The End of the Reclamation Crusades

Diplomatic action

The Reclamation Crusades were originally launched by Minister of War, Lord Saint-Guillermo Yurievichi of The Starguard, the Imperial Department of War by Executive Order of the then sitting ruler, Summa Imperatrix Judah the 27th. The Crusades were launched with the intent to reunify the lost sections of the Imperium during the Fractum Regulae Imperiales, an age in which the Imperium was ruled by a number of False Kings of the Al-Ayadi Al-Kubra.

In total, the Crusades lasted est. 587 Imperial Standard Years and by the time they were formally closed, 76% of Midgard was either under the control of the Imperium or its influence. The remaining 24% remains ambiguous and although the Crown declared an Executive Order to close the Crusades, the Office of the Minister of War officially has them under a pending status, as they have plans to return and finish the work they started and bring the entire universe under Imperial control. The Crusades formally ended on the planet St. James in the Liberty System when the Starguard crushed House Wellington and would have pushed forward to take Liberty entirely had the Executive Order not been declared. The Wellingtons were reinstated and made a noble house of the Imperium. Duchess Saamyya Wellington signed the treaty with the sitting Imperial Minister of War, Lord Wim Yurievichi.
