Throughout most of the 1570s-1590s the conflict was contained to the [[Odoneru Ocean]], [[Sea of Canete]], and [[Sea of Istroya]], but dealing with established relationships and networks of alliances was costly and slow. In the early 1590s a Caphirian explorer found truffles in the [[Zaclaria|Emirate of Zaclaria]] and the races turned into a violent geopolitical struggle for the southern entrance to the [[Aab-e-Farus]]. | ||

It saw a massive investment in the [[Imperial Naval Fleet]] and merchant marine of [[Caphiria]] and likewise the various [[Navy of Burgundie|navies of the coastal Latium]] and [[Merchant Marine of Burgundie|their merchant fleets]]/trading companies. It largely faded out as a specific conflict when the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc duchies]] shifted their focus to [[Burgoignesc_Colonial_Empire|colonization]] and generalized raw material extraction as opposed to resource-specific forays. | |||
In the [[Levantia|Levantine]] sphere it saw the introduction of {{wpl|galleons}} which eventually overtook {{wpl|carracks}} as the primary ship for overseas navigation. | |||
