The Ralgon Reconquista, otherwise known as the Second Cibola Reconquista, is an attempt by the Holy Ralgon Empire to regain control over its former territories in Northern Cibola and liberate the former territories of its now-dissolved Barbarian allies in the western portion of the continent. The idea gained significant traction following Ralgon successes on the mainland, as well as a full recuperation of military assets from the disasters of five years earlier following the Ralgon Civil War. Furthermore, the Ralgon government realized that the recently liberated ancient capital of Jingdao, Zijincheng, stood in complete isolation from the coastlines or, simply put, from any allies whatsoever. After tense negotiations and divisions in the army, a two-pronged campaign was launched by the Ralgon Emperor Shiro, now 17 years into his reign,

The ultimate goal of the endeavor was the conquest (or, in the case of Bassarid-held territory, peaceful repatriation) of all lands formerly occupied by the Ralgon Empire, as well as the former territories of the Barbarian Republic, in the name of liberating and protecting allies with its own forces, following Barbary's sudden collapse. While pundits argue that the country is putting a significant portion of its power at risk (along with what remaining colonies and territories it still has left), Central Command has argued that this move is precisely what is needed to keep the Empire from slowly collapsing into oblivion.

Following the 1685 Crisis and its attendant losses, the Ralgon government elected to forego territorial expansion and yield sovereignty of Nova Victoria to its allies in the south. Its first move was to re-occupy the city in a manner similar as the last time.
