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, and eager to mark 20 years on the throne on a high note.

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.

The expedition was launched with the annexation of Nova Victoria, an area barely months before under the sovereignty of the Barbarian Republic. Following its sudden collapse, the Ralgons used forces stationed there under prior agreements to swiftly annex the city and save it from the chaos gripping the rest of Cibola's western mainland.

Summary of Major Battles and Events

Date	Location	Attacker	Defendant	Summary	Result
1689	Nova Victoria	Ralgon Barbarian Remnants Batavian Remnants	Vanic resistance Batavian Resistance	Ralgon troops stationed in Nova Victoria act against local anarchists to save the city from collapse.	City annexed in late 1689.

1694	New Ralgon	Ralgon	Vanic resistance Batavian Resistance Local undead forces	Battle of the Ralgon Sea, which (ironically) took place chiefly as a naval bombardment. Adrestian and Ralgonese troops bombard a long section of the coast and storm strategic beachheads as far east as Sanaman Cibola. While the beach is securely held and subsequently fortified, there is still enough sign of undead activity to warrant aggressive measures to secure the area. Due to the region's extremely sparse population outside the coastal zone and the Yixing metro area, hard control remains tenuous outside of what military bases the army could construct, the largest of these being Fort Medina, not far from Sanaman occupied territory.	Organization of New Ralgon with the port of Nova Victoria serving as the regional capital, with military headquarters inland remaining at Yixing.
