The deployment of carracks in the civil war led to a crippling of much of the larger interstellar trade that bound the ex-Covenant sphere. This action in turn exacerbated tensions between rival local [[Kaidon]]s, resulting in many feudal nobles turning to reignite abandoned forges for the creation of new ships.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

[[Wikipedia:carrack|Carracks]] were armed, three-masted ships developed by the medieval Genoese, and heavily used by the Spanish and Portuguese empires, to carry cargoes to and from their imperial territories in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans. It was a predecessor to the more well-known Galleon.
