Weekend War

The Weekend War refers to the three-day battle Thadeus Becile and Peter Walter I fought in 1896-1897 over Thadeus' theft and subsequent use of Green Matter. The story is recounted on the Lore page of the official Steam Powered Giraffe website and in the Steam Powered Giraffe Comic.

History
Thadeus sought green matter to power his army of copper African elephants. Additionally, after discovering that Green Matter caused his employees to turn into zombies, he had the idea to use Green Matter to resurrect Delilah Morreo from the dead. The CEO of Dandy Candy, Taggart Babclock, and the Brown Suits both implored Peter Walter to intervene, stating he was the only one who could match Thadeus in combat, and that he bore some responsibility for delving so deeply into research of Blue Matter. Eventually Peter agreed, reprogramming many of his automatons for the purpose of warfare, along with building additional robots explicitly for combat, including the Steam Powered Giraffe robots and Delilah.

Peter Walter engaged Thadeus Becile in combat for three days, eventually claiming victory and liberating the Rock Candy mines.
