The resource wars began in 2041 and ended in 2050, not with a treaty, but with the discovery that the planet had stopped cooperating. Cold by the Core Era.
Operator Tactics opens with the sentence: the resource wars began in 2041 and ended in 2050, not with a treaty, but with the discovery that the planet had stopped cooperating. Climates inverted, coastlines moved, new ecologies grew over old battlefields. By the Core Era the wars are cold and the factions fight through proxies. The era boundary of the Upheaval (2042) is unchanged by this record; see CL-010.
Ruled · CL-010
The era boundary stands at 2042 (OD-07, CL-002). The Operator Tactics front matter dates the resource wars, 2041 to 2050, which went cold when the climate consequences of the Upheaval matured; 'the Upheaval' in that sentence is the loose usage, not a second end date.
