====Launch of the Crusade====

On June 10, YC110, the Minmatar Elders and [[Thukker Tribe|Thukker Tribe]] launched an invasion of the [[Ammatar|Ammatar Mandate]] and Amarr Empire with the intent of freeing as many slaves as possible. The Elder Fleet, as it came to be known, inflicted heavy damage on both nations, before it was halted over [[Mekhios]] by [[Jamyl Sarum]]. The remnants of the fleet retreated toward the Minmatar Republic, where it was allowed to pass freely despite a bounty offer by [[CONCORD]].

In response to the aggression of the Minmatar, the Amarr Empire wished to declare war. CONCORD, however, ordered a cease fire and brought the full power of its rapid response capability to bear in enforcing this directive. However, with similar hostilities occurring between the [[Caldari|Caldari State]] and [[Gallente|Gallente Federation]], CONCORD was pressured into allowing combat. Rather than plunge the cluster into the chaos of all-out war, the empires agreed to fight a semi-proxy war, utilizing the capsuleers as their main fighting force, with Navy ships acting in defensive positions only. The combat would additionally be limited only to border-regions between the hostile entities; in this case, within the Sasen, Tandoiras, and Vaarma constellations of [[the Bleak Lands]], the Semou and Jayai constellations of Devoid, the Hed and Huvilma constellations of Heimatar, and the Essin, Tiat, Eugidi, Angils and Aldodan constellations of Metropolis.
