Template:Namorese Civil War The Fall of Namo (Namorese: Намо Лансен or Namo Lansen), also known in mainland Namor as the Liberation of Namo (Намо Джикфан or Namo Jikfan), happened during the winter of NMR 2289 and the start of the year NMR 2290. It saw the capital of Namor, Namo, falling to forces belonging to the Liberationist Party of Namor.

As its successful Southern Namor campaign continued, the Liberationists planned the final assault against Republican forces controlling the capital. When December NMR 2289 came, President Jung To had already fled the mainland along with thousands of Republican loyalists to the offshore Peitoan archipelago, leaving Namo under the control of Vice President-turned President Tu Lanvei. At first, Tu tried to put up last resistance against the Liberationists surrounding Namo, but clashes led to 900 Republican soldiers dead and 500 Liberationist deaths. Within Namo, large-scale protests broke out calling on the Republicans to give up Namo and surrender to the Liberationists peacefully; much of this was done out of fear that Namo---an ancient city with many palaces and artifacts---would be destroyed if it was to fall to the Liberationists violently. Riots broke out moments before Tu made his decision, making it impossible for the regime to govern the city.

Finally, Tu Lanvei agreed to meet with Liberationist representatives. Tu offered to surrender Namo over to the Liberationists and in turn receive asylum for himself and other top Republican officials in Namo, and guarantee the immunity of foreign diplomats in the area. The Liberationists agreed to the proposal. On December 31, NMR 2289, Tu Lanvei signed a surrender document with Liberationist officials, and on January 1 of the new year Namo officially turned over to the Liberationists. The Republican army was demobilized, allowing the Namorese Liberation Army free passage into the city. With Namo fallen to the Liberationists, the Republicans' rule over the mainland effectively crumbled, leaving a brief power vacuum in the Republican leadership until Jung To declared himself President again, this time from Peitoa. The Fall of Namo is considered by some historians to be the last major engagement in the Namorese Civil War.

During the time of the Republicans' existence, there was controversy surrounding whether the Fall of Namo marked the end of the Republic of Namor. Although the Liberationist People's Republic of Namor maintained (and still maintains to this day) that since Tu Lanvei signed the surrender document in powers vested in him as President of the Republic of Namor, the surrender document ended the Republic of Namor once Namo fell. The Republic of Namor on Peitoa, however, said that the surrender document was illegitimate and forced by the Liberationists, and did not receive approval from Jung To.
