Talk:Revenue Guard

The Pukhtun Piracy and Smuggling Network

Starting in the mid 1800s the maritime mission of the Revenue Guard made a dramatic shift. Instead of being tasked with the protection of all Burgundian trade they were given forward operating bases in the form of the island colonies of AyerSee and Sodermark. AyerSee in particular became the headquarters of the counter-piracy mission of the Revenue Guard. It's proximity to the Pukhtun Piracy and Smuggling Network's base of operations it's importance led to a spate of high-level investment in military-style infrastructure and maritime research. Many Kharkaans were hired to create this infrastructure quickly and cheaply. Sodermark too followed suit with the "hiring" of Kharkaans to build the necessary amenities for the Revenue Guard on the island.

During the occupation by the Kingdom of Culfra, the Revenue Guard was relegated to collecting tolls on roads and lost its maritime capability.
