First Battle of Namakavar (11898)

The First Battle of Namakavar (11898) occurred on the 19th of February, 11898, just 4 days after the Xallic Coup d'Etat, and was fought between the New State Army of the Provisional Democratic Government, and the State Army of Źovar. The New State Army, who had only arrived in Namakavar two days prior, were very unprepared for the attack, and so did not put up much resistance to the oncoming army. 35 New State Army soldiers died in the battle, to just 24 Źovari troops dead. The conclusion of this battle led to the military occupation of the town, and the release of several low-ranking former government officials of the Xallic Nation, such as Hanak Zakar, a former minister in the Xallic Nation who would become the leader of the Military Council of Anti-Tamarist Xallic Territories. Namakavar would remain under Źovari occupation until the conclusion of the Military Council in the late hours of the 14th of March, 11898.
