Raid on Bridgeport (625 K.C.)

The raid on Bridgeport (10 October 625 K.C.) was an unsuccessful attack carried out by the South Seas Confederacy on the Kingdom of Stormwind. Bridgeport, a port-city located within the Duchy of Westridge, was assaulted by a squadron of Confederate ships that stormed the harbor of the city and then proceeded to bombard the town from a distance. The First Regiment of Westridge, garrisoned in Westbrook Garrison, marched north quickly at the behest of the local garrison defending the city from attack. For three hours, the battle raged on until a relief force consisting of ships hailing from the County of Rustridge made their way south and engaged the Confederate squadron. Thereafter, a larger Confederate fleet sailed in to provide support as their remaining squadrons fled into open waters.

The raid marked the first appearance by the South Seas Confederacy, who up until that point had been operation as a loose union of pirates, smugglers, and mercenaries known as the South Seas Maritime League. The assault was meant to weaken the resolve of the Duchy and the Kingdom as a whole, in preparation for the Confederacy's incursion into Duskwood. This invasion of the Crown's lands marked the beginning of the conflict known as the Pirate King's War.
