Details are scant, but allude to an incident in which Varnay used excessive force in order to fulfill the orders of Alliance Colonial Office Representative [[Heinicke]]. Though his actions were too severe, military courts acquitted Varnay of murder and docked his pay by 50%.<ref name=HD8/> ===Grain Rebellion=== {{main|Grain Rebellion}} In [[2237]], while the [[Outer Reaches Rebellion]] was fracturing the Terran Alliance, the logistics required to feed the massive populations of [[Terra]] broke down. As humanity's homeworld was no longer self-sufficient, the Alliance demanded its colonies increase their support (regardless of the tenability of the colony). New Avalon, then under Governor-General Varnay, was obligated to send massive amounts of foodstuffs, enough to make viability of the colony perilous. Unwilling to disobey orders, Varnay increased the quota and before long had a large shipment ready for export. This shipment would never reach Terra, and Varnay's collection would be his last act as Governor-General. Angry colonists stormed the spaceport and, despite heavy casualties, seized the shipments. Additionally, the colonists sabotaged the transport vessels, making it impossible to send further shipments to Earth.
