The Saharan Water War

The Obsidian Wardens hold the Saharan water treatment plants against the Sons of the Serpent. The Sons lost, and never stopped being interested in PCU water infrastructure.

Field record

The Obsidian Wardens, gene-forged on African leopards, wild dogs and mountain gorillas, held the water treatment plants against the Sons of the Serpent. The Sons lost and left a sabotage protocol in the Southern Processing control system that may still work. Their cell leadership is partly still active and the PCU has a reasonably accurate profile of it. The docx dated the war 2099; the Saharan Oasis sandbox remembers it from the 2066 present, so it is 2060 (CL-014).

Ruled · CL-014

One war, 2060. The Saharan Oasis sandbox is the 2066 present (CL-007, CL-009) and remembers the war as past; the Hubs & Cities print edition already carries 2060. The docx's 2099 is superseded.
