Halcyon - Ortarian Cold War

The Halcyon - Ortarian Cold War was a period of HCC geopolitical tension between the National Reikist Imperium and Clan Orta and their respective allies. The period is generally considered to span from July 11 2017 when NRI ended their alliance with Clan Orta to the Battle of Outpost Geneva on December 2 2017, beginning the Halcyon - Ortarian War. The term "cold" is used because there was no large scale fighting during this time, with each trying to struggle for community influence and power. The struggle for dominance was carried through means of proxy conflicts, propaganda, embargoes and espionage on both sides.
