Line 26: The plan for Case White had been on the drawing boards since the [[Word of Blake]] took Terra in [[3058]], but was put off by [[Precentor Martial of ComStar|Precentor Martial]] [[Anastasius Focht]] in favor of focusing on the [[Clan]] Threat. This decision was continued by [[Victor Steiner Davion]] upon his ascension to Precentor Martial, as he had to focus on the myriad issues of building up the new [[Star League Defense Force]], [[Operation BULLDOG]], the [[Great Refusal]], and later the [[FedCom Civil War]]. After [[Wolf's Dragoons]]' failed assault on Mars, and the subsequent razing of [[Outreach]], however, Victor no longer felt the threat posed by the Blakists could be ignored.
