Great Offscreen War	comment	There was a war. It happened years ago, maybe even thousands of years. Characters reference it, especially if they took a part in it: the Shell-Shocked Veteran never managed to get over what he experienced back then, while the Phony Veteran, on the other hand, will never shut up about how many brave things he did in it. Sometimes people will use the war as a reference point for placing events on a timeline — something happened a few years before the war, or somebody did something after the war. Maybe people still have to deal with its consequences. The war happened, and it left its ugly mark on the world. But it's never shown to the audience — we never see a single flashback from the war, are never shown more than just a glimpse of what happened. The war will be referenced, but otherwise left mysterious, unexplained. Why it happened, how it ended, and what all the things that took place there (which people talk about like it should be obvious) actually were, are never explained. We may not even know the different factions involed in the fighting. The war is only a mysterious event of the past, included mostly to add a bit of mystery and give people excuses for insane ideas. Needless to say, this trope can easily be processed into Fanfic Fuel. World War III is often used as this, as are the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and so on. Stories set After the End have the tendency to do this with the war that caused the apocalypse. If the war never stopped, may be a Forever War. Often used as a sub-trope of Cryptic Background Reference. Compare also Cataclysm Backstory, and Unspecified Apocalypse for After the End-type scenarios that were not necessarily caused by war. For a fight that literally happens just offscreen, see Battle Discretion Shot. Please, avoid shows referencing Real Life conflicts. We already have plenty of information on them. If anything, such tales would go under During the War.

Great Offscreen War / int_11b7db91	comment	Adventure Time takes place a thousand years after "The Mushroom War", which pretty much destroyed all of humanity. The events aren't elaborated on for the first third of the series' run. It isn't until the episodes "Finn the Human" and "Jake the Dog" that we explicitly learn it was a nuclear conflict, and one of the bombs unleashed massive mutagenic (and magical) energies, and these energies either gave birth to the Lich or revived him in the then-modern world. A solid third of the planet was also blown up, with observers from space being able to see a giant gap that goes all the way down to the core. Also mentioned at one point is a war between rainicorns and dogs, which is never elaborated upon (beyond mention of Lady Rainicorn's father being saved by a dog at some point during it) but shown as a cause for great strife between the species.

Great Offscreen War / int_11fd7982	comment	A recurring element in the Metroid Prime Trilogy: The backstory of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes covers the 50-year war between the Luminoth and the Ing. By the time Samus Aran lands on Aether, the surviving Luminoth are holed up in the Great Temple waiting for a miracle to beat back the Ing, and dead Luminoth are all over the place. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: At the start of the game, a Federation technician mentions that he hasn't seen "that many fighters scrambled since the Horus Rebellion". Bryyo's Reptilicus civilization tore itself apart with a civil war between the traditionalist Primals and the Science Lords, super geniuses who looked upon the Primals with disdain. This war also did serious damage to Bryyo. Bear in mind, this was before the Leviathan hit the planet. The player learns about this war from lore scans dotted around Bryyo. The War of Liberation on Wotan VII, which is mentioned in Ghor's backstory. As a result of the injuries he received in that conflict, he was rebuilt as a cyborg, with only 6% of his original body still intact.

Great Offscreen War / int_17bfcf60	comment	Homeworld had two: An unnamed war that ended with the ancient Hiigarans being banished to Kharak, which was entirely their fault: the Hiigaran Empire attacked the ancient Taiidan Empire unprovoked and with enough force to lead to Bentusi intervention and banishment of the entire surviving population using barely functioning prison barges. On Kharak, the Heresy Wars: two rival religious kiithid, Gaalsien and Siidim, had spent almost three centuries tearing apart Kharak and the Kharaki people. Eventually it got bad enough that Kiith Nabaal decided to leave their Hidden Elf Village and lend their advanced technology - steam engines and machine guns - to Soban, a warrior kiith born from constant abuse by the warring powers. The results were predictable, and both major powers faded into relative obscurity until the time of Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak.

Great Offscreen War / int_1858fe06	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) has the aptly named Great War between the Mobians and Overlanders (aka. the descendants of humanity). It was started when the Knight Templar Kodos killed two scouts from both sides and sent them to their respective sides, causing some seriously long-standing racial tensions to explode. It lasted for five years and ended when Dr. Robotnik (back when he was still called Kintobor) supposedly switched sides and gave the Mobians what they needed to drive back the Overlanders. Unfortunately, after the Mobians won, Robotnik promptly betrayed them too and overthrew the king with his badnik army. Many of the comic's older characters were in the war and there's still plenty of resentment and bigotry left over from the war. There's also the first year of the Second Robotnik War, which saw Dr. Eggman regain his power base and promptly retake Mobius after Sonic had been thought killed in battle (in reality, the exploding black hole sent him across the galaxy and he spent from his perspective several weeks having adventures through space to get back).

Great Offscreen War / int_18795f27	comment	A Thousand and One... Americas: In the twenty-fifth episode, a friendly Toltec courier tells Chris about a long, violent war between the factions led respectively by Mixcoatl (the first-ever chief of the Toltecs) and Chimalma (the goddess of fertility, and the overseer of life and death). The episode only shows a flashback of the last few moments of the way, when nearly everybody from both factions succumbed and only the two aforementioned generals stood up. The two decide to drop their weapons, and not only put a halt to the war but also married (unfortunately, Chimalma later succumed to a Death by Childbirth). The child conceived by them was a child who, upon growing up, defeated a Feathered Serpent that was attacking his homeland and then unified the two previously-conflicting factions, thus founding Tula. In the final episode, it is briefly narrated that the Aztecs were a proud warrior civilization, and engaged into a war against other people. They won, leading to their status as the most powerful and advance pre-Columbian civilization until the arrival of the Europeans (led by Christopher Columbus).

Great Offscreen War / int_1a567c4a	comment	AI War: Fleet Command: The war outside the galaxy, known semi-officially as the Extragalactic War in the sequel. Rather than being a past event, it's simply far away with almost entirely unknown but impossibly huge threats involved on one side, and the AI on the other. This war is the reason you aren't dead; it takes up so much of the AI's attention and industrial capacity that you, in comparison, are a speck Not Worth Killing. The goal of the game is to remove the local processors to rid your area of the galaxy from AI control, without raising enough hell that it decides it can spare the time and power to really murder you. And if things get too far out of control, stuff that is an actual valuable asset in this war rather than mere chaff is brought in; the low end is pure pain, the high end is a death sentence.

Great Offscreen War / int_1aacbbc9	comment	The Dragon Age series has several examples: Loghain of Dragon Age: Origins often mentions the Ferelden rebellion against Orlais. Vague references to the war between the Qunari and the Tevinter Imperium are also present. The First Blight lasted 192 years, the Second lasted 90 years: the Third and Fourth blight were comparatively smaller and lasted only 15 and 12 years. At the beginning of Origins, Duncan is desperately trying to increase the ranks of the Fereldan Grey Wardens in order to avoid another Blight lasting years or even generations. Dragon Age II confirms that the Fifth Blight, which is the setting of Origins, lasted a full year, which is comparatively amazing. The plot of Dragon Age II is about what started the Mage-Templar War that has engulfed all of Thedas by 9:40 Dragon. Vague hints are all we actually know about the present in which the framing-device is set, whereas the game itself focuses on the life of Hawke from 9:30 - 9:37 Dragon and how the Champion came to unintentionally participate in the opening shots of the conflict. Thedas history is built on one enormous war after another. The titular Dragon Age was predicted to be a time of upheaval, but it's still got some catching up to do in terms of body count. The oldest known conflict, predating the First Blight and the Age system, is the elf empire vs the nascent Tevinter Imperium. The sheer loss of elf culture is still being felt centuries later. The novel The Stolen Throne describes the rebellion against the Orlesian occupation, although the final battle in which Loghain really proved himself as a general is not described (the future King Maric wasn't even present there, choosing instead to settle a personal score). Dragon Age: Inquisition reveals some important info about the war between the Elven empire and Tevinter - namely that the elves were already involved in a civil war. Far from the mighty conquerors their descendants imagine, Tevinter was kicking the elves when they were already down.

Great Offscreen War / int_1ad4fe9a	comment	Might and Magic and Heroes of Might and Magic (old verse): The Timber Wars between Erathia and AvLee over the Contested Lands. Some hero descriptions mentions them, they're a key part of the backstory for VII and one campaign in Heroes III... and the only one we get any real detail is canonically not a proper war (VII involves a renewed conflict over part of the Contested Lands, but the only things that are assured to happen in the conflict are skirmishes and manouevering for position, followed by peace negotiations. It can escalate into a full-scale war, but hints in later games implies that the path in which that occurs isn't the one that happened). The rebellions against the Colonial Government after the Silence (the loss of contact with the Ancients, the mother civilization). The Colonial Government ruling the planet had been strong before the Silence, but after their legitimacy was damaged and their resources strained, and with that came rebellions. Initially the Colonial Government,under Governor Padish, held on by pumping out weapons and armour using the miraculous Heavenly Forges, but without Ancient maintenance the Forges gradually began to break down, and the rebellions chipped away at the Government. Within a century it had collapsed... and that is what is known of the only known planet-spanning conflict in the history of Enroth.

Great Offscreen War / int_1c1ceec7	comment	Monster Hunter has the Great Dragon War where, an unknown amount of time ago, an advanced civilisation controlled the world at large, creating powerful weapons such as the Dragonator and towers that reached into the stratosphere, as well as genetically enhancing themselves, with their decendents who kept these enhancements being able to become Monster Hunters. The titular monsters were used a guards, livestock or slaves by this civilisation. This alone created hostilities between the humans and monsters, until the civilisation went to far and created the Equal Dragon Weapon, a living weapon made from butchering monsters and fusing parts together, requiring hundreds of monsters be killed to create just one Equal Dragon Weapon. This act drove the Elder Dragons to wage war against the civilisation, destroying their cities and creations across the world and driving humanity to near extinction. This justifies why the Hunters in the series are so intent of maintaining the natural order, the fantastical and futuristic weapons and locations found in the series, and also the reason Elder Dragons are so hostile.

Even many of the characters too young to have fought in it still remember the devastation. Before that, there was the First Pacific War, evidently waged between Europa Universalis and Imperial Japan approximately seventy years before the canon story, ended so poorly for the Japanese that the country was reformed into the Republic of Japan.

The first is the original war between Yhwach and Yamamoto that occurred a thousand years ago and led to the creation of the Quincy Clan and the Gotei 13. The second is the Shinigami's attempted purge of the Quincies 200 years ago. Both wars significantly impact the present-day Quincies and Shinigami, including anyone they associate with, be they human or hollow.

The Thousand Sons invasion of Fenris is mentioned as one of the things that pass by the Chancellor's desk without him being able to respond. In the latter half of the book, civil unrests and global riots pass most of the protagonists - trapped in the Imperial Palace - completely by. The second book's plot springs from Guilliman departing Terra to fight in the Indomitus Crusade.

