Second Volkar Civil War

The Second Volkar Civil War, also called the Last Sundering, was a major conflict fought between the newly-founded Volkar Stellar Commonwealth, the Stellar Imperium of Julau, and the Alliance of Pol Utesk from 2341 to 2346. The conflict was largely continuous from the Volkar Revolutionary Wars; the dividing point between the Revolutionary Wars and the Civil War was the final defeat of forces loyal to the Imperial House Rhych and the foundation of the Volkar Stellar Commonwealth in 2341.

From 2341 until 2345, the Civil War was largely uneventful, with most fighting being waged between the Alliance of Pol Utesk and the Stellar Imperium of Julau. The newly-founded Commonwealth was bottlenecked behind the Fouahiri Strait, which was under the control of the Alliance, and was preoccupied with internal problems related to its new form of government and the independence movement of the Shantarak Occupation Zone. The fighting between the Alliance and the Stellar Imperium of Julau was mostly indecisive.

The Commonwealth's capture of the Fouahiri Strait following the Second Battle of the Fouahiri Strait in 2346 allowed the Commonwealth to finally defeat the Stellar Imperium of Julau in 2346, and the Alliance of Pol Utesk in 2347.

The Commonwealth controversially received major support throughout the Civil War from the Gorf People's Republic during the Fouahiri Operation, though Gorf forces were withdrawn after the victory at the Second Battle of the Fouahiri Strait. There were rumors in the Alliance of Pol Utesk and the Stellar Imperium of Julau, and indeed also in the Commonwealth itself, that the Commonwealth's war effort was being discreetly aided by the Emorian Union, though these rumors were unfounded.
