The First Beta Arm War was a sub-galactic war that lasted from 22 BGA to 3 BGA. The war was fought between the Republic of Traskarn and the alliance of the former People's Republic of Jerlarta (now the Jerlarta Republic) and the Assadan Kingdom.
The People's Republic of Jerlarta and the Assadan Kningdom sought to take control of the Republic of Traskarn as the economies of the two galactic nations had been deteriorating whilst the GDP of the comparatively small Republic of Traskarn had been increasing. The Traskarian people had become despised by the Jerlata and Assadan population and were blamed for the economic trouble. The Traskarian territory was seen to be profitable so the leader of the People's Republic of Jerlarta, Frald Brenkolv, and Ganralda XIV of Assadan agreed to invade the Republic of Traskarn to solve their economic woes, this plan would ultimately fail as the two countries poorly managed the resourses on the captured planets and also because the economy of the Republic of Traskarn was mostly service based, furthermore, the most industrialised planets with large mining and manufacturing based economies where located on the opposite side of the country to the two invading forces and were therefore not attacked until 10 BGA when the Beta Arm War was integrated with the Pan Galactic War and small scale skirmishes broke out along that border but without any large-scale invasion.
The war ended in 3 BGA after a Traskarn push towards the Jerlata and Assadan borders that began in 4 BGA immediately after the Battle of Bretarn.
