The Ruznetsk War (Ruznetsk coming from the Slavnye word for 'Most Bloody') is an ongoing conflict between the War Machine and many of the class X civilisations of the Viperius Galaxy System.
Combatants
The first two combatants in this war, having begun the fight in 3.999(.698) AM, were the Slavnye and War Machine. The Slavnye committed all their fleets to the war soon after it began, and the War Machine turned a large proportion of its forces that way also.
The Irihil joined the conflict in 3.999(.760), followed shortly afterwards by the Sephirah. These two factions devoted large quantities of personnel to the fight, causing the War Machine to increase the proportion of its forces which were in this campaign.
After the formation of the Tatric Alliance in 3.999(.955), its forces began to mobilise to join the war, having tentatively allied with the Slavnye.
