The 1983 Solarian Sea Crisis was an eighteen day military confrontration between the Union of Zorasani Irfanic Republics and Halland that took place between 10 and 28 April 1983.
The crisis began with the seizure of the MS Solar Intrepid, a civilian frieghter under the Hallandic flag, accused by the Zorasani government of smuggling weapons to Irvadi separatists. this was denied by the Hallandic government. In response, Halland dispatched several naval vessels to patrol the Solarian Sea shipping lanes and to protect other Hallandic-flagged vessels. On 14 April, the CN Tapahanek was attacked by a single Zorasani aircraft, striking the vessel with two Kh-35 missiles, killing 27 sailors and injuring 78 others.
This led to the deployment of Halland's 1st Carrier Strike Group led by CN John Astor, which arrived off the western coast of Tsabara on 26 April. On the 27 April, the CSG launched an airstrike against the airbase blamed for the Tapahanek attack, in the ensuing operation, John Astor launched aircraft struck the Ain Samad Airbase, destroying 12 aircraft and damaging 8 more and killing between 30 to 80 personnel. A air battle between the egressing carrier air group and Zorasani air force aircraft saw a further five shot down, while Halland lost two aircraft.
The crisis was formally resolved the next day, with the withdrawal of the 1st Carrier Strike Group and the start of high-level bi-lateral talks between the Hallandic and Zorasani governments. The MS Solar Intrepid was returned with its crew and both sides agreed to monetary compensation for the military personnel killed during the crisis. The events proved highly consequential to both governments, with Halland's military prowess and capabilities confirmed, while Zorasan's military would go on to begin a decades long modernisation and reform process.
