Long War

The Long War is the term used colloquially by military remnant leaders to refer to the series of conflicts waged globally in the aftermath of Operation Eurysian Storm. Comprising the Heosian and Orian theatres of the present conflict, the Long War effectively served as a resumption of hostilities brought on by the first nuclear exchange. The Long War is particularly known for the protracted collapse of civilian society that took place during the extent of the conflict, partly as consequence of the first (1984) and second (1986) nuclear exchanges.

The decision to maintain hostilities was partly caused by the initial wave of confusion and communications disruptions that ensued in the immediate aftermath of Operation Eurysian Storm. This stance quickly became official, however, with the establishment of the military cantonments, and soon was enshrined by the present War Economy.