Great Offscreen War / int_2192aeb3	comment	Most Fire Emblem games have this as a part of the backstory: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem have the first war between the Kingdom of Archanea and the dragon-ruled Dolhr Empire, where Marth's distant ancestor won fame for sealing the Earth Dragon Medeus away. Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade and Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade have a great war between humans and dragons, referred to as 'The Scouring', that occurred roughly 1,000 years before the events of the games. It ended with the humans supposedly killing off the dragons, though in actuality, the dragons, on the verge of defeat, exiled themselves through the Dragon's Gate to find a new home in another world, closing the portal behind them. The few dragon survivors that didn't make it to the Gate and were left behind in Elibe retreated to the Nabata Desert and founded the village of Arcadia. Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones details an ancient war against the Demon King, where the Five Heroes and the Manaketes defeated the demons, then went on to found the current kingdoms of Magvel (sans Carcino). Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn give us several offscreen wars of the past, the biggest being the ancient Order Versus Chaos war between Ashera and Yune, with various factions siding with either goddess. More recently, there was also a great revolt of Laguz to liberate themselves from Begnion slavery. Fire Emblem: Awakening has one occurring just one generation before the game, instigated by the actions of the Grimleal (a card-carrying Religion of Evil), leading to the previous exalt of Ylisse trying to exterminate them, only to fail as his nation got bogged down in a bloody war with the realm of Plegia as a whole. The second generation characters turn out to come from a war-torn future where the Grimleal caused a Zombie Apocalypse, forcing them to travel back in time after their parents all fell attempting to fight back against the Risen horde. Fire Emblem Fates has long had conflicts between the two main countries of Hoshido and Nohr, with the game's story being the latest war. Fire Emblem: Three Houses has easily the most war-torn setting in the entire franchise. The land of FÃ³dlan has suffered numerous foreign invasions throughout its almost 1,200 year history, and the continent's three countries have fought their fair share of wars against each other, and put down an even larger number of internal insurrections and rebellions. The most signficant is a war that occurred so far in the backstory none of the characters in the game were alive to witness it, not even the the most long-lived surviving Children of the Goddess. That would be the apocalyptic war between the technologically advanced Agarthans and the goddess Sothis, which sundered the continent, led to the destruction of Agartha, and possibly even the extinction and rebirth of humanity as a whole, as the Agarthan descendants in "those who slither in the dark" repeatedly refer to the humans living on the surface as creations of Sothis.

While an early expository cutscene shows a glimpse of the massacre that took place in Hyrule Castle Town and Link's last retrievable memory shows the moment he succumbed to his injuries while fighting the Guardians, the main evidence that the Calamity happened are the blasted ruins and decayed Guardians strewn about Hyrule. There's also the original battle between Hyrule's combined forces and Ganon 10,000 years prior, which is only depicted on a mural in Impa's home.

Only one character who lived through it will remark on his experiences, which are mainly tinged with sorrow that he now that it's over, his purpose as a dragon slayer is now finished as well. Briefly mentioned is the war against the demons of Lost Izalith. Where Gwyn personally led his knights to exterminate the Chaos Demons created by the Witch's attempt to recreate the First Flame. This war ended and failure, and all that's known is that the Black Knights came into being after the Flames of Chaos corrupted them and made their weapons more deadly to demons. The lore makes the occasional mention of an event called the "Occult Rebellion" where a group of humans or giants made war upon the gods of Anor Londo using forbidden weaponry that channeled Dark. The only name tied to this event was Havel The Rock, who was apparently exiled. The ember used to make the weapons was hidden in the Painted World and the entire conflict, as well as it's participants, was otherwise erased from history. Dark Souls II: The war against the Giants that took place some 100 years or so before the game begins. It apparently lasted over 120 years and, while Drangleic was ultimately victorious, the kingdom was utterly ravaged by the Giants' attack and never recovered. Dark Souls III: The reason for all those dead knights in Lothric? A civil war erupted between two religions in Lothric, one being the state religion of worshipping and kindling the First Flame, the other being centered around a woman named Gertrude and her "heretical" worship of the Angels (whoever they were).

Great Offscreen War / int_33dd1d90	comment	The Seven Hour War from Half-Life 2. It's the reason why the Combine control the planet: they defeated all of Earth's armed forces in just seven hours. Additional media expands upon the circumstances of the War: It wasn't so much that the Combine overpowered the full might of the world's militaries in a matter of seven hours, but that, ever since the Black Mesa Incident, the planet had been devastated by portal storms and the hostile extraterrestrial life that emerged from them. It was to the point that the planet was practically three steps away from total societal breakdown anyways, and the Combine just happened to come across Earth in the midst of all this. The Seven Hour War wasn't so much of a "decisive battle" as it was simply mopping up what little military resistance could be mustered in the middle of the massive global calamity. The true tragedy of the Seven Hour War isn't that Humanity's forces weren't defeated so decisively and trivially, but that Humanity lost the War before it even began.

Great Offscreen War / int_343830b9	comment	The Night Unfurls: The Forever War between Celestine Lucross and Olga Discordia. The readers understand why the war broke out and has lasted for centuries (the Fantastic Racism between humanity and dark elves), many Kuroinu-original characters have been either directly involved in or affected by said war one way or another (The Seven Shields, the Black Dogs, Olga, Grace, etc.), and the war itself is still ongoing by the beginning of the fanfic (though at its final stage, since Celestine's vision foretells its end as a result of Kyril's appearance). However, the readers do not see much of the actual war, and Kyril is more of an Outside-Context Problem instead of someone affected by the war, though he does contribute to its end. Several Original Characters, namely Kyril's four apprentices, were not even born at that period. Then again, the main focus of this story is the conflict against the traitorous Black Dogs, not Celestine and Olga's century-old war.

Great Offscreen War / int_35a060cc	comment	When watching Airplane!, they never make clear which war "The War" was for Ted Stryker, though judging by when the movie was made, one might assume Vietnam. As farcical as the entire movie is, it could very well have been some other war entirely though. Hell, it could be a war they (or Ted) completely made up as well. In one scene Ted starts having flashbacks which are represented by Stock Footage going farther and farther back, all the way through World War I biplanes and finally the Wright brothers test flight. "The War" in Zero Hour! (1957), the film on which Airplane! is based, and which came out a quarter of a century earlier, was obviously World War II. This time frame informs a lot of the gags and references in the latter film.

Great Offscreen War / int_35e05f2a	comment	RWBY mentions a few distant wars. Once upon a time, humans were driven to the brink of extinction by the Grimm. Humanity discovered the power of Dust and fought back, eventually gaining enough territory to build several kingdoms. Eighty years before the start of the series came the bloody conflict between kingdoms known simply as the Great War, which pitted an expansionist alliance of Mantle and Mistral against Vale, which was later joined by Vacuo. The conflict was touched off by settlers from both sides clashing during the Mantle/Mistral expansion, though nobody knows who shot first. The aftermath of the War had profound societal consequences for all of Remnant. The King of Vale, heavily implied to be an incarnation of Professor Ozpin, who had led the decisive Final Battle, spearheaded the creation of the Huntsman Academies, one for each kingdom, in order to train the future generations of humanity's protectors. Furthermore, as an act of defiance against Mantle and Mistral's suppression of the arts,NoteThe reasoning behind this was that the Creatures of Grimm are drawn to negative emotions, and therefore that suppressing emotional expression would decrease the likelihood of Grimm attacks. the tradition of Colorful Theme Naming got started. The Faunus were treated by humanity with no small amount of Fantastic Racism throughout history, resulting in at least one Faunus Rebellion, where Faunus night vision proved itself a decisive advantage. After the Great War, they were granted the small continent of Menagerie as their new homeland, ending open conflict (but not either the racism, or the festering resentment).

Hugo takes a break from telling his story to go into a very extensive and detailed history lesson on the Battle of Waterloo. He finally ties it into the main story at the very end of the battle by revealing a relationship between two characters that really could have been summarized in a sentence or two. ThÃ©nardier was looting the bodies and encountered Marius's Only Mostly Dead father, saving his life and thus causing Marius to initially believe that ThÃ©nardier is a war hero rather than a total scumbag.

Great Offscreen War / int_38907f28	comment	The Kharkanas Trilogy has a few: The story happens just a few years after the Forulkan War, which is often referenced but never explicitly shown. Almost all characters have in some way been influenced by it, be it through participating or losing a good chunk of their families to it, and the entire population of Kurald Galain has been decimated; some noble houses are almost gone. All that is shown for certain is that the Tiste won. Either parallel to or shortly after the Forulkan War, the war against the Jhelarkan happened, but even less is shown of that even though it must have happened recently enough that the Jhelarkan are still licking their wounds and have yet to deliver the promised hostages as of the start of the first volume. At the end of the second volume a far more ancient war is hinted at. It's supposed to have been scarily similar to the current civil war, hinting that history is repeating itself, but that's all that is said about it.

The Great War was sparked by a Succession Crisis, and lasted for about a century. It saw the creation of several nations who seceded from the original five nations of Galifar, and only ended when a mysterious catastrophe consumed the entire nation of Cyre, killing everything within its borders. The war doesn't have to be offscreen, and there are resources available for playing during the war, but the "present day" of the setting is two years after the war officially ended.

Great Offscreen War / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter series: The First Wizarding War against Voldemort. The Second Wizarding War zigzags with this trope. On one hand, the heroes do eventually get to battle the Death Eaters and their allies. On the other hand, it's pretty clear there are some incidents/battles that happen offscreen such as Voldemort's attack on Amelia Bones which results in the latter's death. This is because most of the books are taken from Harry's point of view. The majority of the seventh book has the trio mostly being on the run and Locked Out of the Loop from the wizarding world until they're able to hear from the radio news about various Death Eater-related attacks/incidents. The war against Gellert Grindelwald is even more obscure. All we know for sure is that it apparently took place around the same time as World War II. Word of God is that the timeframe and location of the war against Grindelwald are not a coincidence, but is vague on whether this was just a deliberate parallel to World War II by the author or an indication that they were actually the same war. Although this conflict would eventually become the central one of the prequel Fantastic Beasts film series. However, only two of five have been released so the details are still vague.

