"Belt Wars (Crose)"@en . . "As early as the 2090s, the Belters felt a need to expand outward into the galaxy on their own as opposed to joining along with the GOC.

The war was declared in June 2248."@en . "As early as the 2090s, the Belters felt a need to expand outward into the galaxy on their own as opposed to joining along with the GOC.
