Vojiskiy War

The Vojiskiy War was a civil war fought in the former Vojiskiy Empire between Imperial forces and republican forces with various ethnic separatist movements fighting on each side. The two largest forces in the war were of the Vojiskiy Imperial Army, formed mainly of rural farmers and monarchists loyal to the Tsar, and the Yarovan Republican Army formed up mostly of industrial workers and soldiers returning from the Grand Campaigns. There were occurrences where a faction was fighting both sides such as the Legija Death Corps and Kartvelian National Army towards the end of the war. Most of the fighting occurred in the south west, north west, and north east of the Vojiskiy Empire where the republicans garnered much support from separatists wanting independence. Guerrilla warfare was the most common form of fighting until an organised fighting force could be assembled in late 1922 by the republican forces. After the capitol was taken by republican forces the majority of imperial forces became concentrated in Eastern Yarova where they garnered the support of the Navy, rural farmers, and Trukhmen nationalists. The majority of imperial forces surrendered on 28 January 1926, just 15 days after the fall of the Imperial Palace. The Kartvelian National Army would continue to fight in Western Yarova up until 1927, The remnants of the Vojiskiy Imperial Navy would rule over Tolima until 1931, and the Legija Death Corps would fight with imperial remnants in southern Yarova and the United Provinces of Rovsnoska and Zaporizhia until 1929.

Background
Signs of decay of the Vojiskiy Empire had been showing since the early 20th century, the largest of these being the defeat of the Vojiskiy Imperial Army at the hands of Kholak rebels in 1920. While fighting the Kholaks the Vojiskiy Empire thinned its forces even further by fighting in the Grand Campaigns for the monarchist Vallis' causing their forces to be highly underequipped and angered. The expense of fighting these wars hit the people of the empire hard. Raised taxes, famine caused by a need to feed Imperial soldiers, huge wealth gaps, and cruel living conditions caused the Republican movement to gain much traction. In 1921 Republican and separatist movements had began using small amounts of guerilla and partisan tactics, causing a crackdown by the empire. On 16 April 1922 more than 650 vocal republican advocates in the city of Yumarapol, a vital republican stronghold, were executed. riots broke out in several key locations across the empire against the imperial government and martial law was declared on the 14th. The Vojiskiy soldiers fighting in the Grand Campaigns were brought home to fight the growing insurgency.
