The Directory approved his campaign to capture the Klossic Region, as a launching point for an attack on Vodran interests in the adjacent Ywush Region. Altharra's Ywush Armada arrived in the Klossic Region the following year. He defeated the Klossic forces, but lost most of his fleet to the Vodran at the Battle of Lintab.
