	"The war’s already started. The coreward border is seeing action now. Mostly pirates, if I’m reading between the lines correctly.

If it’s Chatcaava, I’ll wager it’s diversionary. That area’s too far from them to be a good staging platform for a serious initiative.”		While it was the Chatcaavan plan to distract the Alliance with pirate activity (thus, the alliance with [[Kamaney Foster\|Kamaney]]), it's unclear whether Fleet was in agreement over whether that activity constituted the war's beginning, though of course, everyone was free to have their own opinion. [[Maia]]'s, divulged to [[Sediryl Nuera Galare\|Sediryl]] before her departure for [[Sharsenne]]: "The war’s already started. The coreward border is seeing action now.

	However, not much later, she adds, “There’s a bulletin out to all shipping. Fleet’s declared a Finite-1 war status. [..] There are only four of those conditions. One’s a warning. At condition 2 and 3, they’ll start upping taxes to help pay for the war effort. At Infinite, everything’s suspended that isn’t devoted to winning the war.

			The war warning is suggestive of dissent in the upper echelons between those who though the pirates were the forerunners of the Chatcaava, and those who didn't but were willing to compromise, at least to the extent of telling people to be careful.

			=== Timeline ===
			All of these are guesstimates.

			* The news of Second's attack on Tam-ley arrives the day after the Emperor's duel at Apex-East.
			* The Emperor says they'll need one week to go from the duel to the Throneworld to retake it from the Usurper, but he ends up leaving a day after "three-quarters" of the way through the week, when he received the packet that contains the Throneworld's realtime defense data.
			* They have travel time to the Throneworld. (Not sure how long.)
			* The battle at the Throneworld takes one day and happens on the day of their fleet's arrival to the Throneworld System. Lisinthir leaves that evening for the Alliance to promise the Emperor's aid to their cause.
			* The Emperor spends "days" on the Throneworld, while he quells the riots on the planet and the Admiral-Offense cleans up the fights in the system with the Usurper's remaining partisans.
			* They head for Selnor the day after the Queen Ransomed arrives to the throneworld with the Twelveworld Lord's levies, and have travel time to reach it.
			* Lisinthir claims they haven't been "gone long" on the day the system lords finally attack Selnor.

			This would fit the entire "start" and "end" of the war (if Second's attack and the Battle at Selnor are assumed to be the initiation and end points) within a month at most. Probably more like 2.5-3 weeks.
