The Galactic Republic Crusades

== Background ==
Initiated in Summer 2017 in conjunction with the USAF Crusades, The Galactic Republic Crusades were led against their primary patrol base at Alderaan. 
TGR members were known to be cannon fodder backed by more experienced troops with powerful gamepass weapons. Several early USCM incursions would reveal their ineptitude and weakness, encouraging more follow-on raids. This eventually snowballed into a full blown crusade, with COL WolfhoundWarmaster announcing the event in both USCM and IoM. A joint USCM-IoM force would go on to lay waste to TGR forces over the course of a month.
== Location and Battles ==
Alderaan was a relatively small map inundated with pine trees and overlooked by craggy rock hills. Large swaths of open sight lines allowed Marine marksmen to make short work of inattentive cannon fodder from a distance. A terminal in the center of the map was the primary focus, but it was often bypassed to allow Marine forces to push all the way to their spawn and mercilessly spawn kill the enemy.
Several small cliffs and outposts dotted the hills overlooking their spawn, allowing Marines to take hold of significant vantage points and cut down TGR forces in waves. 
Many of these raids would go on to follow the same format of Marines dropping in, instantly pushing the front line to their spawn, and spawn trapping the enemy for nearly a month. The operation was declared over after a massive joint operation between the United World Federation, USCM, and IoM against the most well-trained and well-prepared TGR team still resulted in an overwhelming defeat for TGR.
