From what we have seen, we could take some of the purifying wisps with us and keep them isolated on reporpused superheavies or ships.
We have to get permission to take off Avernus life forms. So maybe.
Given that all Valinor has left is the people that didn't go on the crusade, so mostly billions of chaff, I actually expect casualties conquering them to be fairly light. It's the corruption from landing on chaos held worlds that I expect to cause most of our casualties. It's why I thought we should only try to colonize lightly corrupted worlds and just leave the rest empty.
I'm expecting decades before new colonies there even start seeing native population growth because of constant losses to chaos corruption.

It is a crusade. Any Imperial military campaign that's supposed to conquer several worlds in a single offensive is by definition a crusade. Since this is supposed to be a single offensive with the objective of conquering several worlds, it's a crusade.
In fact, by definition, the military campaign launched by Valinor and their friends wasn't a crusade. Their only objective was killing a single person. Their objective was not to conquer any multitude of wars, so by definition it was not a crusade.
EDIT: Here's my source.

So, Chaos Avernus?

A Holy Crusade then, declared as such by a Living Saint.

Not even close, maybe Chaos Cataca, but not Chaos Avernus.

A campaign launched on order of the Adeptus Ministorum is called a War of Faith, and I don't think the modern Ecclesiarchy has the authority to declare one. Even if it did, it's optional for non-Ministorum forces to join the war.

I just figured calling it a Holy War would boost the troops' resistance to Chaos.

I don't think that's how resisting heresy works.

What if we rile the troops up with the promise that we are going to slaughter the followers of the false emperor. That we shall smash and shatter their armies like we do to their temples, which would be filled with the wailing of the so-called faithful. That we shall purge them and their weakness and cast down their heroes like so many toppled monuments to a false god who offers them no true salvation? We shall purge them from their worlds and scrub away all of their "holy" icons like we cleanse our own cities of filth and Life Eater Fungus. They shall fall before our Crusade like the crops fall before the Harvesters of the Alfar.
You know, when you think about it, this scene has probably played out the same way in the Imperium. Some Imperial force would pester something much more powerful than it, they would fuck off and get a Crusade going, and then that fails horribly and then the more powerful thing takes over several Imperial worlds.

The Valinor Crusade?
Not really, Avernus has tons of DAOT ruins to justify settlement there, the native wildlife provides useful research opportunities and provides a significant defense against many types of invasions or tactics invaders can use which give us a big advantage defending against foreign invaders.
On Chaos worlds the corruption will help out most invaders, and there won't be any useful research opportunities at all.

Our food income has been dropping for the last few turns.
With how we've been increasing the education level of the average citizen, and with how we've been gradually reforming/weakening the mechanicus, could we have projects to make Advanced Material factories run by normal civilians rather than big temples?
Another option might be producing facilities that produce and maintain our military equipment more efficiently to get our maintenance costs down.
Maybe expansion of our farming facilities since we're starting to hit the limits there.
Or a related idea, luxury farms to produce thrones as output instead of food by producing high value goods for sale. Whether that be mundane things like chocolate and wine, or exotic like Thunderbeast steaks.
Well let's see
1 Admin assistant to Dragon's nest (might be a diplomatic action) so they can get there Admin score up from the abysmal score it currently is.
2 form a city development and defense department (automatically increase the size of a limited number of cities at one time). With us taking special actions to develop more cities.
3 allow guilds and private concerns to develop areas for resources.
4 more train lines between cities.

Kasrs. Building new cities is an Administratum project, so the construction of kasrs should be under their purview as well. A significant problem we've had is that even though our train tunnels are underground and protected by bombardment, it's a trivial task for enemy ground forces to render them null and void. Putting kasrs in the spaces between our cities and connecting them with rails will allow us to transport troops between cities even if the enemy cuts off the main lines. They'll also be strongpoints from which we can attack enemies, obstacles enemies will have to overcome, and platforms for more artillery, AA, and anti-orbital weapons.

We got the Data Jewel STC from Deiphobe. We could make a super secure archive of all our important things!
