The Deportation of the Deltinians (Creeperian: Deportación de los'Deltinianos), referred to by Deltinians as the Years of Despair (Deltinian: سنوات من اليأس; transliteration: Sanawat min al-Yas), was a 28-year long Creeperian government campaign to deport religious and ethnic Deltinians. The campaign, which lasted from 1949 until 1978, forcibly relocated millions of Deltinians from the traditionally "Deltinian departments" of Abdan, Helam, and Jakiz, to the southernmost department of San Juan.

The deportations began with the Proclamation of Deltinian Deportation which was issued by the General Courts on 25 December 1949 which called for the relocation of ethnic and religious Deltinians "out of core Creeperian lands" and to relocate them in another part of the country. The deportations were enforced by the Creeperian Army, Creeperian Imperial Police, Creeperian Imperial Guard, National Intelligence Directorate, and Romerist Nationalist Front. The Creeperian government ended the deportations on 26 February 1978 during the 1978 San Juan race riots, which marked the beginning of the Deltinian Insurgency, citing the prevention of allowing more potential Deltinian fighters from being sent to San Juan. Over the course of the deportations, an estimated 2.1 million Deltinians were killed, either through starvation, neglect, or murder.
