Worlds At War: An Illustrated Study of Interplanetary Conflict

'Worlds at War' records the battles that have already taken place in the dark and airless wastes of space, describes the reasons behind them, the events which followed and the final outcome of each confrontation between the Galactic Federation and its enemies. Only three major wars have taken place during the last 150 years but each of them threatened the security of the hundreds of inhabited planets and make up the Galactic Federation, and each of them demanded considerable sacrifices from the brave creatures who offer their lives in defense of their fellows.

The 'Galactic Encounters' series is produced by the Federal Data Bureau, which was formed in 2168 as a division of the Galactic Information Service in order to provide a comprehensive service for space travelers.
