1720 razzia on the Ostlandic shore

The razzia upon the Ostlandic shore was a significant period of maritime raiding and the pillaging of coastal communities by the Sea-Reavers operating out of the Warring Islands Special Autonomous Region of the Benacian Union. Carried out under the guise of assisting with the deliverance of the District of Moorland, and concurrent with the Wars of the Disinherited, the razzia reached its period of maximum intensity during the third through to tenth months of 1720 AN, before subsiding as the majority of coastal communities had been devastated and the allied intervention in Ostland drew towards a close.

With the evacuation of the District of Moorland having concluded, the services of the Maritime Support Group were once more engaged in order to conduct harassment raids against the littoral of Ostlandic occupied Nova England. Actions, which would include attacks on merchant shipping as well as the landing of raiding parties drawn from the Warring Islands Volunteer Regiment, were undertaken with the intention of drawing elements of the Ostlandic Heer away from the main axes of the Florian and Moorlander advance.

Although the concerted efforts at raiding had yeilded a significant haul of captives and plunder, and disrupted coastal maritime traffic, the reaving resulted in a moderate, but appreciable, number of friendly losses and did not yield a permanent advantage for the Benacian Union in the waters of Taylor's Bay. More importantly, the razzia did not result in the recovery of any appreciable quantity of native weaponry or technology.
