An "invisible war" was a term used by Stan Carnegie to refer to the conflict between ApostleCorp and its enemies, namely the Knights Templar and (initially unbeknownst to ApostleCorp) the Illuminati.
Although the war is loosely defined, it could be said to begin with the Chicago terrorist attack, 2072 and end with the Battle of Liberty Island.
