Tedious Dolphin War

The Conflict

Prelude

Before the beginning of the Dolphin War, the small tropical island of Starosa was building up its economic gain and exports became a major part of its economy. Dolphins are known for their great intelligence and this time, they had seen something going on with trade ships entering Starosa.
The Dolphins were from an area called the Shallow Tunnels and it took most of the war just to find the dolphins, all the fighting took place in the last few days.
This caused them to attack a shipping freighter and killing its captain, scaring the residence of Starose. Following this, the Starosan navy sent an all-out attack on the dolphins
