The Sandbox Continental War was an up-scale war taking place for exactly 3 months. A majority of factions in the meta took part in the Sandbox Continental War and the small percentage of factions that did not participate, knew about the war. There was a large amount of leaks, casualties, claims, and server shutdowns throughout the war. The war ended due to the collapse of the Inner Sphere Alliance, which in turn resulted in the surrender of ISA, a major reform of the faction, and change in leadership.

It is worth noting, that when the Inner Sphere Alliance was formed, Raikiri, the leader at the time, was new to Garry's Mod alongside the faction meta, and had no clue what servers were and weren't claimed. Due to Rai's lack of knowledge on claims, ISA claimed multiple servers that had already been claimed, which resulted in negative responses from claimants, and factions.

Early War

The Sandbox Continental War started on October 9th, 2017, two days after the formation of the Inner Sphere Alliance, due to ISA attacking C.G.I. scouts on Trump's Hair. The next day, ISA

deployed forces to Dirtbox and Saul Slugman's PAC Haven with intents to conquer them. Not wanting to be dragged into an unnecessary war, Serria signed a Non-Aggression pact with ISA on the 12th. Not long after, this agreement would be broken (on the 15th), when ISA staged an attack on Serrian forces. Due to this attack, Serria not only declared war on ISA, they also created the Anti-ISA pact to rally support against the faction. On that same day, ABMC allied with C.G.I. and joined the war. UNR also attempted an incursion on Trump's Hair, which resulted in the cease of Serrian air operations.
