At the Whitting Conference of 3064, the [[Free Worlds League]] nominated [[Word of Blake]] for membership in the Star League. A radical sect of Blakists known as the Sixth of June believed that this was their path to power. Their hopes were dashed, however, when the 3067 conference resulted in the collapse of the Star League as the [[Capellan Confederation]], [[Lyran Alliance]], and [[Federated Suns]] all removed their support. The angry Blakists' attempt to force the recalcitrant nations back into the League resulted in a war that engulfed every major faction. The Jihad represented a return to total war in a way that even the FedCom Civil War did not match as the Word used orbital bombardments and nuclear and biological weapons, and wantonly attacked civilian targets.
