The Pelinese Civil War, alternatively referred to as the War of Pelinese Restoration inside Pelinai, was a civil war fought in Pelinai between 1979 and 1982 by two factions commonly referred to as the Whites and the Reds. The Pelinese Whites were a mixed coalition of revolting military units and civilian militias supporting conservative, anti-secularist, traditionalist, monarchist, and Christian democratic ideologies, such as the Army of Pelinese Restoration, the National Defense Brigade, and the Belogoran Democratic Front, united under the central leadership of the Pelinese Provisional Government. The Reds were a communist faction composed primarily of the incumbent government, the Socialist Republic of Belogora, and loyalist elements of the Belogoran people's Army.

The Pelinese Civil War is one of the deadliest internal conflicts in Pacifican history, with over 7.0 million confirmed deaths of combatants and civilians. The conflict is notable abroad for its widespread usage of chemical weaponry, as well as for the extensive atrocities and large-scale conventional warfare operations that occurred during its progression.