Great Offscreen War / int_44127c7c	comment	Power Rangers falls back on this one a lot, to the point where Epileptic Trees have grown due to some wars sharing the same rough dates. Some of these conflicts are original while others are carried over from the original Super Sentai counterparts: Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers had a great battle between Good and Evil 10,000 years ago. Zordon was with the good guys, Rita with the bad guys under the command of Zedd. The only other clue we have about it is the ending: According to some of the novelizations released around the time, the war ended in "a tie" and came down to a frikkin' coin toss to end the war. Zordon won, but Rita, being a sore loser, trapped Zordon in his Time Warp and stole the Dragon Coin before she and her minions were sealed away in the trashcan. Naturally, nothing like the books' 'coin toss' thing has ever been suggested onscreen. All we know is, Rita got canned, and that Zordon has used teenagers before (though none of Zordon's warriors in flashbacks looked like Rangers.) Power Rangers Lost Galaxy is so vague that we don't even know if there was one big event or just a bunch of isolated incidents. Either way, a lot of backstory happened 3,000 years ago, ending in the placement of 5 quasar sabers in stone on Mirinoi to be chosen to fight again in the future. Most of it in deep space, but if the Lights of Orion were found on Terra Venture, then they have to have been left on Earth when they were lost back in the day. Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue had Bansheera and company put in the can 5,000 years ago thanks to a powerful warlock who seemingly single handedly beat them all. Bansheera's entire motivation for attacking in the present is to destroy the city and reestablish her palace upon the demons' sacred ground, granting 'ultimate power.' The fact that she had it then meant she had to have been a lot worse than anything witnessed during the Lightspeed series. Power Rangers Wild Force/Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger had the war between the Animarian civilization and the Orgs 3,000 years ago. Power Rangers Ninja Storm introduced one of the generals this way; the warlord Shimazu terrorized the populace with his Wolfblades 2,000 years ago until he is sealed in a mask. Power Rangers Mystic Force saw a group of wizards seal away the forces of the underworld only twenty or so years prior (so somewhere in or around the 1980s). Interestingly, we know a lot about the end of this war thanks to it apparently being a very family affair. Power Rangers Jungle Fury had a war between man and beast 10,000 years ago. Surprisingly, four of the seven Old Masters that survived the war also survived to the present day. Averted in Power Rangers RPM, where we get a number of flashbacks to Venjix's conquest of Earth the year prior. Power Rangers Samurai/Samurai Sentai Shinkenger had the Nighlocks/Gedoushu sealed away by samurai in feudal Japan, and apparently a number of skirmishes between them and the samurai's descendants in the intervening years. Power Rangers even showed a flashback involving the current Rangers' parents running off to fight as Rangers themselves, which had to have taken place somewhere in the 90s alongside a previous Rangers series. Gloriously averted with the Great Legend War of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, though the evil Space Empire Zangyack are said to have had a long history conquering the universe before the invasion of Earth. Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger had the war where the Deboss wiped out the dinosaurs but were ultimately forced into hibernation, along with the two sides being in a cold war that heated up occasionally throughout history.

Great Offscreen War / int_467c89f7	comment	In Super Dimension Fortress Macross, the backstory tells of a massive war between the Zentradi and a group known as the Supervision Army. This also forms a big part of the plot in Macross 7, where we learn more about what the Supervision Army is and where it came from. The war is actually on-going, and has been for something like 20,000 years, with the Zentradi and Supervision Army having been almost exactly evenly matched from the start. Many Zentradi fleets are still actively engaged in battle against Supervision Army forces far outside of the Milky-Way galaxy, and are far too busy to take note of humanity's affairs. Fortunately for the humans, both groups seem to be largely fragmented, and haven't noticed humanity destroying/assimilating various Zentradi fleets as their civilization expands. The growing human-"cultured" Zentradi alliance commonly skirmish against both forces, but the New United Nations have yet to run afoul of another one of the larger armadas, and already have colonies spread across roughly a third of the Milky Way galaxy.

The latter may or may not be the same as the "big old wars" mentioned in "Troll Bridge", in which Cohen the Barbarian fought for a bright new future and the return of the king, and Mica the troll fought because a big troll with a whip told him to.

Great Offscreen War / int_46aac2a3	comment	A number of wars influenced the present-day state of affairs in Elden Ring: The Golden Order was not the first to govern the Lands Between, and was only established through multiple wars of conquest. In particular, the hard-fought victory against the giants of the mountains saw that race completely wiped out. While we don't hear much about it, there was certainly a conflict between The Golden Order (Marika's followers) and the enigmatic Godskin Cult (A group of skin wearing heretics bent on killing the gods). It ended with the death of the cult's leader, the Gloam-Eyed Queen and the Rune of Death being taken by Maliketh. In the modern day, Godskins are few and far between, mostly hidden in weird areas that aren't particularly fond of the Erdtree. A war between Marika's Empire and the dragons of Farum Azula began when Gransax breached the walls of Leyndell for the first and only time in history. Godwyn the Golden ended the war when he bested and befriended the dragon champion Fortissax and integrated the dragons into the Golden Order. Radagon invaded Liurnia twice on Marika's behalf. He was turned back the first time by the forces of Queen Rennala, and the second was resolved when the two of them married. The most recent and devastating was the Shattering. When the Elden Ring was shattered and both Queen Marika and Elden Lord Radagon disappeared, their demigod children each claimed a fragmentary Great Rune and started fighting one another. In particular: Leyndell was besieged twice; Morgott sent an army to destroy Rykard's forces in a gruesome mass-Mutual Kill; the scholars of Raya Lucaria rebelled against the Carian Royals; and finally, Malenia marched her troops south, defeated Godrick in Limgrave, and finally met with the forces of General Radahn in Caelid. The fight between the two left Malenia comatose, Radahn a maddened husk of his former self, their respective armies all but destroyed, and the realm of Caelid a disease-ridden wasteland.

Great Offscreen War / int_49ad83ee	comment	World of Warcraft 's Expanded Universe has goblins mention in passing a series of no less than four Trade Wars, and described as worse, the Peace War. Details are sparse, limited to battles having been fought in the tunnels of the goblin capital Undermine, and Trade Prince Gallywix's favorite bakery being repeatedly destroyed over the multiple wars. There are also the Troll Wars, which are why high elves are friends with humans, humans have mages, and Zul'Aman is in ruins. A few of the Artifact quests also reference it. The space-faring demonic Burning Legion is described as having destroyed over 1000 worlds, many of which had plenty of armies and champions for some probably pretty epic wars. Some of these are described in the chronicles of the Order Halls in the Legion expansion. Meanwhile, the Shadowlands expansion describes how the various afterlives of the Warcraft universe need to regularly defend themselves from outside forces in some apparently massive wars. In particular, both Bastion and Maldraxxus have been invaded by the forces of the Void, while Revendreth had to fight a war against the armies of the Light that was so costly, it bathed a portion of the realm in blinding, searing, perpetual daylight.

Great Offscreen War / int_4be3aedd	comment	Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers had a great battle between Good and Evil 10,000 years ago. Zordon was with the good guys, Rita with the bad guys under the command of Zedd. The only other clue we have about it is the ending: According to some of the novelizations released around the time, the war ended in "a tie" and came down to a frikkin' coin toss to end the war. Zordon won, but Rita, being a sore loser, trapped Zordon in his Time Warp and stole the Dragon Coin before she and her minions were sealed away in the trashcan. Naturally, nothing like the books' 'coin toss' thing has ever been suggested onscreen. All we know is, Rita got canned, and that Zordon has used teenagers before (though none of Zordon's warriors in flashbacks looked like Rangers.)

Not many details are revealed, but no nukes were used, which is amazing, since both China and India have them. The first protagonist fought in the war, and the second one took on the identity of someone else who did. Several other characters were also involved in various capacities. Apparently, the war ended when someone employed a new WMD called the Quantum Vortex (some suggest it was the Taelons), which killed 100,000 people. There are a few flashbacks to the events of the war through the series. There's also the Taelon-Jaridian War, of which barely anything is known, save that it has been going on for milenia and suposedly spans galaxies.

It also led to a taboo against organized religion that stands strong even centuries later. Few details are given about the war itself, but America is both clearly singled out as the aggressor and has seemingly ceased to exist in global politics and culture by the time the books take place.

The video game Battlestar Galactica Deadlock covers much of the war, though its original elements and storyline probably aren't canon. An earlier licensed video game also purports to cover that period, even being played from the perspective of Commander Adama as a rookie pilot, but it mixes and matches so many elements of the original series and remake that it probably belongs in its own separate continuity.

Great Offscreen War / int_5bfa9c98	comment	In Warframe, The Old War between the precursor Orokin Empire and the Sentients is pretty much the cause of the state of present setting. It was the cause of the creation of the playable faction, the Tenno, the release of the Technocyte Plague, and if the Stalker is to be believed, indirectly resulted in their destruction when the Tenno Turned Against Their Masters and destroyed them, leaving behind the reams of Lost Technology that everyone is squabbling over now.

Although it's pretty easy to imagine the effects the Teraport would have on a galaxy used to wormgate travel for war and trading, we never actually see much of the chaos the invention actually inflicts on galactic civilization apart from a single battle. Also the Terraforming wars, back when both Tagons were in the Celeschul military. A faction of the human population of Celeschul wanted to terraform some of the other planets in the system, but the Schuul natives forbid it, eventually they rebelled, and were very much uncivilized about it.

When they break out, both women find out Maleen's father got into a fight with the wrong ruler during their captivity, since "her father's castle lay in ruins, the town and the villages were, so far as could be seen, destroyed by fire, the fields far and wide laid to waste, and no human being was visible. [...]The enemy had ravaged the whole kingdom, driven away the King, and slain all the inhabitants." The identity of whoever destroyed the kingdom is unrevealed, but since Maleen and her servant have no longer a home, they are forced to wander around the ravaged countryside until they arrive in another city.

Great Offscreen War / int_5e150650	comment	Exalted has a few examples: the Primordial War, the Aftershock War, the Usurpation and the Balorian Crusade. All of these are provided some level of detail (specifically who was fighting and why), but the exact events of the wars are generally shrouded in mystery (typically because they all involved reality being damaged to some degree). And those are just wars involving the Exalted. The occasional hint is dropped regarding wars waged by gods in the era before humanity, and even occasionally to conflicts involving the Primordials prior to the existence of Creation. Autochthonia has its own version in the Elemental War (so named because it so devastated the mechanical ecology that it drove thousands of elementals violently mad), which was noteworthy for being an extremely violent, ethnically driven total war in a world where most fighting is skirmishes to steal resources and supply lines.

Great Offscreen War / int_69085a0	comment	Macross: In Super Dimension Fortress Macross, the backstory tells of a massive war between the Zentradi and a group known as the Supervision Army. This also forms a big part of the plot in Macross 7, where we learn more about what the Supervision Army is and where it came from. The war is actually on-going, and has been for something like 20,000 years, with the Zentradi and Supervision Army having been almost exactly evenly matched from the start. Many Zentradi fleets are still actively engaged in battle against Supervision Army forces far outside of the Milky-Way galaxy, and are far too busy to take note of humanity's affairs. Fortunately for the humans, both groups seem to be largely fragmented, and haven't noticed humanity destroying/assimilating various Zentradi fleets as their civilization expands. The growing human-"cultured" Zentradi alliance commonly skirmish against both forces, but the New United Nations have yet to run afoul of another one of the larger armadas, and already have colonies spread across roughly a third of the Milky Way galaxy. There was also a World War III fought on Earth that led to a One World Order. Though the prequel Macross Zero covers some characters' actions in it, most of the factions and causes are kept vague. Macross Delta has the Windermerean war for independence, which took place a few years before the story. Windermere did succeed in securing their independence from the New UN, but are still bitter over the lives lost... especially over the fact that a Fold Bomb was detonated on Windermere during the conflict.

