There is a large local deep sea fishers in the port.
- Shipyard: The Luksilian shipyard can repair and maintain larger shipgoing vessels, but do not have the capacity to build them. They can build smaller ships and specialises in larger fishing vessels.

It focuses on infantry tactics and strategy as well as how to use a fleet as part of mobility warfare.

In Zorakin it is mostly unheard of or considered a joke. The academy is all theoretichal and there are no room for practical training.

History
The Luksilian tribes where approached by Dalkian traders as early as 300 B.O. The trade between them grew larger and larger and eventually they came to the conclution that they needed to build a real port to handle the trade. The Dalkian twhom had more experience promised to assist with their competence if the Luksilians payed for it. Together the two people build the port and city of Luksilo. The Dalkian arcitecthure where clearly visible and still remains today.
