The First Lettomak War

The First Lettomak War, 2482-2486, is an interstellar conflict originally started at the planets of the Gamma Pavonis system with the rise of Harrsal as queen and the diminishment of the authority of the council of Percaak on the planet Cahlat during an election that had been rigged and contested. It spread to the whole alliance by the 2486 period and even involved the planets of the Sol system.

The autocratic council of the Lettomak take power over the Cahlat planet and the government, and then the space in orbit of the planet. By late 2482, the Dohtal are tired of the coup and try to break off from the war, as they had been forced into it.

The Caylaen and Hammaeriid battle is more of an accident than a battle, as the two ships are caught up in the conflict. The massive pole star vessel and the smaller but dangerous Hammaeriid end up headed toward Centaurus from there.

In 2483, the war reaches the Centauri system, where two alliance member worlds are based. The Litgraa chose the Lettomak side, while the Dargraii choose the Dohtal rebels, which does not go well with young queen Harrsal, who had come to the area.

Hammaeriid is captured, as was the Caylaen, and the Lettomak command staff told to serve the queen and go with them to Sol. This is because during the fight, Earth vessels interfere in their actions and this makes contact important.

The two ships arrive in the Sol system and discover an Earth that is not as advanced as they thought, and yet they are contacted. A rebel group kills one of the human leaders, and then another, to attempt to steal the alien ships, but they fail.

The Cohnirri ship under San Aaceeri and the Lettomak ship under Altisik are forced to return to the Gamma Pavonis system.

Then in 2486, the war returns to Sol space in a more impressive way, as the fledgling space forces fleets are called into action when the Caylaen reappears and is followed by fully armed Hammaeriid. Altisik has been ‘programmed’ to attack the fleet by a rebel faction from Vega, and is out to destroy the resistance. He fires on and destroys a base on Mars and another on Luna, and then on a base on the Earth. Also he damages several space fleet ships on his rampage.

Forces near Mars are able to infiltrate his massive ship and learn that he is unstable and that his major crew is not soldiers, so the crew makes it to the command level and takes the bridge. Altisik is killed.

The Dohtal main fleet is under the command of Purra and headed to Tau Ceti on the way to Sol, and presumably it will go on to the Cohnirri planets from there. They meet the Caylaen and the space forces at the planet Detgrumis before heading out of the system.

At Sol space, the enemy fleet attacks the space forces and there are several days of battle, ending with an eventual landing on the Earth where the landing ships are gunned down and destroyed. Tactically the humans are far advanced of the aliens.

In the end, the victory of the space forces elevates them to a greater status among Cohnirri and Lettomak alike, and they are allowed to keep the captured fleet for several years.

Although the humans are no longer involved in the close of the war, as it is fought elsewhere, their victory is noted. The war ends at some point in 2487 elsewhere. Presumably Harrsal defeats the rest of the Purra line and keeps the fleet around for a reminder.

The First Dargraii War

For the Litgraa this war started a long time ago, but went hot fast when the Lettomak conflict happened also, around 2486.

The Dargraii are aggressive cousins to the Litgraa who share their system, Centauri. They attack some of the Litgraa ships for no reason in that year, using he Kovt Erglal, Harbinger.  The war rages on for little over a decade.
