Spartan Rebellion

The Spartan Rebellion was a conflict between the Spartan Navy (labeled as a terrorist force) against a Twelve Nation Alliance of the German Central Tradelands Squadron, BDS Naval Fleet, Valmar Confederacy,Whitecrest Sparrow Trading Company, Quills Trading Company, Royal Northern Guardians Navy, Nova Alliance, Kingdom of Karmon, Kraken Conquerors, Republic of Carnage, Kingdom of Livland, and Eggmay Times Security Force.

The conflict originated when the Spartan Navy broke off from the Republic of Carnage. The Kingdom of Karmon supported Carnage, and the localized war got little attention. However, peacekeeping operations by the German Central Tradelands Squadron sparked protest from the Spartan Navy, who had previously been attacking neutral Eggmay Times journalists. The German peacekeepers, along with other nations, prevented such incidents from occurring again, but the Spartan Navy saw it as "unprovoked aggression" and declared war on all nations of the Eggmay Times League.

Pretext to War
The Carnage-Spartan War had began as a civil war, when former Carnaginian officer Minotaur_Mike betrayed Carnage and created his splinter group, the Spartan Navy. The Kingdom of Karmon had too gotten involved on the side of Carnage. This war was special in that it was the first to see widespread coverage by the press, notably the Eggmay Times. This would spark controversy when the Spartan Navy reportedly attacked neutral journalists. In response, the German Central Tradelands Squadron organized peacekeeping operations to ensure the safety of all neutral parties. The Spartan Navy engaged in a campaign of slander, however wasn't expected to escalate the conflict. Despite this, just a day after the initiation of peacekeeping operations, the Spartan Navy declared war on all 12 nations of the Eggmay Times League.

Course of the War
While the war had begun in earnest for many other nations earlier, the squadron soon found it hard to get the Spartan Navy to fight due to their cowardice. Despite this, the squadron did manage to bait a Spartan force into one decisive engagement.

Battle of Southeast Blackwind
"Having intercepted a Spartan rally, the squadron chose to deploy a blockade ship, choosing to use SMS Helgoland. They destroyed two Spartan Stilettos, along with an Astraeus. They maintained their blockade for roughly an hour before another Spartan breakout attempt failed, at which the Germans withdrew, declaring victory."

Outcome of the War
The German Central Tradelands Squadron would not fight the war to it's conclusion, as with the March Schism diplomacy between the 12 Nation Alliance broke down, leaving only Karmon and Carnage to continue the fight as all the major powers no longer saw it worth their time.
