The Battle of Matiavik was a battle of the Cassadian Civil War, taking place during the Imperial Parnello Offensive. The Duke of Teutonberg's Imperial First Expeditionary Corps, marching on the Euphemist city of Parnello, found itself under attack on 1st June 2013 by a significant force of Euphemists under the command of General Kliment Morozov. Hastily-entrenched Imperial forces held off Euphemist forces throughout the day before a counter-attack by Fourth (Duchy of Gestoria) Brigade forced a Euphemist withdrawal late in the day. Despite acheiving victory, Imperial forces were unable to capitalise on their success at Matiavik as lack of supplies forced them to halt their advance until 9th June. In this time, Imperial forces sustained their first defeat of the intervention at the (strategically insignificant) Action of Kobirit.
