An Imperial outpost

The tyrannical Empire, no longer content to remain in the far off continental mainland, has decided to stamp out piracy once and for all in the archipelagos and bring them under the iron fist of Imperial authority. The Imperial Navy has recently been spotted constructing small forts and landing troops of marines on previously unclaimed atolls on the outskirts of the ocean, presumably to use as a base of operations for further incursions into pirate waters.

Visit an Explorers' hall to purchase a map showing the location of nearby outposts. Sail there, sink the imperial ship, defeat the soldiers stationed on the island, and make off with some of the Empire's money and supplies. Choose a sinking or non-sinking map and the size of the challenge you will face.
