- "There is nothing quite so... amusing... as Matoran at war with each other. There they are, with their powerless masks and their little weapons, trying to look formidable as they march into battle."

The Matoran Civil War occurred in Metru Nui due to a dispute between Ta-Metru and Po-Metru regarding boundaries and trade. The war began approximately 79,500 years before the Toa Inika arrived on the island of Voya Nui and lasted for four hundred years.
[carve] Summary
Minor disputes between the Po-Matoran and the Ta-Matoran escalated into a full scale war after the Po-Matoran sank some transport barges and the Ta-Matoran melted a Po-Metru Warehouse using Molten Protodermis. The Onu-Matoran then allied with the Ta-Matoran while the Le-Matoran allied with the Po-Matoran. The Ko-Matoran attempted to intervene, but due to being ignored, later joined the Po-Matoran. The Ga-Matoran attempted to stay neutral, but failed and allied with the Ta-Matoran.
The war went on for four centuries until Makuta Miserix ordered Makuta Teridax to stop the fighting. Teridax responded to that order by trapping large amounts of the armies into the Archives and freeing the exhibits on them, in what later would be called the Archives Massacre.
[carve] Aftermath
After the war, the Makuta assigned themselves regions to watch over (Teridax got Metru Nui for putting an end to the war). The Matoran of Metru Nui came to view the Makuta with distrust and fearful respect. The Order of Mata Nui banished the war leaders to The Pit. The Order also placed an agent in the city to head off future problems, as it seems there were no Toa based on Metru Nui until after the war. The Matoran Civil War caused the Great Disruption.
