The '''Auroran Imperial War''', also known as the '''AIW''' was a continental war that lasted from 1970 to 1975. It involved the vast majority of the countries of [[Aurora]]{{emdash}}forming two opposing military alliances: the Bursil Accords and the Rivendale Pact. The continent was in a state of total war, directly involving more than 45 million personnel from six countries, all participants threw their entire industrial, scientific and economic capabilities behind the war effort, voiding any distinction between civilian and military resources. The Auroran Imperial War was the deadliest conflict on the Auroran continent, resulting in over 29 million fatalities, with more civilian than military personnel killed. Millions of people died as a result of premeditated starvation, disease and massacres. Aircraft played a large role, particularly the strategic bombing campaigns of major conurbations such as Sani Bursil, Rivendale and Andel. The war ended shortly after the Kevatuul nuclear bombings of Rivendale, Karinthus, Glitzernd and Rorikton.

After a lull in the fighting was reached several days later, vice-commandant Kiet Narvga was installed as the de facto leader, quickly establishing a provisional government and reorganising the KRDF into the Noroist Axdel Armed Forces. He led a small campaign which saw the remaining Morstaybishlian national guard driven out of the former colony, and declared that Noroist Axdel was now an independent republic. At the time Noroist Axdel encompassed all of South West Aurora, and had began the rapid establishment of concrete land defences in the [[Molvian Corridor]] and flatlands on the [[Valerica|Valerican]] and southern Staynish borders, later known as the Finch line.

On 1 January 1970, Morstaybishlia held an emergency meeting with its allies Salovia, Valerica and Kostoria-Obertonia; having already signed the Bursil Accords in 1968 which stated ''An attack on one is an attack on all'', Prime Minister Ian Crowcasa declared that Narvga’s coup d’état violated this and the nations agreed to intervene. Two days later, Kiet Narvga had flown to the Ethalrian capital and signed the Rivendale Pact alongside the host and Thorntonist Oscrelia, with intention to remove hard control of Morstaybishlia in the south and Salovia in the north.
