Veridian War was the first major armed confrontation in decades following the end of the Protectorate Wars. The war began with █lmarkan Empire naval attacks against Yalvan outposts on the coast of Veridia.

Yalva is an island nation situated within the Southern Ocean. Veridian War was annexed by the █lmarkan Empire in 2028, following a series of administrative seizures that integrated the archipelago into the imperial sphere. By the late 2030s, geopolitical tensions were rising as the Protectorate Wars drew to a close. The █lmarkan state had established Oil Homesteads on the northern coast of Rendorlin, consolidating control over resource-rich territories. Following the cessation of hostilities in the Protectorate Wars, the imperial administration sought to maintain firm control over Yalva, which resisted continued direct governance and sought to assert full sovereignty over its territory.^[1][2]

Hostilities formally commenced in May 2041 when Imperial Army naval vessels launched coordinated attacks targeting Yalvan outposts along the Veridian coast. The Imperial forces, operating under the strategic directives of the ██████████████████████████, utilized heavy artillery to bombard coastal settlements and disrupt supply lines.^[3] In response to these incursions, Yalva immediately mobilized its defenses and executed a counter-invasion into northern Rendorlin. The █lmarkan Empire deployed significant resources from the mainland to reinforce its positions, including the deployment of tank battalions and armored divisions to secure the front lines.^[4]

The military engagements between May 2041 and March 2043 were characterized by intense artillery duels and aerial bombardments. Yalvan forces, utilizing guerrilla tactics in their home waters, successfully disrupted █lmarkan logistics, leading to the destruction of several cities on the occupied ███████████████ via sustained shelling and air strikes.^[5] The conflict resulted in significant humanitarian impact, with hundreds of thousands displaced within both Yalva and northern Rendorlin. Strategic shifts occurred as Yalvan commanders adapted to the loss of their coastal bases, forcing
