The Conquering Crusades and the Subjugation of the Universe

Diplomatic action

The Conquering Crusades are what they sound like, a nearly 900 Standard Imperial year-long series of campaigns launched by the Shepherd King DAVID, King Among Kings, against the entire Midgard Realm with the intent to bring it all under the rule of his new Imperium of the First Men. This Crusade was justified by the divine words engraved into the very DNA of the First Men, the first words they heard when born, imparted onto them by the 1st Name of God.

Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the universe and subdue it. Rule over the stars in the cosmic sea, and over the myriad lifeforms that traverse the galaxies.

Summus Imperator David established the House of Kings, his formal Clan which ruled the growing Imperium but he was also known as the Allfather, a playful term in reference to the myriad of children he sired, both legitimately and illegitimately, during the Crusades. Summus Imperator David honored all the illegitimate children he sired with the surname "David", which is why, to this day, the surname David is perhaps one of the most common and widely used throughout the cosmos, regardless of species, which speaks to the scale and violence of the Crusades.   They lasted 989 Years and ended on the planet Kachautania when the Dragon Lord, King Solomon Pendragon, slew Summus Imperator David and later signed a treaty with his successor, Summus Imperator Jedidiah "Solomon" David, called the Tractatus Salomonis (Treaty of the Solomons). The Tractatus Salomonis would not allow the Imperium, as it was at the time, to control more than 65% of the cosmos, which it did at the time.
