{{Further|Barbary Straits colony}}
{{Further|Barbary Straits colony}}Amid the outbreak of the Barbary Wars, while much of the anti-piracy conflict was centered around the Barbary Straits between the Buroignesc Navy and corsairs hailing from what is modern Battganuur, the range of Barbary pirates stretched even further north reaching even the domain of [[Soirwind]]. Soirwind being at the time a colonial domain under what is modern day [[Fiannria]], the spike in piracy interrupting crucial trade routes between Fiannria and Soirwind quickly drew the ire of the Levantine state. In ____ Fiannria sent a punitive expedition towards the region to combat the corsairs. Rebuffed from operating in the main combat zone and drawing too close to the Barbary Straits itself, the Fiannan war fleet set for the north towards the northern Sea of Istroya to hunt down Corsairs who broke through and expanded operations that more directly impacted Fiannria itself. The war fleet would operate between the [[Hezikian Isles]] and Soirwind for the next three years in its attempt to guard trade routes and eliminate pirate holdouts and outposts.

As the conflict in the Straits themselves raged on, the Fiannan central government would delegate more and more operational authority towards the holy orders which persisted as remants from the Crusaders and independent privateers in combating northern Barbary Piracy. This culminated in the year of _____ following the victory in the Barbary straits themselves, a large contingent of Barbary ships which survived the punitive Burgoignesc expeditions escaped to the north in order to flee arrest and execution and also find a new base of operations, instead off the southern coast of Soirwind, found a fleet of privateers and corsair chasers waiting between the coast and the island of Antilles. This fleet of holy orders, privateers and colonial defense ships from Soirwind, having gotten word of the coming fleet had gathered in the strait to attack and nip the bud of any continued corsair activity in the north. The resultant battle, the [[Battle in the Kamtague Narrows]], saw the bulk of the remaining corsair force sunk or captured, and the remnants scattering, breaking any chance of a major Barbary incursion returning to operate in the north. {{Further|Burgoignesc colonial empire}}

</gallery>Independence in the southern regions of what would be modern day Battganuur came at an interesting time for the modern state of Fiannria. In desperate need for funds and resources following the wars which consumed the young Commonwealth's early years and somewhat political isolated following the success of the republic within the Holy Levantine Empire, the Commonwealth would seek for new relationships among the new young kingdoms and states that make up southern Battganuur. Both merchants and veterans of the early wars in Fiannria would find audiences in the courts of newly independent emirs who were interested in access to western-style tactics, western military equipment, and resources. In exchange for vital Levantine manufactured goods and weaponry, along with expertise, Fiannan merchants got a crucial lifeline in resources and income to allow the young Republic to survive and continue to fund its reconstruction. The relationships established by newly establish states formed in the wake of the independence movements in Audonia and the Commonwealth of Fiannria when it was in desperate need of allies and trading partners would come to define much of the relationship of Fiannria and Audonia from then on and establish a policy of state-building, support and relationship building between Audonian states and Fiannria during this period and after.
