The '''Auroran Imperial War''', also known as the '''AIW''' was a continental war that lasted from 1970 to 1975. It involved the vast majority of the countries of [[Aurora]]{{emdash}}forming two opposing military alliances: the Bursil Accords and the Rivendale Pact. The continent was in a state of total war, directly involving more than 45 million personnel from six countries, all participants threw their entire industrial, scientific and economic capabilities behind the war effort, voiding any distinction between civilian and military resources. The Auroran Imperial War was the deadliest conflict on the Auroran continent, resulting in over 29 million fatalities, with more civilian than military personnel killed. Millions of people died as a result of premeditated starvation, disease and massacres. Aircraft played a large role, particularly the strategic bombing campaigns of major conurbations such as Sani Bursil, Rivendale and Andel. The war ended shortly after the Kevatuul nuclear bombings of Rivendale, Karinthus, Glitzernd and Rorikton. |