Great Offscreen War / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: Adventure I12 Egg of the Phoenix: The War of Ending between the forces of Evil and Old Empyrea. Doc and the silver dragon Falx fought in the war, during the adventure the Player Characters find a message that dates back to it, and one mission involves scouting one of the Castles of Ruling that played a major part in the war. An attempt was made to rework the Greyhawk setting with The Greyhawk Wars (the war Iuz was preparing for in the time period of the original boxed set). The war itself was represented as a stand-alone board game only. It produced some interesting novels set in the aftermath of the War where characters often have to deal with the consequences, but the canon version of the war itself is relatively obscure. The various fiends have their own GOWs that shaped their societies, such as they are. The Chaotic Evil demons have the Upheaval, an ancient conflict sparked when the primordial obyriths suffered a devastating defeat in the war between Chaos and Law. The Queen of Chaos lost her most powerful champion, her alliance of other obyriths shattered, inspiring their tanar'ri servitors to rise up against them... and then an eladrin warhost saw a similar opportunity and invaded the Abyss, driving as many fiends as possible into its various layers. When the fighting was over, the power of the obyriths had been forever broken, the tanar'ri were the dominant breed of demons in the Abyss, and the Queen of Chaos was in hiding, and has not been seen since. The Lawful Evil devils have the Reckoning, a great civil war that wracked the Nine Hells of Baator. The various archdevils split into two factions that attempted to unseat Asmodeus, Lord of the Nine. Unfortunately for them, Asmodeus was such as an expert chessmaster that his counter-conspiracy left his would-be usurpers utterly broken, and emerged with an even tighter grip on power. In the aftermath, the treacherous archdevils were punished in various ways — Baalzebul was transformed into a hideous slug monster, while Belial lost official rulership of Phlegethos to his daughter Fierna — though the archduke Geryon, who had served as Asmodeus' mole during the conflict, was also punished by being deposed as ruler of Stygia, perhaps because loyalty is no virtue in Hell. The grudges from the Reckoning persist to this day, though most archdevils are more concerned with getting revenge on their rivals/co-conspirators than making another serious attempt to overthrow Asmodeus. Eberron has one happening just a few years before the current day of the setting. The Great War was sparked by a Succession Crisis, and lasted for about a century. It saw the creation of several nations who seceded from the original five nations of Galifar, and only ended when a mysterious catastrophe consumed the entire nation of Cyre, killing everything within its borders. The war doesn't have to be offscreen, and there are resources available for playing during the war, but the "present day" of the setting is two years after the war officially ended. The backstory of the Nentir Vale setting in 4th Edition has the war between the civilization of Nerath led by King Elidyr and the gnoll demon horde headed by Yeenoghu. There was also the war between the tiefling (half-devil) empire of Bael Turath versus the dragonborn empire of Archosia. Your characters most likely will start their career scrounging leftover supplies from said wars.

Great Offscreen War / int_6bbde1c8	comment	The most important event in Overwatch's backstory is the Omnic Crisis, in which the world's omnics rebelled en masse for reasons unknown. It was during this period that Overwatch itself was founded to bring together the world's best soldiers to create an elite task force for combatting the machines. They proved so effective at ending the crisis that the United Nations allowed them to stick around as an officially-sanctioned international law enforcement agency for decades into the early "present" of the 2070s, at which point internal problems, bad press and some critical losses forced its collapse, setting up the actual narrative's main premise. In the present, the conflict's effects are still being felt: Russia is engaged with its own conflict with hostile AI left over from the Crisis, nonviolent and sentient worker omnics are the subject of persecution and injustice throughout the world, and many characters — most notably Bastion, one of the very same killer machines deployed during the conflict that has since developed free will — struggle with the memories of what they endured during the war. Bastion's and Reinhardt's animated story cinematics mitigate some of the "offscreen" nature of this trope by giving us some glimpses of the Crisis while it was ongoing, and the cancelled graphic novel First Strike would have focused entirely on Overwatch's origins during the conflict's height. But otherwise, it remains confined to the background as an explanation for how the world wound up in its current state.

We only see some snippets of the raids on the Southern Water Tribe and Iroh's assault on Ba Sing Se through flashbacks while most other battles are only alluded to. Even over the course of the show itself we don 't see that much of the actual war, with only a small handful of major military battles being shown. (four, maybe five if you count "The Drill"). In fact, the entire century of conflict between Aang's freezing to when Katara frees him is mostly untouched, even in fan fiction.

Even if a story is taking place during an interstellar war, the protagonist is likely to be involved on its fringes. This includes the four Void Wars against the Faata (taking place over the span of a century), the war with the Dromi (which lasts for at least 150 years due to the sheer numbers of the enemy), as well as the smaller conflicts against the Kni'lina and the Haptors.

Great Offscreen War / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has a vague recounting of a war which occurred before Link was born and led to the death of his mother, who left him in the care of the Great Deku Tree. It's implied that this was the war that led to the unification of Hyrule. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask has Ikana Canyon, which was the site of an ancient war between the Ikana Kingdom and the enemy Garo ninja. It isn't made directly clear what exactly happened during the war, though the comments of the various undead members of both sides along with the placement of several important characters (the king of Ikana within his ruined castle, the Ikana general in the graveyard with most of his men, the ninjas practically everywhere, and the Garo Master within the stronghold of Stone Tower) seems to suggest the Garo ultimately won, but it was a "victory" that ended with everyone dead and the canyon lifeless. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past talks about a warnote set shortly after Ocarina of Time in a timeline where Link died before beating Ganon, according to the timeline known as the Imprisoning War in which the Knights of Hyrule fought to give the Seven Sages the opportunity to seal Ganon in the Sacred Realm. It also talks about an even earlier warnote sometime after Skyward Sword but before Ocarina of Time which led to the Triforce being sealed in the Sacred Realm in the first place. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess mentions a similar conflict, describing how an evil tribe of powerful sorcerers (known in Fanon as the Dark Interlopers) came so close to getting the Triforce that the Spirits of Light had to entrap them in the Twilight Realm, where they evolved into the Twili. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword mentions an earlier conflict in which Hylia and her armies fought against armies of invading demons to keep the Triforce safe. In this case, the offscreen nature of the war is actually justified: in the early days of the war, the group from whose perspective we see were sent up into the sky on a Floating Continent with the Triforce to keep both safe and out of reach of the war. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds treats the events of A Link to the Past as this. There is also the war fought for the other Triforce in Lorule, very much like the one fought in Hyrule. Unlike Hyrule, they destroyed the Triforce to keep it from being anymore trouble, which ended up being a very big mistake. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has the Great Calamity, in which Calamity Ganon took over the Guardians and Divine Beasts and used them to ravage Hyrule. While an early expository cutscene shows a glimpse of the massacre that took place in Hyrule Castle Town and Link's last retrievable memory shows the moment he succumbed to his injuries while fighting the Guardians, the main evidence that the Calamity happened are the blasted ruins and decayed Guardians strewn about Hyrule. There's also the original battle between Hyrule's combined forces and Ganon 10,000 years prior, which is only depicted on a mural in Impa's home. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has the Imprisoning War (separate from the conflict of the same name first discussed in A Link to the Past), where Ganondorf was sealed away in the Depths after he tried to destroy Hyrule. We only see very brief glimpses of the war itself — two cutscenes of Ganondorf summoning hordes of monsters, and one of him being imprisoned.

The Inner Colony Wars, mentioned off-hand in Second Sunrise Over New Mombasa, were a series of conflicts involving the Inner Colonies nearly 200 years after the Interplanetary Wars. The Covenant's 3,404 years of history includes a vast number of conflicts that we know relatively little about, with several involving the conquest of newly encountered species. These conflicts include the War of Beginnings, the Taming of the Lekgolo, the Sixteenth Unggoy Disobedience, the war against the Banished (which was concurrent with the war against humanity), etc. The games treat the war between the Forerunners and Flood (which ended 100,000 years before the start of the main series) largely as this, though we did eventually get a more direct look into the conflict in The Forerunner Saga. The Forerunners are also noted to have fought various other wars even further back in the past, most noticeably their conflict with Advanced Ancient Humans.

Great Offscreen War / int_76b8cb10	comment	Fallout has the Great War, a two-hour war during which every nuclear-capable country in the world launched. No one knows who launched first, and given the state of the world afterwards it doesn't really matter anymore. Two sources — the leader of the Enclave (the remnants of the US government) and the log of a Chinese submarine commander during the Great War — point to the Chinese. Still, they might be mistaken, and part of the lead-up to the Great War is still undetailed — the war between China and the USA has been given a fair bit of attention, but the other Resource Wars — especially the one between Europe and the Middle East, and the ones that happened in Europe after that - are still mostly names, if even that. Fallout: New Vegas mentions several for the New California Republic. There's the NCR-Enclave War, The NCR-Great Khans War and the NCR-Brotherhood of Steel War. Each of the conflicts relates to at least one companion; Boone = Khan War, Veronica = Brotherhood, Arcade = Enclave. Averted with Fallout 3 with the "Operation Anchorage" simulation, where you (virtually) fight a small part of the war to reclaim Alaska from the Chinese before the bombs dropped, though notes around the facility record that the simulation has been repeatedly rewritten at the orders of a general, and bears less and less relation to the reality. We finally get to see it, or at least one of the opening salvos, in Fallout 4.

The video game Battlestar Galactica Deadlock covers much of the war, though its original elements and storyline probably aren't canon. An earlier licensed video game also purports to cover that period, even being played from the perspective of Commander Adama as a rookie pilot, but it mixes and matches so many elements of the original series and remake that it probably belongs in its own separate continuity.

This war killed the Giant Kharlan Tree, which was once a source of ever-flowing mana. This is also where Mithos met Kratos and Yuan, and where Martel was killed, and thus how he decided to split the world in two. Because the Tree is considered a myth, the war is also assumed to have been mythical, especially since the best-known version of the story ends with the citizens of Tethe'alla exiling themselves to the moon by climbing the Tower of Salvation, which is obvious fairy-tale material. This version of the tale is spread by Cruxis as propaganda, but while it does contain some obvious lies, it's still closer to the truth than one might expect.

Great Offscreen War / int_7d8c61a2	comment	Its successor, Star Wars: The Old Republic, has a recent war between the Galactic Republic and the reborn Sith Empire. The war ended when the Empire sacked Coruscant, held it hostage, and demanded a peace treaty (for reasons that vary wildly depending on who you ask). The two powers have spent the intervening years in a very intense just-this-close-to-hot Cold War. Rise of the Hutt Cartel involves the titular organization making their own bid for power on a galactic scale, but all the players ever see is the guerilla war for Makeb where the outcome is decided. It's not entirely clear if there even were other fronts, since their plan hinged on the resources they were raiding Makeb for. Between the Shadow of Revan and Knights of the Fallen Empire expansions a massive raiding force from a third side devastates both factions. We see bits of it in a trailer, but in-game the timeline skips over it and rejoins during a combined attempt to track them back to their homeworld. There's then a second offscreen war with the same enemy's full strength where they conquer the galaxy while the Player Character is temporarily out of action. The Third Galactic War between the Sith Empire and Republic after that faction is defeated takes place almost entirely off-screen, with the player character only involved in strategically important but small scale skirmishes.

