 * Events:
 * Further Explorations, Part 1: A Valcan expedition is made to the uninhabited island of Bermuda (carefully made around the Colombian Triangle), hoping to scout out the island for potential future settlements. Some ships traveling to Caddo make a quick excursion up a river running through their capital of Houma. The Natchez and Choctaw people are encountered before we must turn around near OTL Greenville. The river is marked as the Misisipí River on newer maps.
 * Nightfall Naval Navigation Inadvertence: Two ships crossed paths on a stormy evening. One was southbound for Nueva Valencia, carrying manual workers and slaves (many of them Osnerolese) to further construction efforts. One was northbound for San Vicente, carrying soldiers and generals to bring order to a new frontier. The southbound captain headed to rest, for he was plagued with a churning stomach, leaving the first mate in charge. The northbound ship pulled out from the fog, on a collision course with the southbound ship. Whether the first mate did not see or did not care, he did not change his trajectory. The southbound ship crested a wave, and the laborers awoke. Rising to the deck to see the commotion, they noticed the swiftly moving northbound ship headed for their port side. Scrambling around in panic, they turned towards the first mate, charging him with fists clenched and fearful minds. The first mate turns, startled at the chaos and realizing the danger the ship is now in, sharply drives the ship to the side as he is knocked back from the ship’s wheel. The ships are now facing each other and traveling too fast to prevent the outcome. A slave grabs the southbound ship’s wheel and yanks it to the side, coming almost parallel with the northbound ship. The soldiers see the workers attempting to steer the out-of-control ship and prepare their weapons, firing on the laborers. The Battle of Retorcida has begun.
 * Battle of Retorcida: Off the shore of an island in Nueva Valcania, a battle stirs up the water and burns two once-grand ships. The Viento Fuerte, a military transport armed with cannons, collides with the Agarre Tormente, a transport being used to carry slaves between the islands. Soldiers on the Viento Fuerte fire cannons, arquebuses, and crossbows at the slaves and laborers aboard the Agarre Tormente, killing some and setting the ship ablaze. It leans to the starboard side and drives its bow into the side of the northbound transport, and both ships splinter and crash into the sea. Laborers charge the sinking military ship and attack the soldiers as they reload, seizing weapons for themselves and rushing to fight. The soldiers, though outnumbered, easily take out a number of workers before both ships fully sink. Some soldiers manage to escape on rafts or the ship’s launch and make it to Nuevo Perrogo, where they receive help and reorganize. As both vessels sink, the laborers and slaves aboard both ships are left for dead. A few manage to make it to the nearby island of Retorcida (OTL Acklins), where they spread news of the massacre and stir up anger and fear of oppression, especially amongst the Osnerolese population. The battle may be over, but before long all the colonies will feel the effects of the tension between the workers and the government.
 * VWEA Reaction: The Valcan West Expedition Alliance takes the side of the soldiers in the battle, supplying them with as many arms as they can give and warning the people of Nueva Valcania that the Osnerolese pose a threat to safety.
 * Population Growth: Due to less migration to the colonies and temporary decrease in food growth, the population growth of Nueva Valcania decreases.
 * Who Cares what the Queen Says, Religious Freedom: An Alliance between the Osnerolese and Protestants, making up a good portion of Nueva Valcania’s population convince the governor Claudia Collizan to pass religious freedom laws. Conversion of natives ends as religious freedom policies kick in, and Protestants, Catholics, and Osnerolese coexist peacefully, for now at least. When Inquisitors come knocking to take away the Protestants, a good amount go into hiding or are hidden by neighbors, leading to a statistical decrease in Protestants. (Tangle this means get your nose out of our business)
 * WTF Are You Doing on the Land We Stole from You: Many Osnerolese are sold into slavery where they face harsh working conditions and some die. Some are converted to Christianity. Others are just flat-out executed.
 * Full Transition: Plans are made to soon move the headquarters to Nueva Valencia.
 * Native Reservations: The Osnerolese’ designated islands are mainly the smaller ones found in the Andros region, though there are more small ones elsewhere.
 * Marksmen of Nueva Valcania: Large amounts of arquebuses are shipped in to the colony, as well as some more prototype wheellock guns. Training for these weapons is increased.
 * We would just like to reiterate that at this point colonies still have a pretty high degree of autonomy, and that we are an independent company that owns this colony. The colony does not directly fall under the monarch's command.
