The Narik Wars [1] (Narik: Narik Kriegen; Darnus: Narik Kriege) were a series of ethno-political wars in the territory that is now the Imperial Commonwealth between the Narikatonite Empire and anti-Imperial Darnussian forces in various forms over the course of 108 years. If counted as a single conflict, it was the bloodiest war in human history, costing between 11 and 12 million lives. The war more than once threatened to plunge the whole of Terra into global warfare due to the complex alliance systems that developed at the time because of the conflict.
