The Not today, Satan! War was a territory war fought between the forces of Nameless against Trinity for territories in Sector 7.
Prelude
After a period of relative peace in Sector 7, a number of rackets had spawned that made the area attractive for outside forces. Nameless itself had undergone a southern expansion, with factions like In Memory of the Fallen and aXiom spearheading an assault to capture more territories. With Nameless forces not as concentrated as they once were, Trinity saw an opening to seize territory for itself.
War Progress
The war started on August 20 when Trinity launched an assault against Naughty Souls and captured ZTB, opening the way for them to follow up by capturing ATB, IAA and JAA. A counter attack started on August 23 when -Aurora- assaulted ATB and Stygian: Awakening attacked JAA, with both territories captured within 36 hours.
A second round of counter attacks between August 23 and August 29 failed to eject Trinity from the area, as Impulse, -Aurora- and Stygian: Awakening were unable to capture IAA and ZTB after fighting for the maximum amount of time over both walls. During this period Trinity called in its ally We Are Rising, who attacked the NPO held territory of XUB on August 24. Never really in control or making any real progress, We Are Rising conceded the fight in less than 12 hours.
New plans for a third counter attack were created in which Strength and Impulse would attack simultaneously in another effort to capture IAA and ZTB. The attack commenced on August 29, which included Trinity attempting to claim YTB from Impulse on the same day. Encountering negligible resistance from Trinity, NPO members were able to assist Impulse in the battle for ZTB which was won after six hours of combat.
When it became clear to Trinity that they would lose both their walls, they acknowledged defeat and were subsequently pushed off the map, bringing the war to a close.

In an attempt to put pressure on the NPO, We Are Rising commenced an assault on XUB on August 24. Within the first 12 hours the assault was defended by Pacificans, with We Are Rising conceding the battle. The wall was allowed to run its full course over the next three days before ending in an NPO victory.
First Battle of IAA

After two previous attempts to capture IAA failed, Strength's assault on the IAA wall commenced at 15:42:10 on August 29, 2022. At this point over extended, Trinity failed to mount any significant counter attacks against the Order leaving NPO members open to work with Impulse to help them capture ZTB.
Aftermath
Shortly after the war ended, NPO would depart Nameless and move eastwards following the formation of a new alliance with the 39th Street Killers.[1] An awards ceremony was also held to issue the war ribbon for combat.[2]
Following the Order's departure from the area, Trinity would return for one more attempt by successfully capturing ZTB again from Naughty Souls, before being ejected from the area by aXiom.
