Line 4:
Of course, what's going through the minds of the fans is that the Alicetonian general and the nameless Boblivian soldier who appeared a couple episodes back would make a good couple.
 
People like romance. People like conflict. So naturally, [[Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs|people like romance in the middle of a conflict]]. This is what happens when that comes to the front. It doesn't have to be a war, but basically any sort of conflict between two (or more) groups. It is guaranteed that the shippers will begin favoring a pairing of two characters on opposite sides... [[Ships That Pass in Thethe Night|even if those specific characters don't even say two words to each other.]]
 
Related to [[Foe Yay]]; where [[Foe Yay]] is about the implications and doesn't necessarily have to garner support from the fandom, [[War Ship|War Shipping]] is about the fandom support and doesn't necessarily need to be implied. Additionally, where [[Foe Yay]] is about hate as a mask for love, [[War Ship|War Shipping]] doesn't have to involve any animosity at all, and the characters can be as friendly as they want to be as long as they're ultimately on opposite sides.
Line 13:
 
== [[Anime and Manga]] ==
* Arguably the ''main'' plot of ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam The 08th MS Team (Anime)|Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team]]'' was the relationship between [[Star-Crossed Lovers]] Aina and Shiro, pilots on opposing sides of the [[Mobile Suit Gundam|One Year War]].
* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'': Amuro and Lalah are on opposite sides.
* ''[[Zeta Gundam]]'': Kamille and Four, and Katz and Sarah are on opposite sides.
* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 0080 War in The Pocket (Anime)|Gundam 0080]]'': Christina and Bernard are on opposite sides.
* ''[[Gundam Wing]]'': Duo and Hilde start on opposite sites.
* ''[[Gundam Seed]]'': Cagalli and Athrun start on opposite sides.
Line 30:
* ''[[Safehold|By Schism Rent Asunder]]'': political pragmatism throws former enemies Cayleb and Sharleyan in bed together. It ends up being a [[Perfectly Arranged Marriage]].
* ''[[Sten|Revenge of the Damned]]'': Lady Atago is brave, beautiful and a military genius. She's really Sten's perfect counterpart. Too bad she's sworn to destroy the Empire.
* ''[[Vorkosigan Saga|Shards of Honor]]'' starts out with the Betans and the Barrayarans on opposing sides of a conflict (technically, it's Barrayar vs. Escobar, with the Betans supporting Escobar), and Betan Expeditionary Captain [[Hot Amazon|Cordelia]] [[Warrior Therapist|Naismith]] being taken prisoner by Barrayaran Captain Lord [[An Officer and Aa Gentleman|Aral]] [[Combat Pragmatist|Vorkosigan]]. Four days, a lot of terrain, and some heart-to-hearts later, they're engaged. And as subsequent books tell us, they end up a pair of [[Happily Married]] [[Retired Badass|Retired Badasses]].
* [[Star Wars Expanded Universe|Luke and Mara]] marry just as the Empire and the New Republic reach peace.
