The Invasion of Cetsencalia was the [[Varshan|Varshani]] invasion of [[Cetsencalia]] during the Final War of the Deluge. Launched after the [[Algoquona|Algoquonan]] failure in the [[Tepetlcali Campaign]], Varshan sought to relieve pressure on Algoquona and eject the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] from the Varshani border. The invasion happened concurrently with the [[Quetzenkel front|Invasion of Quetzenkel]]. The Varshani forces invaded with more than a million and a half men, overwhelming the initial defenses of Cetsencalia; Urcean and Veltorine defenders reached only about a half a million at the peak of defensive operations. During the fighting, about 44,000 allied soldiers were killed with a larger number captured. Varshani nuclear strike capabilities were neutralized at this initial stage of the war by [[Draft:Operation Overthrow|Operation Overthrow]], a joint [[Kiravia|Kiro]]-[[Yonderre]] operation. The Varshani offensive focused on a thrust up the central plains of Cetsencalia and intended on cutting the Urcean sphere on the south side of the [[Nysdra Sea]] in two, with small portions of the country and adjoining [[Quetzenkel]] to the east and the peninsula of the [[Northern Approaches]] to the west. | The Invasion of Cetsencalia was the [[Varshan|Varshani]] invasion of [[Cetsencalia]] during the Final War of the Deluge.

After the end of the campaign, Varshan pulled nearly half of its forces back to focus on the ongoing [[Corumm|Daxian]] invasion. The resulting [[Cetsencalia front]] was fought to a stalemate for the remainder of 2021. As a result of the capitulation of the Principality's government, the [[Veltorine Popular Defense Committee]] took up the cause of Veltorine resistance and pledged to continue fighting alongside [[NSTA]] forces. The remaining territories of former [[Cetsencalia]] under Urcean control were reorganized as the [[Veltorine Territories]]. The defeat was the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]]'s highest profile defeat since the [[Second Great War]]. | ||
Following the beginning of the invasion, a "Phony War" broke out in [[Algoquona]] as [[Urcea]] began a rapid withdrawal of its forces to face Varshan, while Algoquona could not mobilize sufficient forces to push the Urcean advances back. | Following the beginning of the invasion, a "Phony War" broke out in [[Algoquona]] as [[Urcea]] began a rapid withdrawal of its forces to face Varshan, while Algoquona could not mobilize sufficient forces to push the Urcean advances back. | ||
