The [[Southern slave trade|slave trade]] along the [[The Southern Route|southern route]] was still incredibly lucrative going into the 18th century, both the [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth]] and the [[Caphiria|Imperium]] were reliable buyers. Independent [[Daxia]]n slaving cartels owned by noble houses dominated most of the route east of [[Truk]] and into the [[Kindreds Sea|Kindreds]]; the most prominent of these houses were House Lian and House Kou. The continued prosperity and profits of these slaving actors would eventually be threatened by political currents from within the [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth|Commonwealth]] itself as several political groupings in Parliament backed by the local Catholic [[Levantine Catholic Church|curia]] put forth proposals that if implemented would end the practice of slavery in the [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth|Commonwealth]]. The Qian ambassador to Carto-Pelaxia, an habitual ally of slaver interests, quickly relayed the new developments to his masters across the [[Ocean of Cathay|Cathay]]. The reaction of the Qian court was mixed, Emperor Chanzui and many of his ministers were of a mind that the issue could be addressed politically and in any case more than slaves were traded with the Commonwealth. The noble houses of Kou and Lian on the other hand were outraged at the prospect of lost revenues but their entreaties for the sending of a Qian fleet to intimidate the Carto-Pelaxian parliament were rejected out of hand. Undeterred, Prince Kou and Prince Lian put forth a secret plan in motion to put a stop to anti-slavery legislation on their own. Under the pretext of fighting off the incursions of [[Loa]] pirates, they assembled a fleet of thirty ships in [[Peratra]] and raised a small army of 7,000 mercenaries which would later be augmented by some 3,000 pirates. This force would sail to the [[Kindreds Sea]] and under threat of bombarding the [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth|Commonwealth]] capital of [[Albalitor]] would secure the withdrawal of any anti-slavery legislation from being considered by parliament in addition to financial compensation to the sum of two million pesetas; if its demands were met the fleet would withdraw peacefully.

By the late 1780's the volume of [[Southern slave trade|slaves]] acquired by the [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth]] began to decline steeply due to labor reforms favoring the use of indentured workers and serfs from [[Vallos]] which represented a readily available pool of workers at cheaper rates. Certain powerful slaving interests at the [[Daxia|Qian]] court at this point advocated a policy of armed coercion against the weakening [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth|Commonwealth]]. Without waiting for imperial assent, the noble houses of Kou and Lian which relied on the slave trade around [[Vallos]] assembled a fleet of their own and augmented it with [[Loa]] and [[Rusana|Muslim]] privateers. Their plan was to occupy some or all of the [[Jusonia Islands]] and threaten the Carto-Pelaxian capital of [[Albalitor]] unless the new labor reforms were withdrawn by the [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth|Commonwealth]]'s government and an indemnity was paid. After some initial success, this slaver coalition was ultimately repulsed in both land and sea battles by the Carto-Pelaxians, one of the last notable military victories of the crumbling [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth|Commonwealth]]. Albeit unsanctioned by [[Daxia|Qian]] imperial authorities, the incident soured relations between [[Daxia]] and one of its most important trade partners; the sale of slaves to the Commonwealth all but dwindled into nothingness as that government put new legal roadblocks on the flesh trade and the Qian court destroyed the participating noble houses in retaliation for their insubordination.

The [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth|Commonwealth]]'s [[Kindreds Sea|Kindreds]] fleet during the 17th century was a much diminished force, it had a dedicated force of forty ships of which at least twelve were well armed ships of the line, fifteen frigates and an assortment of galleys, sloops, cutters and corvettes. While both opposing fleets had an almost near parity of ships of the line, the Carto-Pelaxians had the advantage in training and discipline; [[Smaragdus]]'s fleet was crewed exclusively by corsairs who were not known for discipline under fire. One decisive factor in the battle was the use by the Carto-Pelaxians of fire ships, a practice relied on by the Commonwealth to deter larger navies but which the slaver coalition was not familiar with. The Commonwealth was able to draw troops from the [[Albalitor]] military zones and neighboring regions and assemble a sizable relief force for the garrison of Aguaverde; like the fleet the discipline of these troops would prove critical in the land battles.
