"The war that was, but isn't, so therefore isn't. Did you understand that part? Yes? No, no you didn't. Because it doesn't makes sense. And neither does the Terra-Rannochian War. And why is it even called that? Are we at war with the quarians, or the Covenant?"
— Coalition political analyst.

The Terra-Rannochian War, also known as the Dominion-Covenant War, the Continuation War and the Maginot War, and known to the Covenant as the Advocation Crusade, was largely a continuation of hostilities between the Galactic Dominion and the Titan Covenant following the end of the Post-Apocalyptic War, but on a slower and far smaller scale. The war resumed with Operation Silent Zealot, breaking the fragile armistice that both sides had signed to end the PA war. Despite resuming hostilities however, neither side took major military action, still too exhausted for large-scale operations, and thus restricted themselves to proxy attacks and raids on both sides of the Maginot Line. This state of 'phony war' continued for three decades until the outbreak of the Dominion Civil War, forcing the Dominion to massively demobilize along their entire front. The Covenant continued the war until their collapse at the Battle of Titan, effectively bringing an official end to the conflict in its entirety.

The Galactic Sanctum was involved to a limited, bloodless degree two years after its formation in 2223 CE, utilizing proxy assets such as the Illium Separatist Front to wage war against the Titan Covenant and Galactic Dominion in an unofficial capacity.
