Brief, better conflict in 42 WR that took place shortly after Vortigern Pax and the communists rose to power in Mysidia to form the Mysidian Commonwealth. Eblan was highly alarmed at these developments, as they had internal communist revolutionaries of their own, led by Ichiro Mitsuhama. Eblan launched an attack on Mysidia itself and besieged the city, launching many missile strikes including one at the Tower of Wishes. The Mysidians appealed to the Scandian League for aid; the SLCM-Sea crushed the Eblanese Royal Navy and a numerically inferior SLCM-Ground force led by Halder Skalice outwitted the Eblanese force and destroyed it. The Eblanese commanders, Shogun Tiberius Shiawese and Deputy for Military Affairs Nauquan Kurita, argued over whether or not to retreat; the Shogun, arguing for withdraw, won out.

In the peace settlement, negotiated by Tally Quorsen, Eblan had to face humiliating restrictions on arms imports and faced crushing reparations payments. However, King Edge Eblana VIII later repudiated the settlement after an abortive communist coup, the March 16th Incident.

The conflict showed the inferiority of Eblan's conscript army and led to military reforms creating a volunteer force within EKAF known as the Mobile Corps. It also set the stage for lingering hostility between Mysidia and Eblan, and Eblan would later support the Porcine Republic.
