Template:UnderConstruction Template:War The Alsace Colonial Wars (284–298) was the first major conflict involving the Hapes Consortium and took place in the early years of the First Expansion Era. The Consortium had set out to explore and annex other systems within the Hapes Cluster, resulting in the discovery of the Alsace system in 283.
