Inter-Coastal War

The Inter-Coastal War was an anti-piracy war declared by King Daelin I of Hybretia on March 5th, 242, the first such war since the Inter-Coastal War of 89KOR. It's purpose was to seek and destroy Piracy in the west, to "chase renegades from coast to coast".
On March 7th, the HMS Sunset was rammed and sunk by a pirate vessel in the Dire Straits, also damaging the HMS Resolute, but not HMS Dogger, which also participated in the battle. This battle lead to the Empire of Kordowyn fully joining the war. Shortly after, a small raid was conducted against Kilmore Quay in the Kingdom of Garman, angering the Garmanese government. 
A pirate fleet was found and destroyed by the HWS Denorios and her sister ship HWS Corinthia on March 12th, similar actions left the pirate fleet severely weakened. An attack by the Symone, a captured Varisian Man o War, was thwarted in a miraculous fleet maneuver by the KRV Bakro Moija on March 17th in the Battle of the Dire Straits. An attack on New Hybris was averted in the Battle of Endiolaudika which destroyed a large host of enemy vessels, and lead to the capture of some of their men.
Through troops captured in the Battle of Endiolaudika, Hybretia became aware of the Pashayete of Iksis and their responsibility for some, if not all, of the attacks committed against Hybretia and Kolangrad. 
In early April, an allied fleet began massing in New Hybris to seek and punish the pirates capitol, Iksis. A hybretian and Kordynian scout force departed on April 10th and returned on May 15th. The fleet departed and struck Iksis on June 18th. The Battle of Iksis was a major victory for the Empire and her subjects, but four days later on June 22nd, the Gretian Imperial Navy arrived to defend their protectorate, resulting in the Battle of the Western Seas and the start of the Great War.Category:Wars
