The Fringe Wars were a series of conflicts in Orion history. Less than a year after he seized power in March 21st, 1003 CE (reference stardate −10/0303.21), Emperor Boyor Ignatin the Righteous issued the Demand for Unity to all seceded and rebellious Orion Colonies. When that didn't work, he sent the Orion Space Navy to bring these worlds back under the control of the Botchok Planetary Congress, triggering the Fringe Wars.
