Preceding the war, a former member of the Libertarian Socialist Federation went nuclear rogue and attacked members of Nueva Vida and Norden Verein. Despite the rogue not being a member of the LSF, NoV and NV decided it would be only right to demand ridiculous amounts of reparations from the LSF membership. They had also used a spy to capture screenshots of the Delegates Council topic on this issue, and had used it to claim that the LSF had "supported" and "encouraged" the rogue attacks, when in fact they were unaware of the seriousness of the would-be rogue.
