A plundering expedition or razzia undertaken by the Cibola Directorate of the Honourable Company, spearheaded by the ESB-Brunïakis-Afzælt, in the southern hemisphere's winter season of 1685, in the aftermath of the collapse of the Franco-Batavian Empire, for the purpose of taking slaves and recovering artefacts for resale in the emporiums of the Raspur Pact. After pursuing fugitives fleeing towards Barbary, the raiding force overwintered in Kronstadt, before returning southwards with plunder and captives to the site of Moorheim during the summer of 1685/86.
