The Nuandan Ocean held strategic significance for both sides. For the Cacertians this was the only effective means of importing raw materials and resources from west Eracura, as the [[Sundering Sea Campaign|Sundering Sea]] had been effectively closed off to Common Axis aligned shipping in the western mouth of the Sundering. Merchant vessels had to instead sail south towards the Cacertian territory of Andria in the Sabri Sea to circumnavigate the Siduri continent, passing near the [[Ossoria|Ossorian territory of Hemar]], West Aeoteroa, and Nawalupa in what became known as the Nuandan Triangle, where Syaran warships would often try to intercept Common Axis shipping. In response the Cacertians launched numerous commerce raiders into the Nuandan to interfere with the Inner Sphere's trade with west Eracura. | The Nuandan Ocean held strategic significance for both sides.

The Nuandan Campaign was a naval camapign fought between the Common Axis and the Inner Sphere in the Nuandan Ocean during the Siduri War. The Nuandan Campaign is usually considered to be part of the Western Theater and was fought primarily by the Cacertian Royal Navy and the Navy of the Syaran Republic.
The Nuandan Ocean held strategic significance for both sides. For the Cacertians this was the only effective means of importing raw materials and resources from west Eracura, as the Sundering Sea had been effectively closed off to Common Axis aligned shipping in the western mouth of the Sundering. Merchant vessels had to instead sail south towards the Cacertian territory of Andria in the Sabri Sea to circumnavigate the Siduri continent, passing near the Ossorian territory of Hemar, West Aeoteroa, and Nawalupa in what became known as the Nuandan Triangle, where Syaran warships would often try to intercept Common Axis shipping. In response the Cacertians launched numerous commerce raiders into the Nuandan to interfere with the Inner Sphere's trade with west Eracura.
Much of the fighting in the campaign took place in the form of single ship or division sized engagements by destroyers, corvettes, convoy escorts, and auxiliary cruisers, though larger capital ships often served as raiders including the Syaran Moddra-class battlecruisers and the Cacertian Amika Carpio-class battleships. Capital ships often played significant roles as surface raiders and their feats, such as the Divide Dash, earned wide spread public attention.
