Pacifica–Polaris Dispute

The Pacific-Polaris Dispute (sometimes also dubbed, DisOrderly Conduct) is a conflict that erupted between the New Pacific Order and the New Polar Order in late June. This dispute, like the Moldavi Rebellion, once again tests the relationship that is shared between the Orders.



Build-Up
Just before the Dispute began, rumors began to circulate that the Orders were preparing for a war with one another. However the only evidence used to back up these claims were the treaties being signed, which led to many of these rumors being dismissed.

Signs of Division
This gossip remained unsubstantiated until two people, intent on leaving the game with a bang, revealed logs of several high-profile leaders discussing their moves for the future, some of which included plans for an inter-Order dispute.

Joint Imperial Decree
The Orders were quick to dismiss these claims, even though many of these logs were confirmed to be real. NPO and NpO issued a statement later that reaffirmed their commitment to the Ordinance of Order.

Beginning of the Dispute
While it can be argued that underlying tensions have existed between the Orders since the Moldavi Rebellion, or even earlier, true strain on relations between the two has not manifested itself openly until the New Polar Order's expulsion from the One Vision bloc.

Expulsion from One Vision
Feeling that the New Polar Order no longer shared the same opinions and goals as those in One Vision, the Grand Global Alliance initiated the expulsion article of the One Vision treaty and submitted the notion to expell the NpO from the bloc. The GGA succeeded in it's goal, with both IRON and NPO supporting their move.

A short time later, both MCXA and Echelon withdrew from BLEU and were admitted to One Vision.

VE-NpO Tensions
Prior to the tensions of the Pacific-Polaris Dispute, the Viridian Entente had cancelled their treaty with the New Polar Order. While originally only declaring neutrality in the NpO-FIST War, the Entente later revoked it's MADP with the NpO after seeing how the events of the war unfolded. VE felt that the NpO had not given them enough warning and had unfairly attacked it's ally and no longer considered Polaris to be a friend.

Shortly after the above events transpired, Ardus, Lord of the Viridian Entente, approached Electron Sponge about Chickenzilla, an ex-VE member who was accused of espionage. Emperor Sponge's response was less than friendly, going to the point of threatening their former ally. In response to this move, many alliances began to cancel their treaties with the NpO. The New Polar Order proceeded to lose some of its oldest allies.

After Doitzel and Corinan's topics were posted, Emperor Sponge of NpO stated his own opinions and retold the events from his perspective. In retaliation, Dilber of NPO posted a timeline and list of transgressions by Polaris. Many other individual statements have been released since.
