Third Pius Dea Crusade

The Third Pius Dea Crusade was a religious crusade orchestrated by Contispex II, the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, and the Pius Dea religious cult against the Hutts. In 11,939 BBY, Contispex II ordered a Republic-sanctioned invasion of Hutt Space, playing off of Republic citizens' fear of the Hutts, and the forces of the Republic Military began to attack the southern ends of Hutt Space. Launching their forces from locations like Ord Thabl and Ord Gustald, the Republic assaulted Chalacta, Nimban and Cyborrea.
