The Ten Hour War, called by Ou'kizil collaborators and sympathizers as the Rebirthing War and by Ou'kizil rebels and insurgents as the Ten Hours of Hell, is one of many "Hours Wars" that the Empire of the Combine Race raged across the multiverse for centrillions of years, was a short but brutal war that occurred on Ou'kizil Earth in the year 1402 NE shortly after the Combines discovered it. Like all other Hours Wars, the conflict only lasted for ten hours in total, with the Combines quickly, and swiftly conquering the planet like all other worlds before them.
What makes this conflict unique however involves one of the nations on the planet, the Holy Britannian Empire. While others nations on the planet fell after hour six or seven, the Britannians managed to hold on for three more hours before finally falling to the Combines by the tenth hour mark and the death of their 98th Emperor, Charles zi Britannia, by the hands of General Giloma Vil Fillaker, later known by many across Ou'kizil Earth as the man who conquered Britannia. But it was this stubborn resistance that impressed Vil Fillaker enough that he personally convinced Emperor Yiloala Kutarukia to turn the planet from being yet another colony or conquered planet but instead jointly controlled by a colonial government and a puppet state from the conquered remains of the Britannian Empire. With a stroke of a pen, the surviving members of the Imperial Britannian Royal Family signed a compact with the Combine Empire, giving birth to a new puppet regime that jointly ruled over Ou'kizil Earth, the Combine-Britannian Empire.
