| For the past thirteen years, hostilities have been fierce. Weapons of mass destruction ((Although the cataclysmic WMD which ended New Prima has not been seen again)) have led to rapid back-and-forth shifting of frontlines. Overall achievements remain unclear and multiple peace negotiations have stalled. The battle fronts remain grossly similar to those at the war's start: the Elysian government controls almost all of their historical areas. Many remote outposts have changed hands multiple times. The Tel still claim control of NevTyun---they would defend their star's reach to the death---but the borders are fiercely contested; Elysian fleets encroach on the outer asteroid belts. With their superior stealth technology, punitive hostilities against shipping lines have led to starvation and poverty in multiple Tel planets. Billions of lives have been extinguished in the most ferocious [[npcs:zhar_ro|battles]]. The conflict continues unabated. | For the past thirteen years, hostilities have been fierce.
