Sundering

Sundering is the name typically applied to civil wars and other internal conflicts within the Volkar Stellar Imperium. The Imperium has experienced many Sunderings throughout its history, with the name being variously applied to conflicts ranging from large-scale, decades-long civil wars, to minor, day-long skirmishes and instances of political intrigue.

Among the most historically important Sunderings are:
 * The Great Sundering, from 1476 to 1499
 * The Sundering of 2101, from 2101 to 2103, also simply called the Sundering
 * The Volkar Civil War, from 2267 to 2272, rarely also called the Great Sundering
