The Papalanian-Bardonian War (sometimes referred to as the VU-NB War, or the Penitusian War) was an armed conflict fought between member states of the Vabasian Union and the Republic of North Bardonia. This coalition of VU states conducted the conflcit in three main stages: Operation Talon, the destruction of North Bardonians ability to pose an aerial threat to the VU, Operation Quaking Sand, the military invasion of North Bardonia, & Operation Preserving Liberty, the pacification of North Bardonia and the capture of its military leadership.
In early July of 2018 an Papalanian military transport ship, the SS Whatchamacallit, was seized by North Bardonian Regional Admiral, Alfur Tarkos, on the grounds that it was carrying illegal cluster munitions. Both sides were aggressive and attempted to present dominances over the situation that lead to the conflict boiling over. After the seizing of the ships the VU and North Bardonia meet in Jaredistan, neutral ground, to discuss a peaceful resolution to the conflict but both factions' unwillingness to back down lead to escalation.
