The Human-Inhibitor War was a far-reaching conflict between the inhabitants of human-colonised systems and the coming onslaught of the Inhibitors.
The ancient machinery of the Inhibitors was awakened as a byproduct of the tampering by Dan Sylveste and the crew of the Nostalgia for Infinity.
The Inhibitors were eventually stopped and defeated, but at a great price, with a new threat emerging in their place.
Narratively, the war is the focus of the Inhibitor trilogy of novels.
