The war against Piracy was an ongoing policy and subsequent conflict followed by the British Empire, and Elven Empire.
The term was first mentioned back in 2014 when groups of peaceful traders, most likely from the Elven Empire or Verussian Empire, decided to fight back against pirates.
The war is unlikely to ever end, and serves as a constant source of conflict on the server.
This is mirrored by the very real "War against terror" in the modern war, coined by President Bush not long after the attacks on the World Trade Centre and Pentagon, on the date 9/11. It is also by much of the Western World, including many of its adversaries.
