This is not an intergalactic war as described. Any war that takes place within our own galaxy, not to even mention in our own solar system, is local and not intergalactic, which would require that the parties involved come from two or more separate galaxies.

Oh come on you know they were hoping for something like this so that humans like me be stupid enough to think we could make peace

You stayed in Dallas internationally.

@Humppatunkki

Darn typos: +ta -> interplanetary

@Suprapersonality

Which follows the same logic as I would, if called myself American for spending ten weeks in Dallas back in 2003. If something is confined within a certain area of space, not expanding towards the intergalactic proportions (remember; the point of origin is Mars, the scale of the battlefield itself should be quite obvious as well), it can be called a local dispute. In this case, the definition of "local" being interplanery.

Right, when they finally reached earth... *intergalactically*.

[Humppatunkki]

@Suprapersonality

Neither the point of origin (which would still be Mars) for the attack nor the scale of the said war, which would be well-confined within our own galaxy (within our own solar system, to be exact), would change. Thus nothing would change, except the Martians would probably be even a bit more pissed off, when they finally reached Earth.

@Humppatunkki

What if the Martians left the galaxy and then came back?

@Humppatunkki it's funny how ignorant people thinks that intergalactic = space

Actually, oddly enough, both interstellar and intergalatic warfare have occurred as subjects of several types of fiction. Wikipedia has a very nice article about such unexpected occurrences, which I seem to be unable to link directly, but it can be found by searching for "Interstellar war" on the site. Thank you.

[EcnelOvelam]

@Humppatunkki Yeah I know, there really is no "Intergalactic" warfare ever mentioned in fiction that I could think of. It's just waay to big of a stretch. The only thing I could think of is in Star Wars with the Yuzon Vong guys, they were apparently from another galaxy.

@Humppatunkki You, sir, are a clever Dick.
