The Ninvite War (Gharbaic: حرب نينوى, Tamashek: ⴰⵎⵢⴻⵔ ⵏⵉⵏⵠⴰ) was an armed conflict between Fahran and Charnea that began on April 17, 1985 with the Charnean declaration of war. The outbreak of hostilities was preceded by the escalating guerilla conflict in the eastern Charnean region of Hatheria occurring from 1982 to the outbreak of the Ninvite War and continuing until 1986. The Charnean rationale for declaring open war with Fahran was the cited need to prevent the Gharib pan-nationalist regime of Fahrani prime minister Sabir Afzal Rahmani from supporting the predominantly Gharbaic rebel groups active in the east of Charnea and preventing the formation of a Fahrani-backed separatist state in Hatheria. Fahran cited numerous Charnean military incursions across the two nations' shared border as its casus belli, characterizing the Charnean activities and later declaration of war as an unprovoked aggression towards neutral Fahran whilst denying Charnean allegations of Fahrani military support for Hatherian rebels.

As part of the age-old Fahrani-Charnean conflict, the outbreak of the Ninvite War inflamed regional tensions that had long simmered below the surface as a result of centuries old grievances. The scale of the war quickly drew the attention of many nations in the east Scipian region and the Association of Ozeros Nations of which Fahran was a member. Charnea drew military and economic support initially from local allies such as those in Itayana but would later be forced to look further afield, petitioning aid from distant Mutul. Fahran was aided by neighboring Vardana with which the nation had coordial relations, and would begin to purchase arms from Alanahr as the war escalated.

The conflict would be one of the bloodiest wars of the 20th century, rivalled only by the Third and Fourth West Scipian Wars for the title of the largest war on the Scipian continent in that period. More than 1 million lives would be claimed by the fighting, with at least one in ten of those killed being civilian inhabitants of the conflict zone. The loss of life would be compounded by the economic loss of over $1 trillion as a result of war-related economic stress and direct disruption of economic activity by the war. The regions of eastern Charnea, western Fahran and the territory of Happara later involved in the war are significantly impacted by the effects of the war even in the present day.
