The 2021 Black Desert Conflict, sometimes called the Black Sands Conflict, was a three-day period of armed conflict between September 17 and September 20, 2021, in the Black Desert and Dnieper Hot Zone between OEPU-backed Serif Specialty Robotics and Eurasian Soviet-backed Zaftra Free Enterprise, noted by most to be the birth of the age of piloted robotics in warfare.

The conflict was ostensibly over control of the Pripyat Exclusion Zone. It began with Zaftra Free Enterprise firing live rounds on unpiloted machines in the region, and the armed response of Serif Specialty Robotics. The fighting concluded when the Special Research Force, the OEPU organization behind the Combat Experiments Team and their Serif front organization, ordered the Prima Lorica vehicles involved in the conflict withdrawn.

While the battles themselves were ultimately of no historical relevance, the data assembled revealed hints of the Ursa Ruska program to the OEPU and the lessons learned formed the basis of the Lorica Standard, creating the general doctrine of robotic warfare used in the Third World War two decades later.
