+Fort Vriendskap ('Fort Friendship') was the first military building to be erected at the Cape Colony at Cape Frienship . It was built on the 18th of Febuary 2013.
-Hui
+The Fort was built by the Katten Oos-Awense Kompanjie (Katten East Avence Company), when it established a replenishment station under Kovio van Oranje on the shore of Gelukkig Bay in Febuary. Constructed of earth and birch wood, it was square, with a pointed bastion at each corner. The bastions were named Drommedaris, Walvisch, Oliphant, and Reijger. The bastions were named after the ships in Van Oranje's fleet.
+Within the Fort are living quarters, kitchens, a council chamber (which was also used for church services), a sick bay, workshops, and storerooms. Cannons were placed on the ramparts. A nearby stream was diverted and channeled to form a moat around the fort. Being built of earth, the Fort needed frequent maintenance and repairs, especially after heavy rains.
+Later on the 18th of Febuary, natives from Avence and the local Templar Branch raided the fort, burning it nearly all to the ground. A battle was fought, and most all non-military inhabitants of the fort were killed. Re-construction on the Fort would go under way after siginificant reenforcements had arrived in the area. The Cheif of the Locals, Shakomatiqua was maimed in the battle, and retreated back to his village of Nomba-Abensuna.
 ===== History =====
 === Founding ===
-During late Febuary, 2013 the Emerald trade was dominated by the Battkorts who used Mari as a staple port. Before the Kovanje Revolt, Dynstaad had played an important role as a distribution center in northern Battkort. However, after Febuary the Grundes used an international syndicate of the Finngolian Fuggers, that used Al-Iskandria as its northern staple port to distribute their goods, thereby cutting Dutch merchants out of the trade.
-At the same time, the Battkort trade system was unable to increase supply to satisfy growing demand, in particular the demand for carrots. Demand for emeralds was relatively inelastic, and therefore each lag in the supply of carrots caused a sharp rise in carrots prices.
+In late Febuary, an increasing number of fleets were sent out by competing merchant groups from around Kovanje. Some fleets were lost, but most were successful, with some voyages producing high profits. In March 1599, a fleet of eight ships under Kovio van Oranje was the first Katten fleet to reach the ‘Cape of Awense’ of Breshik. The ships returned to Kovanje and the expedition made a 400 percent profit.
-In addition, as Battkortistan had been united with the Breshik crown in 2013, with which the Kovanje Vrystaat was at war, the Battkort Empire became an appropriate target for Katten military incursions. These three factors motivated Katten merchants to enter the intercontinental emerald trade themselves. Further, a number of Dutchmen like Kovio van Oranje and Grunkat van Kreu obtained first hand knowledge of the "secret" Battkort trade routes and practices, thereby providing opportunity.
+Later, the Katten joined forces with the muslim Finns from Mazz Island in an anti-Battkhort alliance, in return for which the Katten were given the sole right to purchase emeralds on the cape. Dutch control of Vriendskap was achieved when a fort and trading outpost was set up at the Bay of Friendship. On the 13th of Febuary, the Katten worked rigerously to finish their fort, but a subsequent Battkhort attack led to a second change of hands; following this second reoccupation the fort was burned to the ground, the Katten once again captured Fort Friendship, however the entire settlement had been burned to the ground, and the death toll was immense.
-The stage was thus set for Kovio's four-ship exploratory expedition to Awense, the main pepper port of West Breshik, where they clashed with both the Templars and indigenous Breshikans. Kovio's expedition then sailed east along the north coast of Awense, losing twelve crew to a Breshik attack at Nova-Awense and killing a local ruler in Shakomatic. Half the crew were lost before the expedition made it back to Kovanje the following year, but with enough emeralds to make a considerable profit.
+Dutch advances were halted by an autonomous and powerful group of native Breshikans called the Templars. They remained in control of the Nova Avence trade and their resistance is on-going as of current.
-In late Febuary, an increasing number of fleets were sent out by competing merchant groups from around the Netherlands. Some fleets were lost, but most were successful, with some voyages producing high profits. In March 1599, a fleet of eight ships under Jacob van Neck was the first Dutch fleet to reach the ‘Spice Islands’ of Maluku. The ships returned to Europe in 1599 and 1600 and the expedition made a 400 percent profit.[10]
-In 1600, the Dutch joined forces with the muslim Hituese on Ambon Island in an anti-Portuguese alliance, in return for which the Dutch were given the sole right to purchase spices from Hitu.[11] Dutch control of Ambon was achieved when the Portuguese surrendered their fort in Ambon to the Dutch-Hituese alliance. In 1613, the Dutch expelled the Portuguese from their Solor fort, but a subsequent Portuguese attack led to a second change of hands; following this second reoccupation, the Dutch once again captured Solor, in 1636.[11]
-East of Solor on the island of Timor, Dutch advances were halted by an autonomous and powerful group of Portuguese Eurasians called the Topasses. They remained in control of the Sandalwood trade and their resistance lasted throughout the 17th and 18th century, causing West Timor to remain under the Portuguese sphere of control.[12][13]
