[hider=Event: The First Ocotpi-Human war- Beginnings]
The first Octopi-Human war started due to a raid by the southern most Indonesian pirate kingdom assaulted and pillaged the Octopi city state of Gibb. 

While the more southern Octopi city states were naturally outraged due to the violence done to their people by alien outsiders, when those rescued from the slave pens returned to Gibb with tales of what was happening to those taken caused fear, disgust and fury unseen in the species history.

Resources and volunteers flooded towards Gibb in order to rebuild the city and plan for the true counter offensive. The Octopi had never needed a standing, professional army but militia forces and hunting parties to deal with dangerous animals in defensive and offensive manners respectively became the foundation of one.

The veteran hunters who had successfully launched the counter raid would instruct their peers and newly recruited hunters on their new ‘prey’, while those with more defensive ideals would learn what they could of enemy tactics in order to develop more effective ways of defending settlements from future attacks.

Both would be put to the test during the battle of Gibb, when the raiders returned.
