History

Origins

For the first two centuries of its existence, the Matriarchy of Lunderfrau did not have a standing naval force. Instead relying on pressing merchant ships and other vessels into servie during times of need. This was still a rare occurrence as the major conflicts of the 15th and 16th Century that Lunderfrau found itself in, such as the Lunder Conquests had limited naval actions that required a standing fleet.

Demand for a standing Navy began to increase after the expulsion of Lunderfrau from Orthuria in 1580 by Parthonopian and Aridian forces. Increased activity on the Bastion Islands, just 60 nm from Salzewinde by the Produese (who had claimed and settled the islands) in the late 16th Century only cemented this need. Despite this, popular opinion from both the Kaiserin Julia von Klein and the nobility prevented any action on the matter.

The 20 years War

With the Invasion of the Bastion Islands in 1612 and the subsequent Naval Defeat at the Battle of West Bastion in 1613. The Matrairchy found its typical strategy of hobbling together a rag tag fleet of Merchant ships, privateers and mercenaries incapable of handling the brutal efficiency of the Produese Armada. Even with the loss of the Bastion Islands in 1613 along with the intermittant raiding of Lunderfrau's coastal towns, it was not until the failed Produese invasion of Lunderfrau in summer of 1617 that Julia put forward the creation of the Kaiserliche Marine.