It was actually one war in the Original Series, but was later divided. The war between Earth and Romulan Star Empire, which forms the backstory for the episode "Balance of Terror". When first mentioned in the original series, this war was fought entirely at extreme ranges with nuclear weapons (and with neither race ever actually seeing a member of the other). Star Trek: Enterprise depicted the build-up to the war and retconned the details a bit: both sides had access to conventional starships and weapons but the Romulans themselves remained unseen by humans. Star Trek: The Next Generation: The wars between the Federation and the Cardassians, which were responsible for creating the Anti-Cardassian Maquis. Strangely, the wars weren't mentioned in the first seasons, only later. The "brutal border wars" against the Talarians and the Tzenkethi, which happened at some point between the Original Series and The Next Generation. There was also at least one conflict with the Tholians in the same time-frame.

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team features the war between the Pi'illo Kingdom and Antasma to keep the latter from obtaining the wish-granting Dark Stone. The Pi'illos were able to seal Antasma in the Dream World to keep this from happening, but Antasma was able to crush the Dark Stone and turn the Pi'illos to stone until Mario and Luigi free them. In Super Mario Odyssey, the Ruined Kingdom is speculated to have gotten that way as a result of its inhabitants having one against the Ruined Dragon. The region is covered in sword-like pins that were used in an attempt to contain the Dragon's electric powers.

Great Offscreen War / int_83443877	comment	An even more vague war is shown briefly in the last chapter of the main game, which didn't even receive an official name. It was set over Earth - yes, our Earth, and involved two factions, one of which wasn't even named. The named faction were called the Saviorite Rebels, while the unnamed one was likely made up of the United States of America and an unspecified European nation, and the God of 2's world, the Architect, was a human scientist working for the unnamed faction. That's not the twist, though - the real twist is that the Architect is half of Professor Klaus/Zanza, the first game's Big Bad, and that the event that resulted in the creation the worlds of the first two games happened during the final battle of said war. Said event was vaguely shown at the very end of the first game as well, with the version being shown in 2 being more detailed and showing it from the perspective of Professor Klaus. Yeah, it's that kind of game.

It was later expanded on in Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War, allowing you to experience the conflict for yourself, henceforth becoming a major part of the franchise's lore. Other wars that form a crucial part of certain games' backstories are civil wars in enemy nations, one big example being the Estovakian Civil War, a brutal knock-down drag-out mess that involved as many as five factions and lasted six years, essentially a precursor to the Anean Continental War seen in Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation. In Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception, the Leasathian Civil War also serves a similar purpose.

Despite ending 2169 years ago, the repercussions are still felt today: many races were driven to extinction, down to Last of His Kind or Dying Race; and the gods were forced to depart from Gielinor. Many quests focus on this time: the cave goblin-dwarf railway is postponed due to the discovery of related artifacts, the player rediscovers the myriad, a Dying Race of Energy Beings, human-vampyre tension runs high but if another war breaks out, Guthix would be reawakened to destroy the world and remake it.

The biggest effect of the Genomic War on the main story is that it apparently caused the Amish and Mennonites to have to evacuate their territories for a time, and when they finally returned, they were somewhat less closed minded than they had been, and a number of outsiders followed them, making them a much more ethnically diverse group than they had been.

Great Offscreen War / int_8ac4e993	comment	The Gundam franchise has used this setting in several of its Alternate Timelines: After War Gundam X: The Seventh Space War, which ended in a mass Colony Drop, devastating Earth, wiping out 90% of the human population, and causing a calendar change. We see a few scenes from it, and meet a few survivors of the war, though the focus is more on the characters trying to build a new world on the ashes of the old, and prevent an Eighth War from starting up in the meantime. ∀ Gundam has the final conflict of the Dark History. There's very little known of it, except that it was apparently so nasty that all the space colonies pulled a Screw This, I'm Outta Here, and the pilot of the Turn A Gundam felt the need to wipe out all civilization on Earth (though his/her reasons for doing so are never stated... for obvious reasons, very few records of that time survive). Gundam: Reconguista in G: 1000 years before the story started, the Universal Century depicted in the original Gundam series underwent a societal collapse after numerous wars. Records of the time are sparse, but it is known that most of the space colonies were either destroyed or left, Earth's environment was ruined, and there was a severe famine that caused even more death. Most of the current society under the rule of Capitol Tower is kept in line out of fear of ever risking such a disaster again. Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans has the Calamity War fought 300 years prior, which was so devastating that it caused a change in calendar and blew up most of the Moon. It was apparently fought between humanity and automated, self-repairing, and self-supplying drone superweapons called Mobile Armors, which killed a quarter of the human population at the time. Why anyone would create the Mobile Armors has not been discussed. Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury occasionally references the Drone War, a conflict that seemingly occurred a few decades before the series. We know little about it as of this writing, but it was a major motivating factor behind Delling's belief that the Gundam technology could come to no good. It's also played with in the main Universal Century timeline, where many of the smaller side stories take place independently of the larger war. Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket takes place in the neutral Side 6 colony of Libot, which was barely touched by the One Year War until events of the series (with some mentions of events of Gundam sprinkled in), while Gundam Sentinel takes place sometime during the events of Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ but is otherwise completely separate.

Great Offscreen War / int_8b81d5ca	comment	The Red Rising trilogy has three: The Conquering, which took place roughly 736 years before the start of the original novel. The original Golds who colonized Luna, weary of paying heavy taxes to Earth-based corporations, declared their independence, turned around, and conquered Earth. The Dark Revolt, when the Obsidian caste rebelled against their Gold masters a little less than three centuries after the Conquering. The rebellion was unsuccessful, and 90% of the Obsidian population was exterminated. To prevent future rebellions, the Obsidians were stripped of all technology and banished to the poles of planets and moons, where tribal shamans encouraged the superstition that the Golds were gods, a fact which Golds masquerading as Nordic deities deliberately reinforced. More recently was the first Moon Lords' Rebellion, which began fifty-five years before the start of the trilogy, when the moons of Saturn rebelled against the Core after Octavia au Lune usurped her father as Sovereign. The war lasted for twenty years and did not end until The Ash Lord destroyed Rhea, the moon which had instigated the rebellion, with nuclear warheads, killing millions. Up until the second book of the trilogy, the glassy ruins of Rhea in the night sky and their children held as political hostages on Luna was enough for Octavia to keep the Moon Lords in line. After the Augustan alliance shatters at the end of Golden Son, the outer moons of the solar system declare their independence once more. Though their second rebellion does not do well, the revelation that Octavia had been keeping enough nuclear weapons to repeat what the Ash Lord did to Rhea if necessary convinces the Moon Lords to form a temporary alliance with the Rising to defeat the Sovereign's forces.

It was set over Earth - yes, our Earth, and involved two factions, one of which wasn't even named. The named faction were called the Saviorite Rebels, while the unnamed one was likely made up of the United States of America and an unspecified European nation, and the God of 2's world, the Architect, was a human scientist working for the unnamed faction. That's not the twist, though - the real twist is that the Architect is half of Professor Klaus/Zanza, the first game's Big Bad, and that the event that resulted in the creation the worlds of the first two games happened during the final battle of said war. Said event was vaguely shown at the very end of the first game as well, with the version being shown in 2 being more detailed and showing it from the perspective of Professor Klaus. Yeah, it's that kind of game.

Great Offscreen War / int_9068877a	comment	Red vs. Blue has repeated references (especially in the Recollection Trilogy) to some kind of great war against an alien race. The only details are that it took place during The Blood Gulch Chronicles and was resolved offscreen sometime between Blood Gulch and Reconstruction (or possibly sometime before the end of Blood Gulch), that Project Freelancer was one of many desperate initiatives towards the end of the war, and that humanity became allied with the aliens afterwards. As the link shows, everything indicates it's the Human-Covenant War from the Halo games the series is built on, although the connections to Master Chief's story are often very loose.

Great Offscreen War / int_909b004d	comment	The Transformers (IDW) continuity has a few that happened either before or sometime during the onscreen war between the Autobots and Decepticons, which has recently ended: The First Great War, which happened several million years before the comics. We don't know much about it, but Nova Prime and his allies managed to bring it to a peaceful conclusion leading the Cybertronion Golden Age. The Software Wars, we know next to nothing about this one, except that Guzzle was in them and it was centered in the city of Polyhex. The Lava Wars, again, we know next-to-nothing about this one. Apparently it was caused by a guy called Magma. The war amongst the Stentarians between the Ammonites and Terradores. It's apparently ongoing, is older than all the other known galactic wars, and caused The Shattering, which eventually led to the formation of the Galactic Council. Transformers: Last Bot Standing is set in a continutiy where the Great War is long over, and it took nearly everything in the universe with it. Few Cybertronians are left, and none are in good shape. The wars are impled to have wiped out pretty much every known race with them, including Humans and Nebulons.

The 'classic' Battletech started in the In-Universe year of 3025 and featured an eight-hundred year backstory filled with these (of particular note were the Reunification Wars, the Amaris Civil War, and the first three Succession Wars). As the game has expanded forward in time, sourcebooks have also been released to allow games being played at these time points, using era-appropriate tech and 'mechs. The main remaining offscreen war at this point is the Outer Reaches Rebellion, as it happened 300 years before the creation of the Humongous Mecha the setting is known for.

The war lasts over a thousand years, in which time the protagonist completes four years of military service, almost all of it travel time.

The only source of information on that is an undead dragon in the eighth book, who claims that it happened and brought the Jaghut — usually a solitary bunch prone to becoming hermits — together in entire armies, as well as allies from almost every race inexistence at that time. High King Kallor, who's old enough to have seen the Jaghut in their prime, has never heard of that war and refuses to believe the dragon. The trope is, however, later averted in the prequel, The Kharkanas Trilogy, where it happens onscreen, but is still in play for the main series.

When first mentioned in the original series, this war was fought entirely at extreme ranges with nuclear weapons (and with neither race ever actually seeing a member of the other). Star Trek: Enterprise depicted the build-up to the war and retconned the details a bit: both sides had access to conventional starships and weapons but the Romulans themselves remained unseen by humans.

Great Offscreen War / int_9a7a61a	comment	Sonic the Comic and the continuation Sonic the Comic â€“ Online! has the Great War between the Echidnas of Megopolis City and the Drakons of the invading Drakon Empire which took place eight thousand years ago over Mobius' Emerald mines, which could contain the Chaos energy, a powerful but highly unstable energy source created by scientists on Drak, the Drakons home planet. The Drakons were able to steal seven Emeralds before the war began. The gems, when combined with the Chaos energy, formed the legendary Chaos Emeralds. Two days before the war began, Pochacamac, leader of the Megopolis tribe, managed to steal the sacred Emeralds back from the Drakons, both to keep to return them to their true home and to prevent the Drakons from conquering the entire galaxy. Angered, the Drakons sent out a scout to examine the Echidna defenses before sending a full-scale invasion force to claim the Emeralds. A battle erupted inside Pochacmac's command room, with Drakon Prosecutors and Sentinels fighting against Sonic the Hedgehog and echidnas armed with Guardian Robots. The fight was briefly interrupted when a Prosecutor struck the Emeralds with his Dimensional Staff, causing a chain reaction that turned a fallen Drakon warrior into the mighty Chaos. The ensuing explosion weakened the gathered Drakon soldiers enough for Knuckles and the other tribesmen to fight back while Sonic and Pochacmac took care of Chaos. After a final push, the echidnas drove the Drakon invaders out of the city, but the war was far from over. Although no victor was ever declared, the failure of the Drakons to claim their intended prize suggests the Mobian defence held out, albeit at a great cost.

