The 168 Day War was one of the many conflicts between the Rose and Syndisphere blocs. The war itself never brought the same decisive victory as seen in the Silent War, however, it is notable in that Alpha makes its debut on the world stage. Arising from the war is the formation of Sparta as an upper tier alliance sided with Alpha, and the grudge between the Syndicate and Alpha over treaty clauses and obligations.
On April 16th, Seabasstion, then the leader of Sparta, staged an intricate military drill which faked a combat scenario with Terminus Est. This involved a number of Sparta's allies, including the dominant upper tier alliance Alpha. The military drill, along with the subsequent demilitarization following the announcement of Terminus Est on the military drill, placed Alpha and her allies in a position of unpreparedness when it was clear the Syndisphere took advantage of the situation to mobilize military and settle the grudge of the 168 Day War.
*It is now worth noting that Seabasstion, the former leader of Sparta, steps down and leaves to join Guardian.
On April 22nd, Terminus Est and the Syndicate launch an attack on Alpha. On April 23rd, in light of the rapid demobilization from the staged drill, Alpha declares it will not ask allies to join the fight. On April 26th, with minimal losses, Terminus Est leaves the conflict.
The consequences of Steve's War is most reflective in hindsight: Terminus Est quickly disposes the majority of Alpha's conventional military troops and withdraws from the conflict to avoid further losses from Alpha's nuclear stockpile, leaving The Syndicate and Alpha to incur losses of their own.
