War of the Spheres

The War of the Spheres was a conflict between the Free Space Alliance, which was a coalition composed of most spacefaring races of Realmspace, Greyspace, and Krynnspace, and the twelve crystal spheres under control of the Vodoni Empire.

Location
The early stages of the war consisted of small incursions by vodoni ships into the three free crystal spheres as a prelude to invasion. The late stages of the war were fought within Vodonispace, the crystal sphere containing the seat of emperor Vulkaaran and the main command center for the planned vodoni invasion.

The command center of the Free Space Alliance was the Rock of Bral in the Tears of Selûne.

Battle
In the early days of the war, the armada Arrow of Justice, commanded by admiral Icarus of Realmspace, had intercepted several vodoni attacks, but always too late to be of any help. In one such attempt, the ship intercepted a group of adventurers with valuable information on the vodoni. The Arrow of Justice promptly escorted them to the Rock of Bral to participate in the first meeting of the Free Space Alliance in order to assess the threat of a vodoni invasion.

The intelligence collected by the scout mission indicated that the Vodoni were preparing for a full-scale invasion of the three crystal spheres. The Alliance then launched a preemptive strike into Vodonispace in order to stop the invasion before it began.

Combatants
The Free Space Alliance was led by the Arrow of Justice. Its forces included large contingents of humans, elves, dwarves, and gnomes, as well as smaller numbers of mind flayers, beholders, lizardfolk, ogres, and, initially, neogi.

In the late stages of the war, the neogi switched sides and turned against the Alliance.
