I don't want to sound lazy, but where is the exact lore on the War of Retribution?

No official post about it yet. It is mentioned throughout a few character sheets. This might be a good opportunity to use the Historical Database... 

 Basically, the War of Retribution was when the Luak Tae scrounged up a fleet of Outer Alliance forces and fought back against the Golgotha after failing to secure a peace negotiation. Some things that happened during the War:
[list]
[*]The war was started by the Resurgent Mandate, a semi-religious sect of Golgothans hell-bent on destroying 'inferior' races. 
[*]The Core Worlds of the Llyr Empire were utterly destroyed.
[*]The Archon Severis Velian, who had an impeccable reputation among the Golgothans, ultimately betrayed the Mandate, baiting them into a trap where the main Mandate fleet was crushed. 
[*]The Kaldasa system (Velian Concordance) was sacked, reduced to ruin. 
[*]The Mandates main industrial world, Sevara, was besieged by Outer Alliance forces but was ultimately repelled. Most of the Luak Tae Fleet was destroyed here. 
[/list]

 That's all I can think of for now. Anyone can add 'lore' to the War as long as it maintains the shared narrative of events that have led up to the current in-game time.
