The Six Leagues War, also known as the Civil War of the 3rd Century or the Pink Robe Rebellion, was a conflict raging for much of the 3rd century. The war broke out when Kogimbe, a prominent Koyevic-Cananganamese general led the Sawyan hototo (tribal auxiliaries) with the support of local settlements in an attempt to overthrow the ruling Lunukist system and the Cananganamese nobility. The period is one of the bloodiest in Naguan history. Prior to the conflict, nearly 8 million households were reported in a census conducted in 180. Following the conflict, in 330 only 2 million households were reported.
The war is known as the Pink Robe rebellion referring to the Pink robes of the loyalist of Kogimbe in the early period of the war, however, multiple factions existed. Most notable are the sieges which, early in the war, saw a significant reliance on massive numbers of soldiers to take fortifications. Later into the war, this changed as engineers became more and more sought after resulting in significantly different approaches to siege warfare and boat-based siege engines. These engineers would later become involved in works of the post-war period which redeveloped the nation and improved the quality of life with new watermills, piping, sewer systems, and other feats.
The period would later be romanticized by author Dasra Kobhisa in his 8th century work based on oral history and tales, Tales of the Early Empire: Era of the Dinasatsree. Although it is a relatively short period of Naguan history, its impact cannot be overstated as it is said to have created the conditions for later Asuranesian expansion and the later discovery of Lahan, Atsiq, and Alpa. The technologies developed as a result of needing to make up for less available labor led to improvements on shipping, wheelbarrows, pipe-fed irrigation, hydraulic powered pumps, and compasses of both non-magnetic and magnetic varieties used for navigation.
