Action of March 5th 242

== Action of March 5th 242 ==
On the 5th March, 242, the Kolanski vessel KRV Galesk was attacked by a captured Varisian ship, the Symone, off the coast of Endiolaudika on a supply mission to the Republic of Novac. The battle ended poorly for the Kolanski, who lost the ship to pirates and were forced to destroy the ship's cargo. Of the crew of 50, only 10 were able to escape, arriving home hours later.
=== Aftermath ===
Emboldened by the capture, the Pirates mustered a raid on New Hybris, setting the home fleet on fire and attacking the north end of the city before the population was able to properly muster. This took place during the final day of the Generals' Council meeting to address the Fire of New Hybris, and enflamed further tensions.
Kolangrad's trade guild ceased all foreign trade over the attack, and Gregor Halsza VI increased taxes throughout Kolangrad to raise a new navy to combat the rising threat of piracy. King Daelin I acted similarly, and declared the Inter-Coastal War against pirates and all menaces to the seas.
