Raiatia'atiauelao died a few years after the conquest from cancer and was succeeded by her daughter I'ikao, who was crowned as Káámarakatu Raiai'ikaokao in 1720. During her reign, she led the extensive conquest of Southern Vallos and the establishment of indigenous firearm manufacturing amd shipbuilding. Prior to her ascension, the Loa struggled against the superior naval power of the BRTC due to their small transport-based navy, but with the sudden acquisition of the pirate fleets of the Septrines, they found themselves able to more adequately contest the Burgoignesc on the waves, though they always had an advantage on the land due to relatively equal technology alongside superior numbers and knowledge of the landscape. She oversaw many technological advancements, such as the developments of offensive rocketry derived from native firesticks and Daxian rocket technology acquired at ruinous costs, the formalization of the navy and adaption of indigenous pirate tactics and ships to conventional warfare and the establishment of an organized infantry and artillery army called the [[Eighteen Standards Army|Celestial Eighteen Standards Army]]. In addition, she systemically annihilated existing power structures in place, with the mandate that a kingdom's land be divided between all the king's daughters upon his death, resulting in the fragmentation of the previously powerful Masa vassal kingdom as well as the further obliteration of the submitted kingdoms. She is thus credited with igniting the roots of [[Loafication]] as she mandated matrilineal inheritance and other Loa cultural elements not found on the mainland. She also forcibly migrated people to guard and work sugar plantations, often placing guards onto the lands of a hated enemy tribe to ensure loyalty. Her economic management and military development meant that the Loa Empire became the most valuable overseas asset of Kiravia and upon her death in 1745, the Empire consisted of most of southern Vallos with the exception of the Polynesians in current [[Almadaria|Almadarian]] territory and the [[Romany Kingdoms]]. After she passed from cancer, these would be conquered by her successor who would also lead the conquest of the Kindred islands.

Káámarakatu Raiatia'atiauelao was the following Empress and was especially notable for overseeing the greatest extent of the Loa Empire. She extended conquered the northern Polynesian kingdoms which had developed a coalition to resist the Loa. in 1748, the northern kingdoms were conquered and the attention of the Eighteen Standards was turned to the Romany Kingdoms of the northeast. The [[Ruin of the Romany|conquest]] was completed in 1751, which resulted in the severe persecution and migration of the Romany into the nearby lands, forming the basis of Navidadian [[Rumahoki|Delapasians]]. However, the majority of her attention was devoted to expanding the navy and conquering the Kindred Islands. The Loa Empire served as the primary force behind Kiravian efforts during the [[Kindred Wars]]. The western islands were quickly conquered throughout the 1750s and 60s, with the eastern islands being heavily contested between Kiravia, the Loa Empire, [[Pelaxia]] and [[Caphiria]]. These wars ended with the Loa keeping the [[Krasoa Islands]] while Pelaxia maintained control over it's colonies. These islands were then transferred to Kiravian control in 1774. In the last years of her reign, the Empress had planned for a conquest of the northern regions, but a succession crisis ensued when her direct heir died from cancer at the age of 19. This meant that her sister, Pueakao, rose as the heir to the Empire, and when Raiatia'atiauelao died in 1780 she succeeded her mother.
