Great Northern Crusade

The Seventh Pius Dea Crusade, more commonly known as the Great Northern Crusade, was a military campaign orchestrated by the Pius Dea religious cult. In 11,884 BBY, the Galactic Republic&mdash;under the control of the Pius Dea and led by the Contispex dynasty of Supreme Chancellors&mdash;launched a military campaign against the Zabrak, Ithorian, and Nautolan species.

The Crusade consisted of attacks against the homeworlds of all three species, all of which were located in the northern Outer Rim Territories. The Republic launched forces from Ord Varee and Ord Hallitron against the planet Glee Anselm, homeworld of the Nautolans, and used Ord Mantell as a staging point against Ithor. The third offensive launched from Ord Cantrell and Ord Meglumine against the Zabrak homeworld of Iridonia.