Great Offscreen War / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: Several significant wars have been fought in the series backstory or between installments that have shaped the game world. The War of the First Council in the First Era set the stage for all that followed. The devout, Daedra/ancestor-worshipping Chimer and atheistic, scientific Dwemer came into conflict in the land now known as Morrowind. After years of fighting, they were forced to team up to drive out the invading Nords. Their alliance remained under the leadership of Chimeri Lord Indoril Nerevar and Dwemer Dumac Dwarfking, known as the "first council." It was a time of great peace and prosperity for both races. However, the Dwemer Dug Too Deep beneath Red Mountain and unearthed the Heart of Lorkhan, the creator god. Chief Tonal Architect, Lord Kagrenec, crafted tools to tap into the power of the heart, hoping to allow the Dwemer to transcend mortality. The Chimer, seeing this as a blasphemy against their gods in the Daedra, attempted to stop the Dwemer, reigniting their war. The two tribes clashed at Red Mountain, the Nords also may have been involved but that's only according to their history the Dunmer don't mention any other factions participating in the battle. Forces led by Nerevar and Lord Voryn Dagoth infiltrated the Dwemer Red Mountain stronghold. Exactly what happened next is up for intense debate, but the Dwemer disappeared from existence, Nerevar was slain, Dagoth and the Tribunal used the tools on the heart to achieve godhood, and Azura cursed the Chimer with dark skin and red eyes, transforming them into the modern Dunmer. The Nord defeat in Morrowind also marked the furthest expanse of their early empire, the first empire of Men in Tamriel. Many of their conquests were thanks to their mastery of the Thu'um as a weapon of war. After that defeat, Jurgen Windcaller, one of the defeated Nord leaders, reflected on it and determined that it was a punishment from the gods for misusing the Thu'um. Thus, he created the Way of the Voice and founded the Greybeards to only use the Thu'um to honor the gods. Afterward, it saw a drastic drop in use as a weapon of war and the Nords were never again able to reach that level as an empire. The aftereffects of this battle can still be felt in the plotlines for Morrowind and Skyrim. The Tiber Wars were a series of wars fought as part of Tiber Septim's campaign to conquer all of Tamriel. Septim had conquered all but Morrowind (protected by their Physical Gods and the Summerset Isles (protected by their powerful magics) during the late 2nd Era, the only two provinces the last empire out of Cyrodiil, the Reman Dynasty, had failed to conquer.note Reman I was able to get the Altmer to join his Empire, but not by military force. He got them to join via treaty with exceptionally favorable terms to the Altmer. Unknown to Septim, the Dunmer demi-gods of Morrowind, known as the Tribunal, had been cut off from their divine power source by their ancient enemy, Dagoth Ur. Septim's legions easily sacked Mournhold, the capital of Morrowind. Without their gods to protect them, the rest of Morrowind would have been devastated in a protracted war with Septim's legions. Knowing this, Vivec, one of these gods, met with Septim and forged an Armistice. Morrowind would join the empire as a Voluntary Vassal, sparing his people from war. In addition, Vivec offered the Dwemer-crafted Reality Warping Humongous Mecha - The Numidium - to Septim in exchange for special privileges for Morrowind. (Specifically, continued Great House rule, free worship of the Tribunal, and the right to continue practicing slavery which was outlawed elsewhere in the empire.) Septim then used the Numidium to Curb Stomp the Altmer of the Summerset Isles (sacking their capital in less than hour), bringing them under the rule of men for the first time in history. With the unification of Tamriel, Septim began the Third Era of Tamriellic history during which the games from Arena to Oblivion all take place. The War of Betony was fought between the Bretons of Daggerfall under King Lysandus and the Redguards of Sentinel under King Camaron over control of the strategically important island of Betony in the Iliac Bay. Both kings were slain during the war, which saw Lysandus' son lead the forces of Daggerfall to victory. Lysandus' ghost, however, returned to haunt the city of Daggerfall, which kicks off the plot to the Daggerfall. The "Great War" was fought between the forces of the Aldmeri Dominion under the leadership of the anti-human extremist Thalmor and the remnants of the Septim Empire under Emperor Titus Mede II in the 4th Era. The Dominion's forces sacked the Imperial City, committing gruesome atrocities against the city's populace. With reinforcements from his Nord forces in Skyrim, Mede was able to recapture the city, but at great cost. Knowing that his empire was too exhausted to endure further conflict, Mede reluctantly signed the White-Gold Concordat; a treaty that, among other things, banned the worship of Talos in the Empire. This particular provision angered the Nords most of all, leading to the Civil War in Skyrim. The civil war itself in Skyrim is an optional side quest, allowing the player to completely ignore it and let it happen entirely off-screen if they so choose.

Great Offscreen War / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire (and it's television adaptation Game of Thrones) has many of these. Some have been detailed in the companion books (Archmaester Gyldayn's Histories, The World of Ice & Fire, and Fire & Blood), but others remain unexplained. Ordered by reverse chronology: The Greyjoy's Rebellion. It's the reason why Theon is a ward of the Starks, and serves as a factor to the Ironborn's decision to secede during the War of the Five Kings, as they have not given up the idea of independence. The most important to the series is Robert's Rebellion, which ended fifteen years before the series starts. It began when Rhaegar Targaryen, heir to Aerys II, stole Robert's betrothed, Lyanna Stark, while Aerys himself had also murdered Eddard Stark's father, Rickard, and brother, Brandon. It resulted in the fall of House Targaryen, who had ruled the Seven Kingdoms for nearly three centuries, and the installation of the Baratheon-Lannister dynasty. It is really the cause for all of the events in the series - giving the effect that the reader has plunged into the middle of the story rather than the beginning. What Tywin Lannister did to inspire "The Rains of Castamere". "But there are no Reynes and Tarbecks"... "Exactly." The World of Ice & Fire finally reveals the event: after the Reynes and Tarbecks defied his authority, Tywin beat them militarily and burned Tarbeck Hall to the ground, and then trapped the Reynes in a mine and redirected a river to drown them. The War of the Ninepenny Kings, the culmination of five rebellions instigated by House Blackfyre, a cadet branch of the Targaryens. The last Blackfyre and a group of bandit-kings warred against Westeros in the Stepstones and the Free City of Lys. The conflict ended with the extinction of the Blackfyres in the male line, although the Golden Company limped on in the Free Cities. Meanwhile, the Tales of Dunk and Egg prequel series explores the fallout of the First Blackfyre Rebellion. The Second Blackfyre Rebellion also led to the Peake Uprising, which killed Maekar I and led to the ascension of Aegon V "Egg". The Dance of the Dragons, a Targaryen civil war that happened over 160 years prior. It is now the subject of House of the Dragon. The Dornish Wars, five separate conflicts instigated by the Targaryens to conquer Dorne, the most persistent of the Seven Kingdoms. Unlike the others, Dorne remained independent long after Aegon I passed away, and it wasn't until the reign of Daeron I, his great-great-great-great-great-grandson, that it was de facto subjugated. Which didn't stick, anyway; Dorne was ultimately integrated a generation later through Altar Diplomacy by Daeron's namesake and first cousin once removed, Daeron II. Some nobles are concerned when Cersei Lannister elects to revive the long-dormant Faith Militant, because the last time they grew powerful, they started a rebellion against the Targaryen dynasty (though to be fair, it was because they were opposed to their tradition of incestuous marriage), which ended during the miraculous reign of Jaehaerys I. And it's unknown if lightning can strike twice. Further back in time, we had Aegon Targaryen's conquest of Westeros and the creation of the united monarchy of the Seven Kingdoms. Years in Westeros are dated from the point of the Targaryen invasion (BC = Before Conquest, AC = After Conquest). The seldom-mentioned Century of Blood, a century of constant wars after the Doom of Valyria destroyed the Valyrian Freehold, creating multiple factions in Essos fighting for supremacy. The Dothraki rose during this time, as without Valyria to hold them back, they were free to plunder Essosi territory. The Free Cities of Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh were formerly united under the Triarchy, but they fought each other during the Daughters' War (so-called because they are the "Daughters of Valyria") and separated. Westeros had several unification wars. The Age of Heroes led to the rise of great Houses such as the Starks and Lannisters. The Andal invasion led to the coming of the Faith of the Seven, the importation of the typical Medieval lifestyle and the disappearance of the Children of the Forest. The Rhoynish Invasion of Dorne led to that place becoming a principality under the rule of House Martell. The truly ancient wars between Valyria and the Ghiscari Empire, back when the former was still a nascent kingdom, more than four thousand years ago. It was the reason why slavery is prevalent in Essos; when Valyria conquered Ghis, it adopted many of the latter's practices, including slavery, and expanded it to cover the rest of the continent. Afterthat was Valyria's war with the Rhoynar empire. The defeat of the Rhoynish caused them to flee to Dorne. Going even further back to mythic times, there are the stories from various cultures about a great battle between good and evil, implied to be an earlier war with The Others. In Westeros, this was imagined as the Long Night, during which the First Men and the Children of the Forest banded together to fight the Others, who came from the Land of Always Winter in far northern Westeros. The first recorded conflict in Westeros was between the Children of the Forest and the First Men, recently arriving through a land bridge that connected Dorne, the Stepstones, and western Essos. The Children called in the "hammer of the waters", which flooded the land bridge and caused the North to be separated from the rest of the continent by a swamp. But the arrivals were too large in number, and the Children eventually made peace with them, presaging their cooperation during the Long Night.

Great Offscreen War / int_9e8e9ba3	comment	There are also numerous examples of wars which would count as great in most settings, but which are so small they hardly get a mention in Warhammer. Crusades lasting decades and covering hundreds or thousands of worlds often get little more than a sentence or two of offhand mention. Even those that form the background of larger works (such as Gaunt's Ghosts) have very little of the whole war ever shown.

To put it simply, a pair of Star-Crossed Lovers (Blazon Logax of House Leo and Brianella Amarise of House Cancer) decided to secede from the Zodiac, convincing Vecily Matador of House Taurus to join them. Things escalated from there. Unsurprisingly, the immortal Aquarius laid the seeds for it (though itâ€™s heavily implied it was unintentional on his part).

