Most of Earth’s nations were busy building new designs as we approached the year 2300. It was two centuries since we had entered space. It was one century after Contact. For the Chinese it was the beginning of their Sixth Millennium. We all had reasons to want to build newer and better war machines. And we sold our older machines to poorer nations, worlds, or corporations. Others ended their front line service lives in bone yards or reserve units. They were too expensive to upgrade via standard refit procedures. The War gave us a reason to reexamine our priorities.
