The First Tevarin War was an intersystem conflict between the [Tevarin](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/V8gJv3nB3X-tevarin) and the [United Planets of Earth (UPE)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0QxBjKP2PN-united-planets-of-earth). The Tevarin declared war with [Humans](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0Nwpnr6wa2-humans) in 2541, shortly after first contact. The motivations behind the war were complex; it was both a bid for the Tevarin to claim UPE-controlled territory to assuage their overpopulation problem and a consequence of the high cultural value the Tevarin as a people placed on combat. The war was responsible for countless advances in spacecraft technology.

Der Erste Tevarin-Krieg war ein Intersystem-Konflikt zwischen den [Tevarin](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/V8gJv3nB3X-tevarin) und den [United Planets of Earth (UPE)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0QxBjKP2PN-united-planets-of-earth). Die Tevarin erklärten den Krieg mit den [Menschen](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0Nwpnr6wa2-humans) im Jahr 2541, kurz nach dem ersten Kontakt. Die Beweggründe für den Krieg waren komplex; er war sowohl ein Versuch der Tevarin, von der UPE kontrolliertes Territorium zu beanspruchen, um ihr Überbevölkerungsproblem zu lindern, als auch eine Folge des hohen kulturellen Wertes, den die Tevarin als Volk dem Kampf beimaßen. Der Krieg war verantwortlich für unzählige Fortschritte in der Raumschifftechnologie.

Die Tevarin wurden im Jahr 2546 besiegt.
