Pachuco clans contest Noirlan's Freeport trade concession
Unhappy with Noirlan controlling their trade with the other Merikan city-states the Pachuco ally with Tempus to try and seize control of the all-important Freeport trading outpost. After eight years of sporadic warfare the Noirlan Sea Commanders ease their restrictive controls and the Pachuco agree to a peace treaty.
