The War of Cults is a war beginning in 2075 and still raging on between the Rupt and the Converters.

2075 - Cause
The Rupt were out travelling the galaxy when they were contacted by another empire; the Crix Empire. These religious creatures told the Rupt that their beliefs were contrary to that of theirs, and that the Rupt were defying Spode's 'boundaries'. The Rupt ignored this transmission and headed back home with their treasures.

The Bombing of Qmal
A while later, a recent Rupt colony named Qmal was attacked by a small Crix fleet. Fortunately for the Rupt, an Iglemanous fleet was close by and make quick work of the attackers. The Rupt later hosted a meeting with the Igle and Zuynix regarding how to deal with this situation. After a heated debate, the alliance agreed to declare war on the Crix Empire, and the transmission was sent, beginning the war.

2078 - Attack on Zimx
The war was still in it's baby years, but after a small amount of preparation the Rupt and their allies, now known as the Holy Defenders, launched an attack. A fleet of around 600 ships, a mix of Rupt, Zuynix and Iglemanous military technology, were sent into Crix territory, commanded by Governor Tur'mx. They bombed and destroyed many colonies, managing to exterminate the Crix from around 215 star systems before they headed to one of the main planets, Zimx. Zimx was a common agricultural ground for the Crix, harvesting many crops as the terrain and climate were great.

The fleet approached the planet, and were greeted by around 50 Crix carrier spaceships which they quickly destroyed, only losing 3 ships and destroying over 5 million Sporebucks in food. Once closer to the surface, the fleet split up into two groups. The Zuynix went off on their own; using disruption technology and powerful weaponry to hinder backup heading to Zimx. The Rupt and Igle stayed together with Governor Tur'mx, and headed towards the planet's main city containing the central command. Many spaceships were destroyed on both sides, but the Rupt and Igle remained victorious with around 30 ships remaining. Governor Tur'mx was beamed down into the main governing building, where a fierce melee fight with Sir Yuxvix was initiated.

Governor Tur'mx served as a tricky foe for the Crix; he was quick to move with his MPDs and made harder to damage due to his Proto Energy Shields. Combined with his golden plating this made him nearly invincible. Unfortunately, the Crix also had powerful technology, able to quickly fly about using their jetpacks, which oversped the Igle's slow flight. They also harnessed powerful Curtain Blades similar to the Igle. After an intense melee fight ensued, Sir Yuxvix attempted to flee through the window, but Governor Tur'mx managed to grapple onto his jetpack, rendering escape useless. Tur'mx than delivered a finishing blow that sent Yuxvix hurling from above the 40-story-building to the hard ground, killing him. Knowing their work was done, the fleet began to destroy the cities with no resistance at all, and returned home victorious.
