The Golden War was fought in the Golden Branch by the the Autonomous Diaspora and the People’s Conglomerate of Orion together against the Empire of Apostolos, eventually defeating them on the planet Counterweight.

The Myth

As the story is told, at the end of the Golden War, it was a rigger pilot—Jace Rethal—and a Candidate—Addax, who controlled the Divine Peace—who sacrificed themselves to stop a terrible plot by the Apostolosian Empire that would have doomed not only Counterweight, but many other cities, planets, and stars. But instead of destruction, there was life: When the light from the explosion cleared, a new celestial body hung in the sky: They called it Weight. A perfect planet, now cautiously inhabited by a small group from both the OriCon and the Diaspora.

The Mission

The truth of the war is more complicated, culminating in a joint mission including not only OriCon and the Diaspora, but also the Rapid Evening and defecting Apostolosians who come together to stop the Apostolosian Empire from deploying a super weapon.^[1]

Key members of this mission include

Orth Godlove, former member of the Queen's Gambit
Natalya Greaves, secret member of the Rapid Evening and designer of the Kingdom Come
Jace Rethal, a famous OriCon pilot of the Panther
Addax Dawn, the candidate of Peace from the Autonomous Diaspora
Sokrates Nikon Artemisios, the second child of House Pelagios, and defector from the Apostolosian Empire
Tea Kenridge, the leader of the elite OriCon squad, the Queen's Gambit

They team is later joined by Ibex and Righteousness.

The Aftermath

While the team is successful, the planet Counterweight is devastated at the same time that an idyllic sister planet known as Weight is created. After losing the war, the Apostolosian Empire begins to decline and within a decade would be overthrown in a coup to and become the Golden Demarchy. The rest of the Golden Branch sector is occupied primarily by OriCon and the Diaspora, along with a handful of planets fighting to stay independent from the rule of the three great powers.
