The Scholars' Strife was a conflict that followed The Second Emperor's War. It was a war where the ownership of the Scepters was disputed.[1]
Description[]
After Rubert II's death, with the IPC's supervision, the Emperor's legacy, the Scepter system, was completely inherited by the Intelligentsia Guild. This legacy that far surpassed human intelligence fueled rumors among the schools — With the Scepters' computational power, they could create a perfect scholar that swore allegiance to them, a genius belonging to the Intelligentsia Guild possessing unlimited life, inexhaustible knowledge repository, and endless research tools.
To realize this goal, and for the interests of the various schools, the Scholars' Strife lifted its curtains.
To contend for even more Scepter allocation, the various schools, with the School of Interstellar Energy Resources at the head, attacked one another to get more shares of the legacy. What was once a purely scientific pursuit gradually devolved into some cloak-and-dagger competition, and with the intervention of the IPC and other external powers, a shadow of a proxy war was cast over the Scholars' Strife. The Guild's knowledge and ideals were no longer pure, leaving only ugly conflicts behind.
The Intelligentsia Guild's internal strife brought many opportunities for History Fictionologists. In this current era, historical records related to the Scholars' Strife have been distorted beyond recognition. The only piece of truth that people can glean is that the Scepters were completely disabled during the war. The legacy rotted under uncertain circumstances, and the war came to a close in a chaotic mess of unresolved conflicts.
The farcical war left almost nothing of value behind. Only one lone seeker of knowledge left behind the "solitary waves theory conundrum" for future generations at the end of their relentless pursuit, the only treasure that bore fruit after the dust settled.
Background[]
Rubert II created a system called the Scepters System. It is a cluster of inorganic bionic neurons which functioned as his external brain. They were widely distributed across the Machine Empire to complete the observations, extrapolations, and interference orders passed on by Rubert II. After the Second Emperor's War, numerous Scepter units were handed over to the Intelligentsia Guild by the IPC for research.[1][2]
It had incredible computational power as even just a fraction of it would alleviate a lot of work and speed up research progress by a significant amount.[2] One singular Scepter could be the size of a planet.[3]
To come to an agreement on the distribution of the Scepters, the Guild decided to hold a Futurological Congress on Sipohia. It was decided that whoever possessed the most valuable research and could solve greater problems would own the Scepters. But with the Interstellar Energy War, as well as the animosity and ambitions between the various schools, it sparked the Scholars' Strife.[1]
Aftermath[]
After the Scholars' Strife, everything was destroyed and the scepters became nothing more than tourist attractions and space junk.[3]
