The NPC Raiders have struck twice at the Caribbean settlements, but found the populace unforgiving. PVP threw back an assault upon Baja in Spanish hands, whilst GRMLN repulsed a second incursion at Island Harbour under the pirate colors. Both settlements remain secure in their holders' grasp. Meanwhile, CFS has seized the moment and captured the neutral port of Chinchorro for Spain, extending Spanish dominion in these contested waters. CFS has tightened its grip upon the treasury leaderboard, ascending to command twenty-six ports—a net gain of one holding from yesterday's reckoning. The clan retains its paramount first position unchallenged. No other shifts have registered among the ranking powers, and the colonial hierarchy remains firm in its established order.
