The Battle of Trash Cove

The Battle of Trash Cove was a the only war ever to occur on The Hobo Planet. It was fought under the ruling of Hobo Cop. The war started out as a disagreement over a junk yard that was positioned near the Op-op Ocean. The residents of the area believed it belonged to them, while the NAVY Hobos argued that it belonged to them due to the founder opening the cite 180 years before. This was taken to the courts where it was argued over who owned the land: the people who lived on it or the people who started it but never got the rights to it. The court ordered that the case be postponed until next Summer. The NAVY did not like this and in an act of revenge; they shot a missile into the junkyard. This was just a warning shot and no-one was injured, but the other Hobos were outraged and began to send death threats to the NAVY. The story spread and Hobos all around the planet picked a side and began to fight all over the planet. After 8 months of fighting, Hobo Cop stopped the war by stating that (since the land wasn't owned by the residents or the NAVY) it belonged to the government. The fighting died down within the next few weeks. Through this war, no major victories or losses occurred and no major victories stood out. It has been estimated that over 400 Hobos were killed through the entire war. A memorial of the war still sits in front of the town square with the names of all the Hobos that died and these words: ''"We need to live in a world worth fighting for...but we also need to live in a world that doesn't need fought for." ~ Hobo Cop.''
