This is a very old war. Not much is known about it. But, the short story by Joshua Edmiston tells about it (some things are larger than life). | This is a very old war. Not much is known about it.

Communism seems never willing to surrender its hold on society, it never completely vanishes so long as unrest exists. | Communism seems never willing to surrender its hold on society, it never completely vanishes so long as unrest exists. | ||
The Era of the Ancient was coming to a close, with FirstClass being the defining feature of this time. There are many fond memories associated with FirstClass which can be found in the NSA Wiki, but with these memories came serious drawbacks. FirstClass was infamous for its grand threads, containing role play that would extend for tens of thousands of replies. However, it was quite difficult to maintain an active presence on multiple threads. There were several battles fought on FirstClass, but since the threads were too unorganized, many of them would end in a stalemate followed by a ceasefire. It should also be noted that cyber weapons were vastly limited in their destructive capability during this time, with the most effective weapon being the sarcastic reply. On top of that, threads quickly became disoriented and cluttered as it became a challenge simply to distinguish who was posting what. Yet despite these drawbacks, several students pledged their full support to FirstClass claiming that the platform fit perfectly with the ideology of NSA. But as time went on, these students began crossing the 13th bridge. The 13th bridge is the term for students who transition from 12th grade to 13th grade. Once a student crosses this bridge, their access to NSA becomes suspended as they stray into the zone that is colloquially referred to as college. With many FirstClass supporters crossing the 13th bridge, the overall support of FirstClass declined. It was now much more common to hear students openly voice their complaints against FirstClass. And with no steadfast FirstClass supporters left at NSA, the contempt for it only grew. Worried that protests would ensue, combined with a growing hatred of FirstClass in The Student Council, administration and faculty gave the order to transition away from FirstClass. The process was quick, but to keep the peace, administration decided to delay the transition until the final remainder of FirstClass supporters crossed the 13th bridge. Then in the summer of 2019, North Star Academy cut all remaining ties with FirstClass and made the formal transition to Microsoft Teams. This momentous occasion would go down in NSA history as the Great Switch. An enormous leap of progress, yet it would come at a price. | The Era of the Ancient was coming to a close, with [[FirstClass]] being the defining feature of this time.

The transition to Microsoft was a profound improvement. Threads became easy to understand, the organization was greatly improved, and the overall environment was far more professional. Students were now able to have group chats and direct messages within NSA, as opposed to the sluggish FirstClass e-mail. The addition of Outlook provided a cleaner format for e-mails between students and teachers. Office 365 gave students access to premium functions that FirstClass could not offer such as One Note, Excel, and Power Point. But the greatest improvement was the introduction of Microsoft Teams. An internet platform that connected students in a way that was never thought possible. Yet in this safe haven, the Era of Confrontation was soon to begin. And to explain where it all started, we must back up in history to the nineteenth century. | The transition to Microsoft was a profound improvement.
