 	My general thought is that the first Unhuman War wasn't really
 a "war", more of a "general cleanup" of the space-lanes.  It was called
 a war because it looked like one to outsiders.  The rulebooks are
 inconsistent about how many ships were involved and the general level
 of warfare.  For instance, sometimes it uses "countless number of ships",
 but listed fleet sizes are in the tens.  Also, there are comments to the
 effect that the elves had an easy time against the disorganized fleets,
 but started building spirit warriors and bionoids near the end of the
 war to help with the battles.  (They wouldn't be needing to build stuff
 if they were winning so much, IMO.)   >>


You need to read the SJ novels to get a feel for the war. And it was indeed a
war. The current hostility is IMO nothing like what happened centuries ago
but is still very bloody.
