'''The War for Lugh''' started when [[President of the Federation|Federal President]] [[Jasmina Halsey]]declared war against the Crimson State Group of the [[Lugh]] system on March 13, 3301. The Crimson State Group had been seeking to take control of Lugh and declare its independence from the [[Federation]]. Halsey decided to send the new [[Farragut Battle Cruiser]] FNS Nevermore to fight in Lugh for its maiden flight.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/f7fd2137c685cd53746e3bf1f8ba72428ee58504 GalNet News - 13 March 3301]</ref> | |||
The Crimson State group had lobbied for help from the [[Alliance of Independent Systems]], to provide military aid and combat ready pilots. [[Alliance Prime Minister]] [[Edmund Mahon]] refused to aid the Crimson State Group, arguing that [[Lugh]] was legally ruled by the [[Federation]], hence the Crimson State Group did not rule a functioning independent state that would be a legitimate target for Alliance military aid.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5b1b39824259c8b598bc46b271181efea1d29c4d Alioth Warns Lugh They Stand Alone]</ref> | The Crimson State group had lobbied for help from the [[Alliance of Independent Systems]], to provide military aid and combat ready pilots.

The Federation received false intelligence that [[Éamonn Uí Laoghire]], leader of the Crimson State Group, was aboard an unarmed refugee convoy near Lugh 6. Halsey ordered Federal pilots to attack the convoy. An estimated 9,322 innocent Federal civilians died in the attack. Halsey's approval rating fell to 26% and [[Shadow President]] [[Zachary Hudson]] swore there would be an investigation into the attack.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/23-MAR-3301 Galnet reports from the day of the strike on the Federal Refugees]</ref> | The Federation received false intelligence that [[Éamonn Uí Laoghire]], leader of the Crimson State Group, was aboard an unarmed refugee convoy near Lugh 6.

The mercenary force of the game started to come into play. Since there were no credits to be had for the players that wanted to fight, they started working on the Crimson State Group Fighting CG. The efforts of these people put credits into their pockets and actually allowed CSG to finish their Fighting Community Goal, roughly 4-8 hours faster than the Federation would have finished their Trade Goal. This immediately ended the war, and prompted the removal of the Federation military, as well as some minor political changes to the game. | The mercenary force of the game started to come into play.
