==Overview==
The Battle of Halvden, also known as the Blitz at Halvden, was the first major engagement between forces of the Great Blessed Kingdom of Frielaedia and forces of the NEFSDF and the Colonial Jurisdiction Authority. Known to the Frielaedians as The Conflict of the First Human World, this battle was fought at a time in which the opposing forces knew little to nothing about their opponents, it was characterized by daring moves and hunches that often played out in unintended ways. Though relatively small in scale, it served as the catalyst for the bloody seven-year war that was to follow.
==Campaign==
The campaign on Halvden can be considered a large blitzkrieg operation by FRAFK forces, however the entirety of the campaign can be broken down into major engagements:
*Naval Encounter at Antipas (4 February)
*Skirmish around Ledu (5-11 February)
*Blitz of Congand (10-21 February)
*Battle of Santo Rodrigo (19-21 February)
*Assault on Gondelle (23 February- 3 March)
*Battle of the Frisian Plains (26-28 February)
*Battle of Manetu (28 February- 3 March)
==Outcome==
Though credited with a valiant effort, the token amounts of NEFSDF and CJA forces present on the planet were simply unable to organize a cohesive defense due to a severe lack in manpower, which by the end of the campaign meant that civilians as young as fifteen and as old as sixty-five were forced to pick up arms in a last ditch defense around the capital of the Halvden Free State, Manetu , which was also the largest city on the planet and it's primary cultural center. The relatively easy victory in this campaign caused Lundferluftik III and much of his general staff to underestimate Human military capabilities and provided the momentum needed by Lundferluftik to galvanize his people in support of his unpopular regime and embark on a war which would remain a primarily Frielaedian fight for the next four years.
