, Furhall Gargarnix sensed that the war would be won by whoever could pay the UGA the most to unite to one side against the other nobles. Furhall, while wealthy, did not have a fraction of the money of Dunsar Gargarnix of the Hurg System. Knowing this, Furhall gave a massive bribe to Stephen Deadeye to launch WMDs on the Hurg System to try to force an end to the war. The plan was successful, as the other nobles paid massive tributes and ceded much land to secure peace in 281 after concentrated barrages caused Star Hurg to go supernovae and take out life in the entire Hurg System.
