Kindred Wars: Difference between revisions

The '''First Kindred War''' was an armed conflict involving Kiravian] forces, in the form of the [[COMPANY NAME]] and the [[Caphiria]], against the [[Pelaxian Empire]]. Beginning in 1602, the conflict primarily involved the Kiravian companies invading Pelaxian colonies in the Kindred Islands known as “Las Agapornis”, Takatta Loa, and the Pelaxian mainland. The war can be thought of as an extension of the Pelaxian expansion over the Loa archipelago at the time.  However, the conflict had little to do with the war in Loa and served mainly as a way for Kiravia to gain an overseas empire and control trade at the cost of the Pelaxians.  Caphirian forces also assisted the Kiravian at certain points in the war (though in later decades, Kiravian and Caphirian would become fierce rivals). Because of the commodity at the center of the conflict, this war would be nicknamed the Spice War.

The outcome was that Pelaxial successfully repelled Kiravian attempts to secure the small [[Pelaxian Agapornis]] while the Kiravians were the victors in the [[Krasoa Islands]]. Caphirian ambitions also greatly benefited from the long-standing war between their two main rivals in West Sarpedon.
