It's not the most wanted page, but it is up there, and considering how important it is to season 1 it should have something up. I think all the links work as is, but if it gets approved more or less as is, I'll post it and check.
The time line and descriptions are cobbled together from what I can find on the wiki and what I remember from various threads here.
The Boskone War is the name given to the first large scale organized armed conflict in space. Officially it ran from March 2012 to January 2014This covers [[Season 1] of the Fenspace timeline.. It started when the [[SOS-dan] called [[SOS-Con] to deal with the newly realized threat of organized reavers assaulting Fen outposts and ships towards the [[Main Belt] and ended with the fall of '''Boskone Prime'''.
==History==
The organization and conduct of reaver raids began much earlier than [[SOS-Con] and fragments of the 'original' [[Boskonian] organization survived the official end of the war, though their operations were scaled back both due to lost resources and the desire to avoid [[Great Justice] and the [[Space Patrol].
The [[Crime in Fenspace|boskonian organization] had their origins in both [[Earth]bound organized crime and homegrown Fenish criminals. The lawless environment of Fenspace seemed to be an ideal place to expand operations into. However, there really wasn't much to steal or extort from anybody.
This changed with two discoveries. [[Thionite] was synthesized from the byproducts of several [[Venus Terraforming Project|Venusian terraforming bacteria] and the [[Catgirling Machine] was developed.
The production of an addictive drug, especially one who's production could be completely controlled was of immense interest to the small, but ambitious zwilniks.
While the [[Catgirling Machine] finally offered a solution to a question unethical people had been asking since biomodding had been discovered. Could you use [[Handwavium|'wavium] to reliably edit a person's mind and body? Despite the production of Furries, the [[Catgirling Machine] offered the zwilnik's the chance to produce appropriately docile slave women en-mass for various markets on [[Earth].
It was the increased assaults on main belt colonies, gondoliers and mining operations that brought the existence of an organized enemy to the attention of Fenspace in general and the [[SOS-dan] in particular.
The Fenish response, creating [[Great Justice], was initially seen as somewhat laughable and influenced some of the Boskonian Leaders to believe they could conquer Fenspace by shattering the major factions. This proved harder than they had anticipated, but [[Great Justice|OGJ's] initial ineffectiveness kept their confidence high.
The Fall of [[Crystal Osaka] was one of the major events of the war, and was considered a blow by both sides. The Fen for the loss of life and the city, the Boskonians for the loss in [[Thionite] production and associated revenue and the loss of several ships and their crews.
The Zwilnik's targeted the [[Main Belt] based factions heavily, as they tend to be the farthest from immediate support. The [[Pirates], the [[Ninja] and the [[Wizards] all suffered repeated attacks, with the [[Wizards] coming off the worst as they were the least militant of the three. However, both [[Pirate Island] and [[Hidden Asteroid] came under attack during the war and the [[Ninja] lost a number of genin teams and their instructors early in the war, before they understood the organized threat they were facing.
One of the consequences of the war is the large number of Cat girls among the [[Pirates] and [[Ninja]. However, not every catgirled prisoner recovered enough to be functional, and not all of those who did wanted to go back to their original faction.
The [[Interdimensional Incursion Incident] occurred in May 2013 during the war, and resulted in the creation of what has become known as the [[Whole Fenspace Catalog]. Rumours of the catalog's contents and that a copy would be available at [[Fenspace Convention|Serenity Con] lead to the Boskonians launching a major assault at the [[Fenspace Convention|con]. They had hoped to capture the catalog and decapitate the Fenish leadership by killing the [[Glossary#S|SMOF]'s gathered there.
The attack on [[Fenspace Convention|Serenity Con] was beaten off, though not easily, and [[Great Justice] was reorganized. The [[Space Patrol] was created and [[Great Justice] was streamlined and made more efficient.
Four months after the [[Fenspace Convention|Serentity Con] attack [[Great Justice|OGJ] and the [[Space Patrol|Patrol's] intelligence services had severely damaged Boskonian operations and located their largest base, Boskone Prime. They also learned that the [[Boskonian]'s were planning another major strike and were gathering ships.
Fleet Action Attila destroyed the gathered [[Boskonian] fleet and laid siege to Boskone Prime. The asteroid colony fell to Fenish forces a week later, heralding the end to two years of war.
