Photogenic Wars

The true cause of the Photogenic Wars is the subject of great debate among historians. One camp believes it began with a group of attractive co-eds angry at the acceptance of a harelipped woman to their sorority. The other claims that repeated rejections by sorority girls sent a group of the less physically endowed over the edge. Whatever the cause, the Confed was quickly engulfed in a series of brutal wars pitting the pretty people against the unattractive, disfigured, and plain. The devastating deployment of berserker beams at the Holosoap Awards sent models fleeing to hastily-fortified Playalien Magazine bunkers, while the retaliatory strikes against interstellar chess clubs drove science nerds to create the Angel of Death virus. The Photogenic Wars might have plunged the Confed into eternal chaos had both sides not agreed to the compromise of the Bulova Accords.
