In order to meet their growing demand for raw resources, the merchants of Clan Wolf made an initial approach to the merchants of Clan Widowmaker for a year's worth of production from their bauxite mines on Dagda, bauxite being a vital component of [[Ferro-Aluminum Armor]].  While amiable to trading with them, the Widowmaker merchants were overruled by their Khans and the deal fell through.  This forced the Wolves to declare a formal challenge for the bauxite and in the Trial of Possession which followed the Wolves were victorious.  Angry at being forced to give away a valuable resource due to what they saw as their warrior caste's arrogance, the Widowmaker merchants took the drastic step of formally petitioning the Grand Council to censure their Khan, [[Cal Jorgensson]], for his negligence.  Fearing that the Wolf Khan Jerome Winson was behind this seditious petition Khan Jorgensson took drastic action: on 7 June mass arrests were carried out and the protest's ringleaders were executed.<ref name=WCS22/><ref name=CWK14/><ref name=EDGC4>''Era Digest: Golden Century'', p. 4</ref><ref name=HOKp101>''Historical: Operation Klondike'', p. 101</ref>
