Irakasan War

"Four colonies, gone. Nothing. No bodies, no ruins, no scraps of paper. Every colony, it just looks like everybody got up in the middle of the meals and left. Nothing missing, food still on the table. We'd began the forth day of searching when the earth just erupted from beneath us.... and the bugs just came swarming out...."

- Anonymous UNSC Serviceman during the incident on Dis Prime.

The Irakasan War was a relatively short, but brutal war, waged between the near hidden hives of the Irakasan and the joint AUR forces. The war ended in a bloody slatemate, and eventual armistice, with suspected millions of casualties suffered by the Irakasan, compared to the 'mere' 30,000 of the allied forces, with untold civilian casualties and prisoners.
