{{Further|Shauku Archipelago#Varshan conquest of the Shauku Archipelago}} | |||
Following the abandonment of the [[Far East Colony]] in [[1817]] by the [[Burgoignesc Kandahar-Kandara Trading Company|Marialanii Ularien Trading Company]] the native Oyashi daimyos and ambitious Matsutori mainlanders formed various factions and started fighting to control the territory. One such faction was the [[Oyashima#Republic_of_Matsumori|Republic of Matsutori]], a short-lived [[Occidental]]-inspired republic beset by domestic political divisions and ethnic tensions, and foreign territorial encroachments and diplomatic pressure. | |||
During the 1850s, under the of command the Zurg Tezomoc, Varshan initiated a multiyear-long naval expedition to the [[Shauku Archipelago]], thoroughly defeating the [[Oyashima#Republic_of_Matsumori|Matsutorine]] forces in the region and rendering [[Oyashima#Republic_of_Matsumori|Matsutorine]] control over the islands unfeasible. With the conquest of the [[Shauku Archipelago|archipelago]], Varshan had a foothold in the Far East of [[Audonia]] and would occupy the islands for the next 170 years. | |||
===Daxian military rule=== | ===Daxian military rule=== | ||
A joint naval invasion by Alstinian and Daxian forces pushed Varshan's forces from the islands and brought an end to its rule there. A period of popular resistance driven by Arzalist priests followed. The Daxian military enacted brutal mass reprisals and deportations that however succeded in quieting down the situation. Civilian varshani administrators were summarily dismissed, Arzalist shrines shuttered and all public gatherings of over three people prohibited. Whatever produce was imported from the mainland was requisitioned by the army to supplement its rations, the locals were introduced to a new diet consisting of disgusting [[Daxian Aspic|aspic]] food rations courtesy of [[Agario]]. Four months after introduction, there was a riot at a food distribution center in which twenty tons of aspic rations were set on fire. Daxian rule of the unruly islanders was becoming more expensive and less advantageous than previously thought. | A joint naval invasion by Alstinian and Daxian forces pushed Varshan's forces from the islands and brought an end to its rule there.

The native Ainu people of [[Shauku archipelago]] are famous for creating a type of boat called the {{wp|pinisi}} and [[Burgundie]] had reinvested in making these boats is a cottage industry for the islanders so that they can have their own indigenous deep-sea fishing fleet and local trading fleet with [[Sotsial]] and [[Oyashima]]. These ships are carries seven to eight sails on two masts, arranged like a gaff-ketch with what is called 'standing gaffs' — i.e., unlike most [[Occidental]] sailing ships using such a rig, the two main sails are not opened by raising the spars they are attached to, but the sails are 'pulled out' like curtains along the gaffs which are fixed at around the centre of the masts. This allows the gaff to be used as a crane to embark and disembark up to 200 tonnes of {{wp|breakbulk cargo}}. These ships usually carry timber, local produce, and commodities. Since the annexation of the islands by [[Burgundie]] there have been some converted to tourism crusiers and day trippers who h have proven wildly popular. The construction itself is also a tourist attraction. | |||
