The Capture of Truk was the conquest of the independent Truk Domain by a military force of Daxia's Qian dynasty in 1673. Part of the Daxian filibuster wars, the capture of Truk was long desired for its valuable position on the Southern route and close to the Kindreds, its saltpeter mines and to bring to heel a troublesome independent polity.
