Earth and Servan War

''"One hell of a long war that was utterly pointless and could've been resolved peacefully, easily." - Garrett''

The Earth and Servan War occured during the Planetary Age. It was a war over the possession of Cambria between Earth and Serva. It lasted(in Servan years) from 2089 to 2098 TI. On Earth, it lasted from 2762 to 2777 AD. Most of the fighting was on Cambria itself but some spread to the home planets in the form of espionage.

Causes of the War
Cambria was recently discovered through the Enossi teleports. Serva was Imperialistic, and while Serva itself was a massive planet by comparison, it was now all claimed and owned by the Servan government. At the same time, Earth was desperate for another planet to live on, as their planet was now so heavily polluted and overpopulated that famines were common and some cities were forced to hand out gas masks.

That, however, was only the backstory of the war. Once the discovery went public, and reached Earth, it became clear that Serva should own the world since they had discovered it, and at first Earth agreed to this. One key aspect to remember, though, is that Earth was a democratic republic, and Serva was an Empire. Serva had already built on Cambria the moment it was discovered, albiet a research station. So Earth decided to play along, too, and built its own research station, knowing Serva wouldn't tell them any of their "findings".

News reached Serva, and the Queen was pissed. She sent a diplomat to negotiate a respectable leaving of the Earth scientists from "their land." Earth refused, stating "this is not YOUR land, it is mankind's land" The diplomat sent this message back to her majesty. Serva responded, "We are Servankind, not humankind." And this was true, but in all honesty, both races generally agreed that they were close enough to each other that they were, in essence, "mankind." Earth was appalled by this, declaring the Queen to be a selfish idiot. Insulting the Queen of Serva is, by all accounts, grounds for war.
