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 Ribenstadt 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, Ribenstadt and Andel. The war ended shortly after the Kevatuul nuclear bombings of Ribenstadt, Karinthus, Anzrelstätt and Rorikton.

The war involved the majority of the continent of [[Aurora]]. The primary nations involved were the [[Great Morstaybishlia|Morstaybishlian Empire]], [[Noroist Axdel]], the [[Ethalria (Grand Matriarchy)|Grand Matriarchy of Ethalria]], and [[Salovia]]. The war lasted from January 17, 1970 to July 23, 1975.

In the early hours of December 14th 1969, the NPLP's leader Winston Ulysses initiated the long-planned coup, ordering the ADF to mobilise, bombing major highways and railways leading into Staynes and South Staynes. As day broke, the ADF declared that the Noroist Peoples Liberation Party was the legal government of the principality, and began rounding up non-loyal governors from each province, imprisoning or executing them. By midday they had successfully secured the Morstaybishlian colonial government buildings in a coup d’état. However several areas were still in considerable disarray, in which pockets of ADF forces loyal to the Morstaybishlian Empire continued fighting for several days. Soon though, they had all had either surrendered or been destroyed. However, it was during this time that Winston Ulysses was shot and killed by an empire loyal lone wolf assassin from within the party ranks.

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 ADF into the Noroist Axdel Armed Forces. He led a small campaign which saw the remaining Morstaybishlia-loyal forces destroyed or driven out of the principality, 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 on the [[Kéya|Kéyan]] border, ~~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 flew to the Ethalria and signed the Ribenstadt Pact alongside Thorntonist Oscrelia, with intention to remove hard control of Morstaybishlia in the south and Salovia in the north. In order to lend its support to Axdel, The [[Quariin]] Socialist republic would sign the pact and join the war on the 24th of January.

Whilst the Western front was performing as expected, Ethalrian forces had not been able to secure the lake Lamberta region as fast as expected due to increasing tactical and logistical difficulties slowing progress dramatically and leading to delays. With the pressure on the Eastern front relatively low, Morstaybishlia could afford to send more reserve forces Westwards with the objective to keep Redrugus from being captured and protect the crucial oilfields from Axdel. As Axdelian forces were set to meet West of Skaul, the Morstaybishlian's led a counteroffensive, attacking their flanks and allowing them to keep Redrugus from being encircled. They focused their efforts on the weaker North side, as without a land connection their flexibility would be limited. In response the meeting point of the two forces was shifted westwards and the Southern forces changed direction and pushed straight for Redrugus. An Axdelian naval group was also sent to Redrugus to provide fire support, but couldn't get close to shore due to the mines and had to wait for countermeasures forces to clear a path to the coast. Redrugus was eventually reached in June, where the winter slowed progress from either side.
