"De Kaap" (Cape) | Dragon's Fire

 * Leadership Structure: The organisation has been crumbling following the death of Lars Hatgers, the third Grand Dragon. He is succeeded by a senior chief who has better plans than to keep the organisation alive. Dragon's Fire in its current form is barely what it is, with its dissolution becoming more likely every day. (Stage 2 of 3 dissolution is commenced.)
 * Grand Dragon:
 * Mechiel Tangelder (b. 1480 - d. 1549, office 1502 - 1542)
 * Koen van der Wel (b. 1502 - d. 1570, office 1542 - 1559)
 * Lars Hatgers (b. 1515 - d. 1577, office 1558 - 1577)
 * David Hospes (b. 1540, office since 1577)
 * Senior Chiefs: Three figures
 * Government: A provisional government was established in place upon the settlement of Kaapstad as a provisional outpost and settlement initially. Leadership of the Dragon's Fire remains dominant and ever since the death of Hatgers as the third Grand Dragon in its organisation's history, it is shifting away from being led by an organisation to simply becoming a hybrid republic and colonial government (despite being unassociated with the Netherlands de facto and de jure). The Governor position is created by the new Grand Dragon, David Hospes on 1579, electing himself as the first Governor of Kaap.
 * Government Type: Provisional council
 * Premier of Kaap: David Hospes (b. 1540s, office since 1579)
 * Membership: 110 members are 'full' members of this organisation, while 150 of them are former members of this organisation. The current 'population' of De Kaap (Cape) is 520, though the population would struggle to survive the new climate. Also including from the privatisation compromise are those ships (they may be scrapped; but discussions around trade with other ports are considered as late as the late 1570s):
 * 4 transport ships
 * 1 caravel
 * Diplomacy: N/A
 * Operations: N/A
 * Events:
 * Survival of the Fittest (III): Population growth is observed for the first time after few more seasons of harvest. Development of Kaapstad (as an outpost) continues as one of the ships have ventured out from the Cape of Good Hope for the first time after lying there for years now. This was between 1587-88, where one of the older crew went out and returned with a shipment of food and other building resources to consolidate settlement. This angered natives, who are becoming more aware of the Dutchmen who fled their country and are expropriating territory essentially by building on top of their land with settlements.
 * Fall of Dragon's Fire (II): The second phase of ending Dragon's Fire is underway. Half of the organisation is dismantled by the fourth Grand Dragon, as he now only refers himself as the Premier of Kaap rather than being the leader of some organisation. The organisation is already obscure at this point since the end of Tangelder's adventures and supporting the Dutch revolt unconditionally.
 * War Against Natives: On July 1589 (in the middle of winter, before harvest), a few indigenous Khoisan people in the outskirts pillaged a small farm owned by one family. In retaliation, the father of the family (who was one of the people who travelled to Kaap together by the Dragon's Fire fleet) shot two with his outdated arquebuiser. Knowing that Kaapstad is now under threat again, these people are going to come back. The next wave came on December, once again leading to another reprisal. A war between the natives seems to be on the verge for these people and the survival of this independent Dutch colony (as they are not funded by the Dutch government) is on the brink once again.
