The NPC Raiders' now-familiar campaign of frustration met fresh defeat this turn upon two Caribbean strongholds. TROP's vigilant garrison at Pedro Cay threw back the raiders' coordinated assault upon Pirate holdings with steady discipline, the Jolly Roger remaining defiantly aloft. To the south, BUCAN proved equally formidable at Baracoa, repulsing the raiders' incursion and preserving Spain's dominion over that fortified harbour. Neither engagement surrendered ground; the territorial map endures unmoved and the raiders' catalogue of humiliation lengthens yet again. The treasury leaderboard has shifted at its apex. KAMI ascended to supremacy, displacing TROP from the pinnacle—a reversal wrought not by conquest but by TROP's loss of a port, falling from forty holdings to thirty-nine. KAMI, commanding an equal number of ports, now claims the crown. The established hierarchy trembles; Caribbean dominance passes to fresh custodians at the leaderboard's peak.
