On the quiet Sunday of June 22th, a forum post from the alliance Test Alliance Please Ignore would set the fate of many in motion. Titled ‘The Die is Cast’, co-alliance executor Vily of Spartan Vanguard, announced the breaking of the non-aggression pact or NIP between Legacy Coalition and The Imperium would formally end on July 5th. Since then, the propaganda has spilled forth and slights against the other resurfaced as accusations have flown from both sides. Here is the recap of the war from both sides each day.
