The Battle of the Abronian River was an incident during Black February, an intense period of civil violence in Prodava which saw its transition from monarchy to republic. It is considered by some to be the first engagement of the Prodavan War. The 3rd Light Squadron of the Vionna-Frankenlischian Imperial Navy, under the command of Commodore Sir Arthur Cavendish, oversaw the evacuation of Prodavan monarchist civilians and troops from Salorka Province in northern Prodava. Three-hundred Imperial marines and 2,500 Prodavan monarchist troops held off an assault by six-thousand republican rebels, ensuring a successful evacuation.
