With the outbreak of the [[War of the Northern Confederation]], the government of [[Varshan]] began a rapid rearmament and defense construction project in addition to a reevaluation of its military doctrines. As part of this rearmament effort, the shipbuilding industry in the Seneca Islands received a massive influx of government funding in order to help construct a navy which could sufficiently defend the Varshani mainland. Static defenses were also constructed on the island in addition to a large-scale purchase of anti-shipping missiles which were stationed on the island. The defense activity significantly improved the local economy and improved living conditions across every [[Varshani caste system|caste]], but also resulted in a large influx of slaves and construction of slave camps across the island. The local economy became increasingly reliant on large-scale shipbuilding efforts and slave labor. By the time of the [[Final War of the Deluge]], the islands were one of the top destinations of slaves captured in the [[Invasion of Cetsencalia]]. | With the outbreak of the [[War of the Northern Confederation]], the government of [[Varshan]] began a rapid rearmament and defense construction project in addition to a reevaluation of its military doctrines.
