Crusades

The Crusades are a series of sanctioned military campaigns, defensive in nature, waged by allainces of the Grey Sphere, particularly the Holy Roman Empire. The campaigns began in response to overwhelming attacks on Grey nations and alliances by "Rouges". Because the rouges can't be sanctioned by the Grey they attack offten, targeting weaker nations, the Grey alliances began fighting back. In late 2010 when Emperor Charlemagne of the Holy Roman Empire decalred a "Crusade" against the rouges to protect the citizens of the Grey sphere, a joint effort began to form. They recived support from the other Grey alliances and thurs the champaings began. Mostly in defensive fashion, the campaigns attempt to overwhelm the rouges as much as possible to try and divert them from attacking any further. Unlike most military conflicts on Planet Bob, this one is not one single conflict or war but a number conflicts, thurs it cannot be definded as a single war.
