GATO-1V War was a war in the spring of 2008 between One Vision, Continuum, OUT against GATO, Imperial Assault Alliance (1st), Commonwealth of Sovereign Nations, United Sovereign Nations and Commie Volunteer Force. The war ended with GATO and allies surrendering and Imperial Assault Alliance (1st) disbanded rather than surrendering.

Abstract[]
The New Pacific Order discovered that the Global Alliance and Treaty Organization had unknowingly taken on Chris Kaos as a member and government official, in direct violation of the terms of GATO's surrender from the Third Great War. In retaliation, NPO and its One Vision allies declared war, followed by MDP partners on both sides.
It should be noted that GATO originally planned to peacefully hand over Kaos for his crimes, but the New Pacific Order instead chose to declare war.
Naming the War[]
Since this conflict is in some ways an epilogue to Great War Three, several in the cyberverse feel a name featuring the term epilogue would be appropriate. Alternatively, since one of the alliances engaged is Star Wars-themed, and since the war began during NPO's Star Wars Month, some feel a name referencing Star Wars would be appropriate. Until a name can be settled upon, GATO-1V War is being used. Specific serious suggestions include Great War III - Epilogue The Unifacation War (a reference to the Sci-fi series Firefly) and The Epilogue War. Additionally, some individual NPO nations have used Order 66 in their declarations, a reference to Star Wars. Another suggestion is Episode 3 (Part 2) Return of Kaos
The Kaos Incident[]
The surrender terms given to GATO at the conclusion of the Third Great War in April, 2007 stipulated that GATO leader Chris Kaos be stripped of power and barred from holding it in the future. From June to September 2007, however, Kaos served in GATO's government under the pseudonym Alexander_Gladius.
