Waymancy Storm

The Waymancy Storm was a conflict fought in 7811 BBY between the Galactic Republic and the Signatories of Waymancy. It originated with a disastrous first contact between the Republic and warships associated with the Waymancy Hollow region, inside which the Sisters of the Machinesmith had improved on Republic technology for a millennium. The war was fought in the northern area of the region known as the Rim, and the forces of the Signatories of Waymancy targeted both the Republic's military assets and its civilian settlers, with the Signatories' significant technological superiority leading to high losses for the Republic.

Eventually, however, the Republic achieved scientific breakthroughs while attempting to reverse-engineer captured enemy weaponry and starship generators. The resultant technological innovations, along with the high morale among the Republic citizens, allowed it to emerge victorious over the Signatories of Waymancy, with the object known as the Waymancy bridal seat being reduced to a hyperspace sinkhole in the process. The victory in the Waymancy Storm was celebrated annually in the Republic for at least twenty-five years, with the Republic's Supreme Chancellor Nagratha delivering a speech that gave an account of the conflict at the celebration in 7786 BBY. Overall, the Waymancy Storm introduced a major wave of improvements in various technologies, eventually leading to a golden age of warship construction across the galaxy.
