What followed the overthrow of Mahmud was an ultimatum to restore his father which was rejected. Afterwards an eight month effort spearheaded by [[Daxia]]'s [[Australis]] governor, Marquis Shenbao to overthrow Akhmat. The climax of the campaign happened at the Battle of the Gates of Imarli where Akhmad's forces were decisively routed and his capital captured. Following the squashing of the remaining insurgents and the death of his only heir, Mahmud willed the Emirate to the Daxian emperor upon his death, which came two years later ending the independence of the islands. | What followed the overthrow of Mahmud was an ultimatum to restore his father which was rejected.

The acquisition of Truk greatly improved the [[Daxia]]n position on the [[Polynesian Sea]] and the [[Ocean of Cathay]] allowing it to greatly curtail piracy and encroachments westward by the [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth]]. Supplies to [[Freda Island]] and later [[Lotoa]] could be easily intercepted from Truk; this situation resulted in a more conciliatory policy by the Sarpedonians and increased trade. Politically the situation remained unsettled for some time, the transition from independence to Imperial subjugation was fraught with peril albeit the island's military potential to resist was somewhat depleted. Truk's existing wali's who ruled its independent islands remained in place but were now obliged to travel to [[Rakahanga|Rakin]] on [[Stenza|Australis]] and to pledge allegiance to the Emperor and secure a patent of legitimacy(by submitting tribute to the exacting amounts described in the [[Imperial Tallies]]) from the imperial governor. This process later took place on [[Imarli]] when Truk was given its own governor around 1740. | |||
