Solar Crusade

Solar Crusades are, well, Crusades, launched by the Church against assorted infidels.
The first one was launched against the Nisperada Karthacks to try and drive them out of Iber. At the time they controlled most of the peninsula. The Crusade was largely unsuccessful, securing only a small portion of what is now Ezpanna. Later initiatives by Gallian warlords established Lagorian and Ezpanna in earnest. Lusitan later rebelled and established itself independently.
Another was launched against what is now Lendia, to protect the minor tribe that was the Lendians, who had converted to Genosism, from the Pagan raiders who made up most of the country. The effort was successful, and Lendia became a Genosian state.
A third was launched to seize what is now Jenoesa from Berkhuka. This was successful, but much of the gains were lost in the aftermath.
A fourth and fifth were launched to secure Jenoesa's position. These had limited success, but they did serve to buy Jenoesa time to entrench itself. It is now fairly secure.
A fifth was launched against Kurtiye to try and destroy its naval power and secure the Broken Sea for the Sunlit Peoples. Unfortunately, the Illegosi branch of the crusaders, mostly Pidavanese, made a stop at Helion, and after an ill-conceived attempt to sack the city, their fleet was immolated. The remaining crusaders were unable to combat the Kurts successfully.
A sixth crusade is being organized presently to try and defeat Kurtiye's naval power yet again, this time with the cooperation of the Helians, whose unspoken price was that the unfortunate death by strangulation of the Dux of Pidavance in his villa not be investigated too closely.
Depending on how you define them, there may already be a Sixth and a Seventh crusade in the form of the Kasonic Order's invasion of Pomerija and its current operations in Lendia and Ruscovy, but these were not official Pontifatrix-sanctioned crusades.
