Galactic War I was started when the Corstantian Republic, which had been itching for war for a few years, faked an attack on Research Installation Y-82. It was attacked by Corstantian forces who disguised their IFF signals to be Azaranian warships. They quickly bombarded the installation, killing all. However, they neglected to kill the signal tower, which allowed the scientists to get out a message to Corstantian High Command about the attack. It Corstantian people, enraged such a thing had happened, rallied behind the government and military for a full war against the Azaranian.
