The war was started by the people of planet Krikkit. For a long time their world had been entirely surrounded by a dust cloud made up of the pulverized parts of the computer Hactar.

Hactar wished to atone for an earlier incident in which it had been tasked with designing a weapon capable of destroying the universe for the Silastic Armorfiends, a violent and warlike race, and had developed a "Supernova Bomb" that would use a hyperspace junction to link every star in the universe and make them all go supernova simultaneously. However, it deliberately incorporated a design flaw, resulting in his being pulverized by the Silastic Armorfiends. It later realized that it was not its place to make such decisions and nurtured the Krikkiters to arrive at the same state of mind as the Armorfiends by building a spaceship, crashing it onto their planet, and subconsciously aiding them in repairing it.

In a very short time xenophobia overwhelmed the Krikkiters and, again assisted by Hactar, they designed a massive fleet of battle cruisers and a huge army of deadly white robots declared war on the rest of the galaxy they inhabited. Although galactic casualties numbered about two grillion, the entire Krikkit race was eventually captured (except for one battle cruiser which was missing, presumed destoyed) and put on trial. They were sentenced by Judiciary Pag to have their planet sealed in a slo-time envelope, within which time would progress almost infinitely slowly, and remain there until the end of the universe, at which point it would theoretically emerge and be the sole inhabitant of the universe. Xenophobia denotes a phobic attitude toward strangers or of the unknown and comes from the Greek words ξένος (xenos), meaning foreigner, stranger, and φόβος (phobos), meaning fear. ...
