Template:Campaignbox Tridentum Campaign

The Tridentum Campaign, was a campaign of the Great Astyian War that took place on the Tridenta peninsula in modern day Bungussi. Aquitayne sought to weaken the Empire of Exponent by opening a second front in the country's northern territories. The invaders launched a naval attack followed by an amphibious landing on the peninsula, to capture the Exponent city of Tilurium. The naval attack was repelled and after a year's fighting, with many casualties on both sides, the land campaign was abandoned and the invasion force was withdrawn. It was a costly and humiliating defeat Aswick and Aquitayne.

The campaign was a major Exponent victory in the war. In BC, it is regarded as a defining moment in the history of the state, a final surge in the defence of the motherland as the Empire of Exponent retreated. The struggle formed the basis for the rebellions that spelled the end of the Empire of Exponent in the nineties. The campaign is often considered to be the final push needed for Aswickan independence; 25 April, the anniversary of the landings, is known as "Trident Day", the most significant commemoration of military casualties and veterans in the two countries, surpassing Remembrance Day (Armistice Day).
