The Gene Wars

The Gene Wars are used as the historical background to hundreds of different furry, `taur and Chakat stories. These wars are described as more terrible than Vietnam, Kuwait, and World War II combined. The war is always referenced but never actually the setting of any given furry story. Unlike Star Wars, where the story of the Clone Wars was one that should have never been told, introducing a piece of fiction set during the Gene Wars would actually serve to introduce depth into an otherwise lifeless backstory. Unfortunately, this seldom happens. Or like in Tales of the Folly, the history is recited in completely verbal format (telling instead of showing) and we never get a good mental picture of what it was like.

For something so monumental, so world changing, so terrible, you'd think there would be more documentation to back up the lecturing.