Final Fantasy VII: The war in which Shinra conquered the world, especially Wutai. The very end of this war (the conquest of Wutai part) is the very first chapter of Crisis Core. 'Final Fantasy VII Rebirth: Shinra's world conquest is further elaborated on with a previous war fought between the company and the former Republic of Junon. Between what veterans told of it in sidequests and the sheer number of abandoned Republic installations seen in the game, it's implied that this war was much more brutal than the one with Wutai. Final Fantasy VIII: The war between Galbadia and Esthar, roughly eighteen years before the game began, which was caused by Sorceress Adel, the ruler of Esthar, attempting to Take Over the World. Final Fantasy X: The war that destroyed the world and drove Yu Yevon mad, turning him into Sin. Final Fantasy XI: The stage is set by the great Crystal War of twenty years earlier; the opening cinematic shows a climactic battle from the War. The three great cities now deputize adventurers because of how the war depleted their armies. Becomes an onscreen war in the Wings of the Goddess expansion, where characters can travel back in time and participate in the war. Final Fantasy XIII: The War of Transgression, which nearly destroyed Cocoon 500 years ago. Final Fantasy XIV: For A Realm Reborn players, the United Eorzea-Garlemald war that culminated in the Battle of Carteneau is this, with the current conflict being an extension of it. Legacy players got to experience it firsthand. Final Fantasy XV has the war between the kingdom of Lucis and the empire of Niflheim. The turning point of the war is shown early in the story (using footage from Kingsglaive Final Fantasy XV) and continues in the background. Final Fantasy Tactics: The war fought between Mullonde and the Zodiac Braves. The truth is very different from what scholars accepted as historical facts. And recently, the 50 Year War in which many of the game's older famous generals made a name for themselves. Dissidia Final Fantasy: The war between Lufenian and their neighbor, which facilitated the birth of Chaos to defeat Omega.

Great Offscreen War / int_ad622d64	comment	The Malazan Book of the Fallen, being a ten-volume doorstopper series with a millennia-spanning backstory, also has a couple: The so called Jaghut War on Death is said to have happened millennia ago. The only source of information on that is an undead dragon in the eighth book, who claims that it happened and brought the Jaghut — usually a solitary bunch prone to becoming hermits — together in entire armies, as well as allies from almost every race inexistence at that time. High King Kallor, who's old enough to have seen the Jaghut in their prime, has never heard of that war and refuses to believe the dragon. The trope is, however, later averted in the prequel, The Kharkanas Trilogy, where it happens onscreen, but is still in play for the main series. The civil war that sundered the Tiste homerealm of Kurald Galain is often references but barely ever shown, and what little information there is tends to contradict itself. All that's certain is that it destroyed Kurald Galain and caused the three Tiste peoples to evacuate into other realms, and was caused by Mother Dark turning away from her children. Again, this one is averted in the prequel trilogy, but remains in play in the main series. The extermination war in which the T'lan Imass decided they'd had enough of being ruled over by the Jaghut Tyrants and vowed to hunt the latter into extinction is also often referenced and important for the setting's backstory, but only bits and pieces of information are given to the reader. This one happened at least three hundred thousand years before the main story. Another extermination war with even less information available is that of the Forkrul Assail against the followers of the god best known as the Errant. It reduced the Errant's power drastically and himself from the local top god to skulking the shadows. And that's pretty much all that is known about it. Other than that he is still smarting tens of thousands of years later. The Forkrul Assail — they love their war mongering — invasion of the sub-continent of Kolanse is very sparsely explained, but being important to the series' backstory, it is referenced quite often once introduced. They showed up in their ships, took over, caused a famine and have been lording over Kolanse ever since. How exactly they managed to gain control over several kingdoms can only be inferred thanks to their particular style of magic. The various conquests of the Malazan Empire are mostly only referenced, chiefly among them the conquests of the continents of Korelri and Genabackis (only the tail-end of which is shown) and the sub-continent of Seven Cities. The latter plays the bigger role in the backstory of the series as it provides the reasons for the Whirlwind Rebellion that happens in the second volume.

The Countess Persephone's father was slain in it, Duke Nobel proved his skill as a military commander during it, and Bruin, Tiecelin, and Grymbart fought in it, occasionally referencing battles, camp life, what the weather was like before an engagement, etc. The war drove an entire region to famine so extreme that its people had to resort to eating their own children, and yet it's over before page one of Reynard the Fox. More cryptically, there are occasional references to "The Glyconese Rebellion", an ancient war in which dragons were involved.

Great Offscreen War / int_b565ccc5	comment	Loki (2021): In the pilot, we're told that there was once a Multiversal War, as conflict broke out between various universes that threatened to wipe out all of creation, until the Time Keepers ended it and created the Time Variance Authority to ensure that only a singular timeline would exist in order to prevent this from happening again. The Season 1 finale reveals that this is only half true — the war did happen, but was specifically fought between variants of the same man (all but outright said to be Kang the Conqueror) until one managed to secure the existence of only his timeline by creating the TVA and giving them the myth of the Time Keepers to guide them. When this victorious Variant is killed by Sylvie in the finale, the timeline starts branching, indicating that the war is about to start again.

Characters make plenty of references to it, but the fact that the story takes place on Earth (which is an established demilitarized zone) means that it's never shown. The one time that the plot heads to the other world, the battle that would have taken place is avoided thanks to Kobayashi's intervention.

Most of the backstory given on the war is told through the ghost of Zirconis, a dragon on the anti-human side slain by Acnologia, and Irene Belserion, the creator of Dragon Slayer Magic who also became a dragon from overuse of her magic (and is also Erza Scarlet's mother).

At first, the Fourth Holy Grail War was also an example, but eventually the story was told as Fate/Zero. Said war also occurs in the backstory of Fate/Apocrypha (according to this, the Third Reich got involved after getting wind of a possibly omnipotent wish-granting device), albeit in this timeline, due to the Greater Grail being taken to Romania, neither the Fourth or Fifth occur in this timeline. Also, instead of an Avenger being summoned by the Einzbern, it was a Ruler, which means the Grail isn't corrupted in this timeline and plays into said surviving Ruler's own plans.

Great Offscreen War / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Given Warhammer 40,000's tagline "In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war", it's unsurprising that this happens quite a lot. Most prominent are the Robot War that explains the Imperium's distrust of Artificial Intelligence, the Great Crusade in which the Emperor founded the Imperium, and the Horus Heresy which resulted in the Imperium as we know it today. Going further back, the War In Heaven between the Slaan and the Necrons sets up the backstory for the setting as a whole, but few details are ever given and even less is known in-universe. Some of these have been elaborated on more over time, especially the Horus Heresy which started as a vague explanation for why Chaos Space Marines exist and why the Emperor doesn't do much, but in recent years has become a major focus of the literature in the expanded universe. There are also numerous examples of wars which would count as great in most settings, but which are so small they hardly get a mention in Warhammer. Crusades lasting decades and covering hundreds or thousands of worlds often get little more than a sentence or two of offhand mention. Even those that form the background of larger works (such as Gaunt's Ghosts) have very little of the whole war ever shown. The War in Heaven is arguably the most important event in the Warhammer galaxy's history. It not only directly created three of the largest factions in the game (the Orcs, the Eldar and the Necrons), but the uncounted trillions of angry dead souls was enough to corrupt the Afterlife, turning it into the churning nightmare of a hellscape known as the Warp, making it partially responsible for Chaos as well.

It's heavily implied to have been a bloody and brutal affair, which led to widespread xenophobia on Earth that persists into the main story. Many alien superheroes who were once praised as champions for good like the Martian Manhunter and Starfire were either ousted, forced into hiding, or killed out of sheer paranoia. Those closely associated with them, like Renegade, were treated similarly. Izuku himself is plagued with self-loathing at the start of the story for being an alien, which is only compounded by his lasting guilt complex.

The dragonkins' castle fell and everyone in it was slaughtered, including the royal family. The Dragonkin king, in an attempt to protect his daughter, used memory orbs to create an illusion of the castle, where she daughter would be safe. Centuries later, Shirone is mistaken for the king's daughter. She and all neighboring visitors end up trapped in the illusion. As Shirone grew up in a world of peace, she has no trouble teaming up with the other prisoners (all from a different race), and after witnessing their teamwork, the king's ghost finally realizes that the times have changed and the war is no more. He dismantles the illusion after asking Shirone to cherish this peace.

Great Offscreen War / int_c62995ba	comment	Child of the Storm has a number of these, as a result of major league world building and the sheer scale of the setting. The War of the Nine Realms, between the Alliance of Realms and Surtur, over a million years before the present. The War for the Dawn, between Asgard and her allies and the Dark Elves, about 6000 years prior to the present when the Dark Elves tried to destroy the Nine Realms with the Aether, and rearrange them with the Dark Elves on top. The Avalon Wars, a series of wars between Asgard and Avalon, as the followers of the two respective pantheons clashed, and the two pantheons wound up on collision course (though it's implied that the Avalonians fired the first shot, lashing out at what they saw as encroachment by the followers of the Asgardian gods and Christian missionaries). It ended when the Frost Giants invaded and an Enemy Mine ensued, but it's heavily implied that Asgard was winning and the Avalonians are still carrying a grudge. The Last Great Frost Giant War, with Asgard, Avalon and their human allies (including the ancestors of the founders of Hogwarts) on one side, and the Frost Giants on the other, circa 500 AD. The Avalonians were swept aside early by the might of the Casket (something which Odin puts down to them having been weakened by fighting Asgard), the ancestors of the Founders rallied for the Last Stand, before Asgard played the role of Big Damn Heroes and saved the day. A long war ensured, a world war, and the allied forces won, the Frost Giants were stripped of the Casket of Ancient Winters and Loki was adopted by Odin. Odin's descriptions to Harry of what happened make it sound pretty spectacular, with notable incidents including Aethelstan Gryffindor dueling Laufey with 'swords and magic' and losing a hand (he eventually took up Mjolnir), while leaving scars to remember him by, Prospero Slytherin wielding the wand Laevaeteinn (which is heavily implied to be a fragment of the Phoenix) in a Last Stand so spectacular it retroactively carved out the Grand Canyon.

Evil was led by the Dark King, with many battles whose relics are still left behind in the present. The Six Heroes finally gathered every segment of the Spectrum Key on a quest, causing the defeat of Evil and then sealing it off from the world entirely. Unfortunately, this upset the cosmic balance, so in the time since things have slowly been sliding toward "sumblimation", i.e. destruction by pure Light and Good. Six villains instead have to gather the segments and release Evil for averting this.

Whether seen as history (by the humans) or living memory (by the elves), everyone still recognizes how important the war was. In the setting, it's treated much like World War II is in real life, as a great defining political and cultural event, and the Witchkings are still invoked in rhetoric as the one supreme great evil, somewhat like a sort of fantasy version of Godwin's Law.

Technically, there are a lot more that fit the trope for the Imperial Trust, since it's a minor player located away from the big polities and the main fronts of action.: The War in the Void, fought between the Necrons under the Silent King and the main Tyranid hive fleet. We don't see much of it due to it taking place outside the galaxy, but the Necrons made use of their most destructive superweapons that they don't dare use inside the galaxy for fear of wrecking the place, and the Tyranid hive fleet was a few dozen times larger than the galaxy at its height. The War in Heaven in the backstory. It lasted thousands of years, and things were crazy enough that according to Word of God, the Primarchs, some of the most powerful individuals in the galaxy present-day, would only be second-tier heroes if they were around back then. The Krork aganst the Eternal Conflagration. As of the third Grand Conclave, it is eight hundred Sectors of Krork against a level 4 WAAAAGH! eleven hundred sectors in size englobing them. The (almost) full might of Gork and Mork on one side versus War in Heaven technology on the other. All we know is that 1) The Krork are building Attack Moons and War Worlds. 2) The Orks are attempting to build Attack Moons but are yet to field one and 3) the Krork are confident they'll win.

