Wouldn't that be the Ancient-Shivan war?

Maybe the first known interstellar war in the FS universe, but since Humans didn't participate the TV war is still the first one for us, apart from the unification, but since it's all in one starsystem it's "just" a local war one could argue.
Besides you are there in the unification war in TVWP...

What if there had been countless races, stretching back into infinity... and like the nine cities of Troy, each civilization had been built on the rubble of the one that came before, each annihilated by the Shivans.

Where would you start?

Sometime a bit after the Big Bang. Then the first Shivan atoms nuke some other atoms.

"Refight the first interstellar war with terrans of FreeSpace"

"Re-fight the interstellar war between the Terrans and Vasudans."?

Haven't you guys anything better to argue about?

I thought this was a suggestion thread?

aRaven · **Reply #8 on:** January 18, 2009, 07:46:13 am

how about "refight the first interstellar war since sliced bread"?

That'd still be ASW then

I think...

The US Civil War is commonly referred to as the first "modern" war.

The "modern era" started after the end of the middle ages (Renaissance was "early modern").

Therefore the US Civil War could not be the first modern war because there were plenty of wars in the modern period before it.

You see how ridiculous semantics can become?

I have changed the forum description anyway.

(And I seem to remember someone getting all mad at the new description and posting about it in Hosted Support, but I can't find any such post. Maybe I imagined it...

)

Cue to facepalm?

The new forum description is . . . stylish. Extremely . . . unique.

It's a little known fact that the Ancient-Shivan "war" was in fact, a police action.

ShadowGorrath · **Reply #17 on:** January 21, 2009, 04:40:40 am

Riiiight. . . ASW didn't want to steal the title though.

No it wouldn't. The Ancients monologues suggest they fought and subjugated species before the Shivans. But the shivans were the only ones they ever retreated against.

And you had to dig thread after two years and two month to tell us that?
Talk about needing a long time to come up with an argument
