The Dirty War was a violent guerilla campaign by anti-Imperial Darnussian forces on the mainland of Darnussia against the occupying Narikatonite Empire. The anti-Imperial forces had two goals: 1, to drive the Narikatonites of the mainland, and 2, to eventually unite Republican Darnussia. It was the bloody interlude to the two major wars of the Narik Wars. Following the Dirty War, a 28-year period of peace followed, after which the Second Narik War broke out.
