Forceful Crusade

The Forceful Crusade, sometimes known as the Human Reclamation, was a 10-year conflict between the United Human Government and the newly formed Minecraftian Confederacy.
== History ==
In 8,439 AS, most of the UHG's extrasolar colonies violently broke away, including the Hexis system. The inhabitants of the system banded together to form the oppressive Confederacy, and they would spend the next 2 centuries building an empire within their own system. 
The Great Breakaway had left the UHG too weak to strike back. They had to let much of the Sol system's population rise until they could muster an army.
After more than 2 centuries of repopulating, the Citizens Council brought together over 10 million military personnel, including all 20 Space Marine chapters, and sent them to the surrounding systems. The Confederacy was also powerful and populous enough to send their armies to distant human-controlled systems. 
Many of the independent colonists were forced to submit to the UHG or Confederacy under pain of death. Some colonies had completely refused to comply, and were instead obliterated completely. Very few of these syndicates had the manpower or firepower to defend themselves, and those that could ultimately failed. 
Some of the renegade colonies had given up their advanced technology, wishing to return to a much simpler time. Many of them were forcefully annexed by the Confederacy, and were unfairly punished for their defiance. This is one of the possible reasons that some Confederate outer colonies lacked much needed tech, save for the wealthy. 
Some human factions were able to put up a fight against the UHG and Confederacy, at least for a time. 
The wealthy Econian Conglomerate had spread across 3 star systems, and traded regularly with various alien species. The UHG decided to take their vast wealth to their advantage, and formed a treaty with the Conglomerate. Surprisingly, the Conglomerate willingly signed the treaty, believing that their economic influence could easily spread across the galaxy. 
The populous Revian Empire was the only renegade faction to willingly join the Confederacy.
