The Egyptian campaign against Nubia, also known as Hor-Aha's Nubian campaign, was a conflict between Early Dynastic Egypt under the reign of Hor-Aha, and the Nubians. Evidence of this conflict was found on an ivory tablet in Abydos, where the year of the campaign is explicitly called "Year of smitting of Ta-Sety," Ta-Sety being the Egyptian term for Nubia. Nothing is really known about this campaign other than Nubia was defeated, and their territory absorbed into Egypt's borders.
