The Syndicate Wars occured in Gate, prior to that Dimension's discovery by the rest of the Web of Worlds. The fighting spanned the years 2270 to 2300 AD by the Guardian Calendar (14 WB - 17 WR by the Esperian calendar). It was mainly a contest between three corporate factions (the Arris Syndicate, the Trann Syndicate and the Proto Syndicate) for control over a weakened Guardian central government. The war had two major results for Guardia:

  • Doan Pendouris, then Director of the Arris Syndicate, would claim the throne and become King of Guardia after his faction emerged victorious. He would go on to restore Guardia's monarchy and the strength of its central government, earning himself the name "Restorer King."
  • The attrocities committed by private corporate armies during the war (especially those by the Trann Syndicate) lead to a prevailing anti-corporate sentiment in Guardia that would lead to all corporate and industrial assets of the Syndicates becoming government-owned in the wake of the war. It would also engender strong anti-Tasnican sentiment among the Guardian people for the first few years of Guardia's being a part of the Web community.