Great Offscreen War / int_dab32e3	comment	Somewhere between the Mega Man X and Mega Man Zero series, there occurred a great war called the Elf Wars, caused by Dr. Weil corrupting the Mother Elfnote An Energy Being made by reverse engineering Zero's viral data and used by X to purge the Maverick Virus off the earth and combining it with his other creation, the reploid Omega, to make reploids wreck havoc in the entire world, causing death to 60% of all humans and 90% of reploids until Zero and X stopped them in the fourth year. This event has shaped most of the Zero series' world and its characters, and yet info on the war is scarce. This, as it turns out, is intentional - it was such a horrific war that the Neo Arcadian government, built after the war, decided to bury all historical texts and info about the war deep in the ground, and declare anybody who knows it a Maverick, out of fear that "Weil's Sin" will repeat.

The sides of the war were mentioned to be the Trainer Aligned Treaty Organization (consisting of Kanto, the Orange Islands, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, and Orre) and the Fall City Pact (consisting of Fiore, Almia, and Oblivia), with side conflicts originating from one side aiding the traditional enemies of the other, such as the Fall City Pact giving aide to the Draconid Tribe that often was in conflict with the main Hoenn population. What is known about the war is that it was not pretty.

Records of the time are sparse, but it is known that most of the space colonies were either destroyed or left, Earth's environment was ruined, and there was a severe famine that caused even more death. Most of the current society under the rule of Capitol Tower is kept in line out of fear of ever risking such a disaster again.

Great Offscreen War / int_df8856e6	comment	Dungeon Siege II has an ancient war forming the entire background to the plot, although the details are somewhat vague due to the circumstances involved - the war ended when two powerful magical artifacts met which resulted in an Earth-Shattering Kaboom, wiping out everyone involved and reshaping the world right down to changing how magic worked. The game gives various hints about it, but many of these come from an Unreliable Narrator who turns out to be the real Big Bad and was lying about at least some of it all along.

Great Offscreen War / int_e04f934e	comment	Fire Emblem: Three Houses has easily the most war-torn setting in the entire franchise. The land of FÃ³dlan has suffered numerous foreign invasions throughout its almost 1,200 year history, and the continent's three countries have fought their fair share of wars against each other, and put down an even larger number of internal insurrections and rebellions. The most signficant is a war that occurred so far in the backstory none of the characters in the game were alive to witness it, not even the the most long-lived surviving Children of the Goddess. That would be the apocalyptic war between the technologically advanced Agarthans and the goddess Sothis, which sundered the continent, led to the destruction of Agartha, and possibly even the extinction and rebirth of humanity as a whole, as the Agarthan descendants in "those who slither in the dark" repeatedly refer to the humans living on the surface as creations of Sothis.

Other cases include the "Strider Wars" mentioned in Unreal II: The Awakening, which very little is known about save for that one of your crewmates served in the war, and was responsible for setting up a trap for the eponymous Striders that resulted in their defeat. Other conflicts that occurred offscreen include the First Necris Invasion and the Corporation Wars (which may or may not be occurring during the events of Unreal II: The Awakening and Unreal Tournament 3).

Also, the fourth story arc (and first written by Mark Millar) showed us a glimpse of another alternate Earth, which had thirteen continents. A world war that erupted there ended with armies of Adolf X exterminating all non-black people on all of them.

In fact it's not until Serenity that we get a clear picture of what it was actually fought over.note Briefly, a number of worlds declined to join the Union of Allied Planets on the grounds that the economic benefits didn't justify the loss of autonomy, but eventually the Alliance stopped taking no for an answer.

It's obvious it's the First World War, but being a time-traveler, he was unaware. The film loops back to this trope again in the late second act, when the protagonist visits the remnants of a museum's collection kept (however ignorantly) by the Eloi. The "talking rings" recording devices relate the horrific effects, then aftermath, of a cataclysmic global war that ostensibly occurred during the period that the Time Machine was buried in rock. (Speaking as it does of the destruction of oxygen factories and germ warfare, it's unclear whether it is the same war whose nuclear strike the protagonist narrowly avoids in his second "future stop," or one that follows.)

Luke was also a member, until he was expelled for turning into a werewolf, and didn't participate in the Uprising.

Great Offscreen War / int_f6a54e75	comment	The Great Keyblade War in Kingdom Hearts. It took place long before any other point in the game's timeline and was fought between hundreds, if not thousands of different Keyblade bearers, all for the right to form the ultimate weapon and take control of the Cosmic Keystone. The result: the weapon was shattered, the great power hid itself, and barriers rose between the worlds to prevent easy travel. All that remains is an absolutely massive Field of Blades on an otherwise abandoned world. Averted in Kingdom Hearts χ which shows the Keyblade War in all its glory. The game reveals that the war was fought over Lux, the light of the world, and not the Ï‡-Blade and Kingdom Hearts as the legends state. On that note, the Ï‡-Blade doesn't even appear in the war at any point nor is it even mentioned during it or prior to it.

Great Offscreen War / int_f74b5f80	comment	Babylon 5 The Dilgar War, the first major interstellar war that the humans got involved in, as well as the previous Shadow War, which took place around a thousand years previously. We do see a glimpse of that era, mostly just some less advanced looking Minbari ships, but nothing of the war itself. Also the Telepath War. We are shown only before and after. And the first Narn war for independence from the Centauri, about 100 years prior to the beginning of the series. Along with the numerous wars the Centauri Republic was waging with its neighbors in the third season, none of which are seen, or indeed the numerous smaller wars between the members of the League of Nonaligned Worlds in the same season. There are also allusions to various minor conflicts that the Earth Alliance took part in. Not to mention the Earth Minbari War, which we heard much about, but saw little of, until the prequel movie In The Beginning. Also, the Drakh War, of which we see practically nothing due the spin-off telling it getting Screwed by the Network. Other important conflicts are the other Shadow Wars, the war against the Thirdspace Aliens, the one against whoever created The Hand (purpoted to be the Thirdspace Aliens in the Expanded Universe), and the genocidal war between the Centauri and their co-worlder race the Xon. Discussed by Garibaldi in an introspective moment in season 5 as things move towards war with the Centauri. To paraphrase, he wonders aloud why we always divide history by the wars, not by the periods of peace, and comes to the conclusion that wars are just more fun. Played With in one episode when Marcus & Dr. Franklin were being smuggled to Mars. The Earth Alliance kept out of the Vorlon-Shadow war, so from the perspective of most humans this is the case. Marcus even (sarcastically) lamented coming home as a war hero in a war nobody ever heard about.

The latter plays the bigger role in the backstory of the series as it provides the reasons for the Whirlwind Rebellion that happens in the second volume.

Great Offscreen War / int_f7d93e4a	comment	The Assassin's Creed series makes reference to a war that occurred tens of thousands of years ago in the First Civilization, between Those Who Came Before and the humans they used as slaves. This war is never detailed, but is instead used as a context to explain how the Half Human Hybrids "Adam and Eve" became Phlebotinum Rebels and stole the secret of the Pieces of Eden. And then their civilization was wiped out by a solar flare, making the whole thing moot. Later games also establish the Isu had their own war, dubbed "the War of Unification". Valhalla has characters in the Asgard storyline mention a war between the Aesir and Vanir, which only ended when Odin and Freyja reluctantly married. Whether this has any relation to the War of Unification is unclear, given the Asgard memories are not an accurate depiction of events as they happened.

Great Offscreen War / int_fab472d2	comment	Dark Souls: The war against the Everlasting Dragons, which lead to the founding of Lordran and the prosperity of human kingdoms. Only one character who lived through it will remark on his experiences, which are mainly tinged with sorrow that he now that it's over, his purpose as a dragon slayer is now finished as well. Briefly mentioned is the war against the demons of Lost Izalith. Where Gwyn personally led his knights to exterminate the Chaos Demons created by the Witch's attempt to recreate the First Flame. This war ended and failure, and all that's known is that the Black Knights came into being after the Flames of Chaos corrupted them and made their weapons more deadly to demons. The lore makes the occasional mention of an event called the "Occult Rebellion" where a group of humans or giants made war upon the gods of Anor Londo using forbidden weaponry that channeled Dark. The only name tied to this event was Havel The Rock, who was apparently exiled. The ember used to make the weapons was hidden in the Painted World and the entire conflict, as well as it's participants, was otherwise erased from history.

At least not until Fear the Walking Dead, where it becomes apparent that the military lost because they (or at least the National Guard in LA) were incompetent and evil. A recording played in a much later episode indicates that for some reason, the National Guard and regular army started fighting each other in the middle of this too. The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live later clarifies that the infighting between the National Guard and US Military was the result of the Guard refusing to go along with the federal government's orders to bomb major cities in a futile attempt to contain the Zombie Apocalypse.

Great Offscreen War / int_fb9c177d	comment	Transformers has this to varying degrees, the Cartoon itself is a straight example, as the war has restarted on Earth and the million-year war on Cybertron is only alluded to. The war between the Autobots and the Decepticons in Transformers: Animated. By the time the series starts, the war is over, with the Autobots having won and the Decepticons scattered to the far reaches of space. The first flashback material was repurposed clips from The Transformers Generation One. We later see some flashbacks from Ratchet's perspective. Transformers: Generation 1 contains references to the Third and Fourth Great (or "Cybertronian") Wars, the assumption being that there were a first and second. (They're probably in the fourth one. Or the fifth, if you consider the ending of The Transformers: The Movie to be the end of that particular war.) In the Generation 1 episode "Sea Change", Perceptor mentions a "Third Cybertron War". Apparently separate from the Third Cybertronian War. Though given the context, it's not clear. At some point in the process of writing some of the later spin-off comics, the writers appear to have decided that all the above were effectively one single conflict with occasional lulls or ceasefires, thus handily allowing any confusion over which war a particular character happened to be referencing at the time to be Hand Waved as the Cybertronians having trouble keeping track as well: If the only actual peace was the occasional short interlude where everyone was busy rearming they'd have to start blurring together after a while. In Transformers: EarthSpark, the Transformers War is central to the setting and the backstory of several characters including Dot Malto, a veteran of the war and friend to a reformed Megatron, and Dr. Meridian, who has sworn to wipe out all Cybertronians after losing his arm in an attack on San Francisco.

The war itself was represented as a stand-alone board game only. It produced some interesting novels set in the aftermath of the War where characters often have to deal with the consequences, but the canon version of the war itself is relatively obscure.

Bryyo's Reptilicus civilization tore itself apart with a civil war between the traditionalist Primals and the Science Lords, super geniuses who looked upon the Primals with disdain. This war also did serious damage to Bryyo. Bear in mind, this was before the Leviathan hit the planet. The player learns about this war from lore scans dotted around Bryyo. The War of Liberation on Wotan VII, which is mentioned in Ghor's backstory. As a result of the injuries he received in that conflict, he was rebuilt as a cyborg, with only 6% of his original body still intact.
