The War of Sol (also called the Alliance-Coalition War) was the name of a war in the Sol System that lasted for almost a century and ended with the unfortunte destruction of the entire system by the Nomads. To this day, no one knows who or what caused this war, although there is a possibility that the war was to gain control over the colonies of Sol. All that is known is that there were two sides: the Alliance (led by the USA, Western Europe, and Japan) and the Coalition (led by Russia, China, and the Middle East).
The exact date of the war's beginning is unknown, but it must have occurred sometime in the early 22nd century (early 2100s) since the launch of the sleeper ships was in the 23rd century, which was stated to be almost a century after the start of the war. The Alliance tried to settle the conflict peacefully and in 2160, about 50-60 years since the start of the war, they succeeded by signing the Bohlman Treaty. However, when the Coalition admiral arrived near Jupiter's moon, Europa, to "sign" the treaty, it was realized that the Coalition were not going to end this peacefully. Instead, as the Alliance fleets were standing down after hearing news of the treaty, the Coalition admiral order a huge fleet to de-cloak next to Europa. Afterwards, the fleet attacked and utterly dsetroyed the French and Italian fleets and the Alliance base named Fort Kennedy located on Europa. The inner planets, including Earth, were overrun by Coalition forces and taken under their control and all who resisted were brutally executed, instead of being taken prisoner. All hope for ending the war peacefully was destroyed by this betrayal, which was also the turning point of the War of Sol and afterwards, the Alliance faced huge military losses since two of their major fleets were destroyed completely.
In desperation, the Alliance constructed and launched five sleeper ships in order to begin a new civilization far from the war and strife that had befallen Sol. Each sleeper ship was christened after its patron nation: the Bretonia (carrying British colonists), the Rheinland (carrying German colonists), the Hispania (carrying Spanish and Mediterranean colonists), the Kusari (carrying Japanese colonists), and the Liberty (carrying American colonists). On the day of the launch, the Coalition attacked another one of Jupiter's moons, but against all odds, the colony ships broke through the Coalition blockade and headed for the Sirius System.
Shortly after the Exodus, the remaining Alliance bases were overrun until all that remained was Pluto, where the Alliance prepared for one gallant last stand against the Coalition. However, as the Allaince ships took off from the planet, a Nomad superweapon de-cloaked in front of them. In those few moments, all the fighting stopped and the soldiers just stood the dumfounded by the alien ship's size and beauty. In those few moments, they were finally united, but those few moments would be their last, since those aliens had not come in peace. The Nomad superweapon fired a torpedo at the Sun and fled. The torpedo collided with the Sun, causing a supernova (which is strange, since a star with the mass of the Sun should not be able to cause supernova, which means that the Nomad torpedo must have affected the Sun somehow) and the resulting shockwave disintigrated all but one planet in the Sol System. Everything else, including the Alliance and Coalition fleets, were destroyed. Only one man survived on the dark side of Pluto. His name was Atticus Rockford, an Alliance (possibly American) general who fled the ruins on Pluto and headed for Sirius to warn the colonists. His ship is seen landing on Planet Manhattan, but his fate afterwards is unknown.
