==Overview==
The Crusade intends to rapidly conquer the Jericho Reach to use it as a staging area for other Crusades to capture the [[Eastern Fringe]] and potentially begin an offensive against the [[Tau Empire]]. The cataylst for the Crusade was the discovery of an active [[Warp]] gate in [[Segmentum Obscurus]] which had a quick and easy path to the Jericho Reach. When word of this new discovery reached the [[High Lords of Terra]], a Crusade was approved to take advantage of this Warp route. The Crusades original commander was Lord General Militant [[Tiber Achilus]] (to which the Crusade was named after), but after a [[Gellar Field]] failure on his [[Grand Cruiser]] resulted in the ship being lost to the Warp, Lord General Militant [[Tetrarchus]] assumed command.{{Fn|1}}
The Crusade is taking place over three salients: designated Canis, Acheros, and Orpheus. The general Imperial strategy is to Canis Slient drive towards the core of Jericho Reach and crush native resistance while Acheros and Orpheus Salients move swiftly through uninhabited rim worlds, encircling the core and disrupting Tau activities in the area. Early on, the Crusade enjoyed rapid success, taking several worlds from heretic and rebel forces.{{Fn|1}}
