War of Independent Nations

Summary
The War of Independent Nations was fought after the fall of Krayt's Empire. As Krayt strengthened his empire he drove many of the nations away from him. Those nations that pulled away from the Empire became Independent, eventually causing the downfall of Kraty's Empire. As Krayt's Empire fell to pieces the Independent nations began wars with each other. The official decleration of war by the nations was 135 ABY. The nations fought over many things, mostly trade, before each individual warlord finally declared war. These warlords raged a terrible war for 100 years before it finally came to an end.

Major Battles
There were many major battles that effected the war. These include: The Battle of Bantu, The Battle of Yavin 4, and the Battle of Corellia.

Battle of Bantu
The battle of Bantu, which took place in 220 ABY, was the battle that brought Mathandal to the warlord status. The independent nation of Corellia attacked Bantu, wanting its rich and fertile soil, in 220 ABY. A young general by the name of Mathandal led the attack against Corellia, driving them out within three standard months. The battle did have it side effects, tearing apart many of the trees of Bantu. When the battle was over Mathandal was named warlord of Bantu.

Battle of Yavin 4
The Battle of Yavin 4 was the first attack made by Warlord Mathandal. Mathandal had wanted Yavin 4 for the rich Force history that he had, because he had been studying in the Force for sometime. The battle totally destroyed the planet, wiping it from the galaxy, but more importantly opened Mathandal's eyes. It was then that the Treaty of Warlords was put into thought.

Battle of Corellia
This was the battle in which four warlords realized that Warlord Mathandal was the most powerfull. After defeating three armies with his one single army Mathandal was renound as the most powerful warlord. Mathandal had used his battle meditation to tip the scales, but found his new found glory to be a starting place for the peace that the galaxy needed. It was then, in 237 ABY that the four warlords teamed up and started the Treaty of Warlords.

End of the War
The war ended in 239 ABY with 90% of the independent nations signing the Treaty of Warlords. The second battle of Bantu was the final battle in the war. The war brought a new Empire, The Dark Empire, and the new Sith Academy on Coruscant.
