The Galasian Civil War is a multifaceted civil war in New Galasia, which started in Elva 1579 and have resulted in an estimated 50,000 fatalities. As of early 1580, approximately 2 million people remain displaced within New Galasia. There was also an exodus of amost 800,000 people from New Galasia as a result of the war, most of them establised in Angiris and Ustyara as refugees.

Before the war, New Galasia was multisectarian, with Ostrid Messanians and Olyndism believers being the majorities in Drazen and northern Eastmarch, Bukh'a Akhadism being mainly based in southern Drazen and western Eastmarch, and Zokukyar Akhadism being the majority in most of the Eastmarch region. The monarchy of New Galasia had been run under the control and influence of the Ostrid nobility, which however failed to impose the Messianic faith to the natives of the Eastern region. The civil war in Wadiyah and the displacement of two million refugees during 1572 and 1576, along with northern Ustyaran immigration, contributed to shifting the demographic balance in favor of the Akhadic population in Eastern New Galasia. The murder of heir Arcturus Neretus and the death of King Neberen had a powerful disintegrative effect on the New Galasian state, specially when Regent Ambrosius assumed full powers and suspended Eastmarch legislative assembly.

The murder of Rîsep Gûndî, Grand Kuzhe of Eastmarch, on 28 Dein 1579, by unknown gunmen, cause a huge unrest between Akhadic believers, and it was the last spark in Eastmarch for the beginning of a social and political crisis. Demonstrations and riots followed on the next month which soon escalated to a military confrontation when Galasian officers deserted and joined the rebel forces.

On Elva 15, a group of ethnic Rojadavi officers proclaimed in Sermîyan a "Provisional Council for the National Resistance" and promised "free elections" with the aim of creating a "federal state". The purge of military officials by Regent Ambrosius after the terrorist attack against Prince Arcturus Neretus had weakened New Galasian Armed Forces, so the eastern rebels had their momentum. Alsace government focused to reinforce and defend Eastmarch, the largest city of the Eastern region nearby the Angirisian border, and New Galasian forces used their air force superiority to limit the advancement of the rebel forces. However, the surge of Akhadist insurgents from Ustyara, which were able to take even some areas and villages in Southern Drazen for a while, complicated the situation which estacalated into a civil war already in late 1579.

In the last months of 1579, the government seemed to secure its position, recovering Nova Tuiral -second largest city in Eastmarch- and strengthening through the western and southwestern regions. However, on 4 Elva 1580, a coup d'etat which resulted in the murder of Regent Ambrosius and several members of the royal family weakened the advance and the government forces in Eastmarch lost the Air Force support. Asa result, the New Galasian Armed Forces took power in Alsace, with a group of military officers proclaiming the "Council of National Unity" as the only legitimate force in all the country. Therefore, the situation in the Eastern region became a multifaceted civil war, with the Alsace government weakened in Eastmarch, facing both revolutionary rebels, forces still loyal to the monarchist government, and radical Akhadist insurgents in the south.
