A police force was formed and a militia trained during the lunch hour to protect the port. In January 1813 over 200 Recepi stormed the warehouses, looted, and burned them to the ground. The militia was unable to assemble and the police officers were drunk and never reported to the scene. The Burgundian South Levantine Trading Company applied to the HLE for assistance but was rejected as the Fiannrian White Revolution, the Burgundian War for Independence, and the various rebellions in Alshar were a higher priority. The Burgundian South Levantine Trading Company, unable to get help through its political connections reached out to its rival, the Burgundian West Punth Trading Company. Despite its massive military commitments across Alshar the Burgundian West Punth Trading Company "sold" 11,000 Kula soldiers to the Burgundian South Levantine Trading Company on the condition that they take the families as well. The Kula were proving to be particularly difficult allies for the Burgundian West Punth Trading Company so the hope was that resettling them would maintain the alliance but weaken their fighting force so that in the event of a victory in the region, they could be managed as a subservient power. The 24,839 Kulas, including both the soldiers and their families, arrived in September of 1813. They were given a quarter to themselves and were set to work building a wall around the city center and the port facilities. | ||
