I've just been redirected from intergalactic war, to a page about interstellar war that has a section about interplanetary war. These are three different things and I think they deserve their own articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.177.27.143 ( talk) 20:29, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
The Ori War in Stargate SG1 actually is intergalactic, not interstellar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.155.14.86 ( talk) 13:50, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
and since the Flood from Halo are a species adapted to intergalactic invasion (they would consume their planet and never consume the amount of sentient lifeforms required to complete their life cycle.) and considering the Forerunners had to destroy all thinking life in the GALAXY in an attempt to starve it, the "flood forerunner war" should also be considered a intergalactic war. The Human-Covenant war, however, IS an interstellar war.
Actually, it's could be argued that the fighting between the forerunners and the flood was not even a war, because the flood is only trying to complete its life-cycle, which unfortunately requires the deaths of billions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hoyt596 ( talk • contribs) 03:06, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
"Extermination (our own or that of an alien civilization at our hands) is a more likely possibility than a war in the traditional sense."
What is the support/reasoning for this statement? It seems arguable either way.

This article should be retitled "Interstellar war (fiction)", since it only covers fiction. Philcha 16:56, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
How about "Interstellar war (Movies and TV)"? Because despite the wealth of examples offered by science fiction, just two novels are included in the list. Rather disappointing ... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.197.182.216 ( talk) 01:53, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
I was about to add this:
...when I realized I had no citation. What in fact was the situation on the other side of the globe during the cold war (and before, and after)? What's the state of such stories now? --- Noclevername 23:37, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
This article only seems to cover interstellar war in popular culture. While it is true that we do not have contact with any extraterrestrial civilizations, let alone wage war with them, perhaps the article could speculate about such a conflict. Fusion7 17:26, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure how to make one, but it seems like Interstellar war, Interstellar Wars, GURPS Traveller: Interstellar Wars, and the redirect for First Interstellar War are confusing enough that a disambiguation page (probably with an "other uses" hatnote) would be appropriate. 165.23.203.13 ( talk) 13:56, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
People do have utterly implausible ideas about the timescale of interstellar war.
