The Ingonian War was an fought between the Republic of Chezzetcook and Cerveran People's Directorate over a period of fifteen months between February 1984 and May 1985. A splinter conflict of the Arbenz Revolution in which both parties were combatant, the conflict manifested as an attempt by Chezzetcook to curtail Cerveran arms shipments to FURP rebels in Arbenz, and to check the influence of Cervera in Avalonia more broadly. The conflict, which pitted one of the world's largest military and economic powers against a developing economy, was characterized by a prolonged campaign of airstrikes against Cerveran military and industrial targets and an invasion of the Cerveran port cities of Bayamo, San Miguel and Puerto Fortuna, which was repelled with heavy casualties on both sides. The sinking of the Chezzetcook amphibious assault ship Tempeste on 13 March 1985 resulted in heavy casualties and ultimately turned the tide of public opinion against continued prosecution of the war. By early 1985, with suggestions of a ceasefire imminent in Arbenz and public support for the war at a low, Chezzetcook withdrew its forces from the Ingonian Sea region without any formal instrument concluding the conflict. Cervera subsequently claimed victory, though the conflict had exacted a heavy toll in both manpower and economic output, the latter of which would not be fully recovered before the end of the decade.
