Ending the brutal Sand War, Obruum's war machine pushed forward to eclipse the Solstar Faction, taking control of the badly battered landscape. It was an uneasy time for the new nation; heat radiating from the coals of burned homes mirrored and fed the smoldering tensions between the conquerors and conquered. Just as Obruum's nationals were suffering nightly vandalism and Solstar's refugees threatened full riot, struggling under the boots of police and politicians - a nation from the West made a sobering declaration of war. Fearful of further losses to an already crippled land, the people of Solstar and Obruum reluctantly joined together to fight a common foe, their broken unity forming a wall they could only hope would hold against their new foe.
