The SmarT War of 2134 began in 2134, with a border dispute against the Entente-Coalition border. SmarT Co. Inc. Industries stationed one of its SmarT very-far-away HQs at the border, a strategic trade route junction (sort of like Rest Stop 15 back on Earth). The Coalition, pressured into action due to their nearby border fortifications, launched a chase against the the HQ in full knowledge that the HQ would continually be far away from the fleet. They had not counted on a SmarT Battle Cruiser dropping in. The ensuing battle resulted in the slaughter of the Coalition fleet and began the war.
