Popular Post TheNG Posted April 3, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2016 April 2nd, 1685 Amsterdam, Republic of the United Netherlands It is no secret that the Company has enjoyed great economic success in recent months, particularly in our East Indies territories, repairing and expanding plantation complexes damaged in recent wars and raids. In addition, the expansion of trade networks, such as our contacts with the land of Japan, have increased our access to various rare luxury products that have boosted profits. It is only natural that such success breeds jealousy among those small minded individuals acting as parasites on European progress. A small band of pirates and brigands, calling themselves Arrgh, have of late made themselves a nuisance, attacking shipping and isolated outposts, and robbing the Company of valuable trade good and treasure. While of little consequence, these raids have affected profits slightly, and upon being presented with news of the situation, the Chairman, with the full support of the Council of the Indies, declared that an anti-piracy operation would be a suitable use of Company time. A number of agents were thus dispatched to the allied island kingdom known as United Purple Nations for the purpose of covertly organizing and arming the natives in the European fashion for use as auxiliaries. Unfortunately, the pirates, in their simple-minded savagery, decided to commit a violent assault against the natives, and thus drew them into conflict. While the Company primarily defends its own, and the lives of natives are of little value, their calls for assistance represent an opportunity not to be passed by. A company of marines were dispatched from East Timor, accompanied by 12 pieces of light artillery, and supported by a small fleet of sturdy vessels, the frigates VOC Sardam and VOC Mauritius, led by the flagship VOC Fortuyn. It is expected that this force will handily crush the disgraceful pirate rabble that have dared to trifle with the Dutch East India Company. The Company’s share prices rose slightly upon the news, and many expect these events to usher in a new era of power and prosperity for all.

Don't say we never told you so. But hey, we finally get the Historical Accuracy Pirates vs. Merchants war, right? 12 Quote "They say the secret to success is being at the right place at the right time.
