The Iso-Pirate War was an armed conflict which began in Y2S3. Following the establishment of Skull Cove the Ye Olde Pipe Club began archaeologic and maritime salvage operations throughout New Eden. During this period the Isolationist empire had spread to, depend on reports, half a dozen to a dozen native villages throughout the planet. Despite building a large base immediately to the north of New Eden City, the Isos had not normalized relations with LEIGH&CO prior to the onset of the war. Additionally the Isos, due to their ideology, had largely rejected the Land Office and protection from LEIGH&CO in general. As a result, these lands were largely in legal jurisdictional limbo.
Against this backdrop, at some point the Ye Olde Pipe Club began stealing materials from an untold number of Iso storehouses scattered throughout the planet. The theft became known to mrunix who retaliated by using the Land Office system to purchase land rights all around the fence of Skull Cove, hemming in the archaeologists/pirates. This created an Iso-owned buffer zone around their base and ensured that mrunix would always have a toe-hold at their facilities.
This clever use of legal maneuvering enraged the pirates, who proceeded to purchase large amounts of TNT from mrunix and other resellers, and then who used their own TNT against them to destroy two keystone villages, including the first village mrunix took shelter in after fleeing from New Eden City and its attendant oppression. A third village, 19k Mining Camp was torched by the dread pirate Wulfmundr.
