Poor Pantheon is a conflict that began on May 4, 2019 after Pantheon declared several wars on Nova Riata.
History
Nova Riata was founded in September 2018 under the protection of The Knights Radiant. Within less than a month of the alliance's foundation, Knightfall broke out with Nova Riata not initially being involved in the war. After just a few days, however, Pantheon and several of its protectorates launched several attacks against Nova Riata and Statesmen, outnumbering them heavily. While Nova Riata managed to defeat two of its opponents during the war (Sirius and The Crimson Entente), the alliance still surrendered alongside The Knights Radiant and its allies at the end of Knightfall.
Following Knightfall, several alliances pursued new diplomatic paths which included the breakup of The Inquisition and the formation of Chaos. Pantheon's only remaining MDoAP partner, The Syndicate, signed a new treaty with New Pacific Order. In return, The Syndicate announced on April 8, 2019 that it would end its cooperation with Pantheon, granting it one more month of protection.
Following The Syndicate's announcement, Pantheon was unable to find new partners to work with. Approximately a week prior to the war, Nova Riata and its MDoAP partner The Federation started to militarize. Assuming that Nova Riata was seeking revenge for Pantheon's actions during Knightfall, Pantheon preemptively attacked Nova Riata on May 4, 2019 before update. Nova Riata and The Federation countered these attacks. Church of Spaceology and The Knights Radiant both joined the war with two nations each in order to aid Nova Riata with Pantheon's top tier which they were unable to reach.
Shortly after the war broke out, The Syndicate cancelled its treaty with Pantheon. Left with no protection, several individual members from numerous alliances filled the remaining slots on Pantheon's members without any official declarations of war.
