The Eynhallow War was a short-lived conflict between the The Confederacy of Brytene and The Socialist Republic of Vedria over a pair of islands in the Fale Ocean east of Brytene. The small islands, at only 142 square miles (368 km²), were valued primarily for their strategic location off the Brytisc coast, home to the eastern hub of the Brytisc radar defense network, as well as the lucrative Forneach silver mine.

The battle began with a Vedrian special forces assault on the islands, in which six Brytisc guards were killed and a dozen taken prisoner at no cost to the Vedrian attackers. Following a brief and fruitless attempt at negotiation, the Brytisc Fleet, joined by ships of the Imperial Castarcian Navy, mobilised an expeditionary force to the island, which had in the meantime been reinforced by the Vedrians.

Following a confused naval and aerial battle, made complex by the rocky and irregular geography of the region, Brytisc infantry stormed the islands on the 27th of April, driving off the occupying Vedrian force.

The vast majority of casualties on both side were suffered among naval personnel.
