PANDA has wrested Higuey from French hands, stripping NSCN of the strategically valuable settlement and planting the Pirate ensign in its stead. Concurrently, MATDR captured the previously neutral Cayman Brac, drawing it under Great Britain's dominion and further consolidating British control of the northern Caribbean reaches. A sweeping revision of battle schedules has followed these captures, with six ports—Higuey, Espiritu Santo, San Lazaro, Siguanea, Cayman Brac, and Jacmel—receiving fresh temporal ordinances for their forthcoming clashes. No defenses were mounted against either assault; no additional attacks stand queued. The leaderboard has shifted in MATDR's favour. The rising British clan has ascended from twenty-second rank to sixteenth, now commanding three ports and drawing correspondingly deeper draughts upon the treasury. CFS remains unmoved atop the standings with her commanding twenty-six holdings. MORC, by contrast, has slipped three positions, falling to twenty-second rank, though her port count holds steady at two. The currents of the Caribbean favour the swift and the bold.
