The Uvixinimian War

The Uvixinimian War (849-852) was a war fought between The Skilamrilusian Empire and Raginovor. It resulted in The Skilamrilusian Empire conquering the Uvixinimi Islands.

The War
Since Raginovor  was an naval-based nation, with the best ships and seamen in Terrobis, the Skilamrians knew they would have to take the islands by suprise. A large invasion-army and navy was prepared in western Vinisic, and a decoy-attack was launched across the Ovorian Strait towards Selarius. While the decoy-fleet retreated, and was chased by the main bulk of the Raginovor's fleet, the real attack was launched. The fleet made it to the Uvixinimi Islands with few casualities, as the majority of the enemy fleet was buisy chasing the decoy-fleet in the south. The invasion-force then had a relatively easy time fighting it's way into the cities and forts on the islands - due to it's overwhealiming numbers, and all of the islands were conquered before the year 850.

When the islands were conquered, and the decoy-fleet safely in the harbour of Payamius, the next phase of the war began. Now the Raginovorians realized the Skilamrian plot, and intended to retake the Uvixinimi Islands. The main fleet was sendt northwards, and even though it was too strong for the Skilamrian fleet to rival it, it did not succeed in retaking any of the cities or forts on the islands. They then attempted to blockade the islands, in order to starve the forces to submission. The blockade was largely successfull, in the sense that hardly any food-carrying ships got through, but it did not succeed in starving the garrison. This was due to the occupants claiming almost all the fish and grain being produced on the islands, and only letting the civil-popultion have when they had enought themselves. The soldiers did therefore not starve, but the locals did. The locals may not have been entirely happy about being under Raginovorian rule, but due to the harsh treatment and deprevation of food by the Skilamrians, they preferred Raginovor. Therefore a serious number of sabotages were conducted during the war, and many people fled the islands and got onboard Raginovorian ships - for then to live in exile in Raginovor. The blockade lasted for almost two years, before Raginovor in 852 bitterly accepted a loss, and let The Skilamrilusian Empire get the Uvixinimi Islands.

Aftermath
The Uvixinimi Islands continued being a part of The Skilamrilusian Empire for a long time aferwards. The population did however never fully accept their new overlords, and started longing to the days under Raginovorian rule. Several rebellions have therefore occured. The war have often been used in anti-Skilamrian propoganda, as a proof of how cynical and careless of local lifes The Skilamrilusian Empire is.
