Wars are structured - they have a lead-up, a duration, and an end. They are not free-for-all deathmatches. They are organized conflicts with rules, commands, and consequences.

			== War-Capable ==
			Any player can declare war on any other player, with a few additional rules:

			* To declare war, both sides must have an identifiable '''Leader'''. This is who your conflict centers around and who has the responsibility of orchestrating your side of the war.
			* If your Leader is killed, the opposition can send a ceasefire that '''will auto-accept itself after''' '''5 minutes'''. (Ceasefires open the war GUI on the receivers side to help see it)
			* Declaring war does not mean you have permission to enter the oppositions base/territory. For that you will need Raid permissions.

			This means that players can:

			* Declare a Civil War on each other, should your current commander of your faction be sub-par.
			* Engage in smaller, but still formal and structured, conflicts including Wastelander Vs Wastelander wars.
			* Resolve a potentially costly and uneven war by securing the opposition's Leader and sending an immediate ceasefire.



			Every member of the [[New California Republic\|NCR]], [[Caesar's Legion\|Legion]], [[Brotherhood of Steel]], [[Wasteland Tribes\|Yuma Tribal]], [[Vault Dwellers\|Vault]], and [[Minor Factions\|Enclave]] all auto-join whatever war they're involved with.

	~~== War-Capable Factions ==~~
	~~Only the following factions may declare or receive war declarations:~~
	~~{\| class="wikitable" style="background:#141414; color:#d0d0d0; border:1px solid #aa3333; width:60%;"~~

			== Raids ==
			Raids are a last resort to solve a conflict.

			A raid, as defined by server rules: "Is an organized, hostile occupation by one faction/player(s) into the '''primary base''' of another faction with the explicit intent to accomplish a specific objective. Raids are not random acts of violence or casual skirmishes they are deliberate operations that carry significant roleplay weight and consequences for both parties involved."

			As such- '''Declaring war does not mean you can enter a faction's base/territory''', for that, you will need permission to Raid.

			Raids can only be declared after a Leader has declared /war. After which, the opposition will accept or deny the request. If accepted, you are free to invade enemy bases and territories. If denied, the attacking party must leave or speak with an Admin if you believe the Raid is articulate and necessary.

			Even if accepted, Raids are not an excuse to completely wipe out a faction, maintain server rules and '''prioritize revival or capture'''.
