The Auroran-Pacific War (APW) was a military conflict between the Rivendale Pact and Bursil Alliance in 2017 fought predominantly in Aurora and the South West Pacific Ocean. The Rivendale Pact consisted of Ethalria, Uspalria , Gemica, Kostromastan and Stratarin and the Bursil Alliance consisted of Great Morstaybishlia (MBE), The Oan Isles, Axdel, Kuthernburg, Tretrid, Vistaraland and Kostoria-Obertonia.

The war arose in the shadow of the Auroran Imperial War that ended in the mid-1970s. The Grand Matriarchy of Ethalria was partitioned into 2 states: the Republic of Ethalria and Matriarch of Ethalria (which lost Marislia to MBE). Coupled with agitation by Usprians for self-rule and the economic and military resurgence of the Matriarchy of Ethalria, opportunity, self-confidence and internal political, social and economic factors led to Ethalria supporting the usurpation of the Republic of Ethalria with an Usprian ethnonationalist state known as Uspalria.

The APW was preceded by a coup in Stratarin which was the ascendance of Mikhail Starikov to the Strataric leadership, a civil war in the Republic of Ethalria which saw its government flee to Yor and Uspalria declared over its former territory and a spate of terrorist attacks in MBE which culminated in the assassination of Prince Thadeus, Duke of Horkalo.

The war began with Uspalria invading Yor. Ethalria then invaded Marislia. Axdel and Kuthernburg repelled Uspalria in Yor. Uspalria, unable to secure assets owned by the Republic of Ethalria, invaded Kostoria-Obertonia placed it under military occupation and coerced it to make loans and withdraw foreign reserves held in the ACB, for the Rivendale Pact war effort. Using Gemica as a launching point, the Rivendale Pact, led by Stratarin invaded and occupied Justelvard. Furthermore, Ethalria and Stratarin launched an attack from the south and north respectively into Marislia region.

With forces tied up in the Salizar Civil War and other areas in the world MBE was slow to respond, leaving Axdel and Kuthernburg to assist Kostoria-Obertonia and the Republic of Ethalria government in Yor.

The war concluded with the Treaty of Sani Bursil which partitoned Ethalria into Faethalria, and Uspalria, described the terms of surrender of Stratarin, the annexation of Gemica by the Oan Isles, the disbandment of the South-East Pacific Coalition, the relocation of the Auroran Central Bank to Tivot, and the suspension and eventual dissolution of the Auroran Continental Assembly.
