A lemming run is a large attack on a planet (often suicidal), where the attackers do not pull no matter what. The term comes from the fact that this "tactic" was traditionally employed by hirr, an alliance which used lemmings as their mascot.
One well-known and large-scale lemming run is Revolt, purportedly organised by Forest in round 5. In this mass attack on Fury/Legion, many thousands of ships were sent at planets known to be members of said alliances. The same thing was attempted in round 12, but failed most excessively.
