A war which saw the Gaien Dukedom launch an attack on the Kooluk Empire's southern frontier of El-Eal. Although the powerful Gaien Navy attacked El-Eal in confidence, their fleet was decimated by the strength and strategies of the Kooluk naval commander, Troy. Completely defeated and routed, the Gaien fleet pulled back, allowing Kooluk to advance, eventually annexing the Gaien colony of Middleport. The Gaien-Kooluk War greatly damaged Gaien aspirations for the islands of the Kuknasi Sea and led to the Dukedom playing a much more subdued role in the region in the future.
