The Atlasian Civil War was a conflict fought on the Caledon archipelago between the years of 2141 and 2145. It was fought between the Patriots of a New Atlas, United Revolutionary Front, Regional Defence Council, Republic of New Atlas, Atlasian provisional government, along with the smaller groups. The civil war occurred directly after Atlasian attempts to put down the Freforn rebellion and the two are often considered part of the same conflict. Due to the tense peaceful rearmament many nations were going through in the 2140s, foreign involvement was limited in this conflict.
Background
The Caledon archipelago saw untold growth of poverty after the collapse of the maritime industry in 2100, which was the main economic sector of the UAS. The economy reached it's peak low in July 2139 with an unemployment level of 70% and having shrunk 48% since the beginning of the crisis. The economy began to recover slowly due to a combination of long term recovery programmes and Atlasian allies ordering ships built in their yards in order to support their geopolitical strategy.

- Main Article: Freforn rebellion
For the next 19 months after peak low conditions improved drastically on the mainland, while the outlying islands lagged behind in recovery efforts.
In December 2140 a spontaneous wave of riots in Freforn overthrew their local governments, forming their own and declaring independence. The gutted Atlasian armed forces commandeered and retrofitted patrol vessels and cargo ships to supplement their own forces. The resulting attempts to retake Freforn incurred heavy casualties on both sides with only a minor beachhead established for the federal government.
Meanwhile a drug smuggling crisis between Nuvastia and Surnay resulted in Nuvastian naval vessels beginning patrols to stop the smuggling. Economic slowdown caused by this crisis indirectly impacted the fragile recovery of the Atlasian economy, which resulted in another economic collapse similar to the one in 2100, undoing the last 40 years of progress.
