'''Hopeless Battle Syndrome''' was a mental and behavioral disorder, associated with the reign of [[Chancellor]] [[Romano Liao]] in the [[Capellan Confederation]], which caused soldiers and others to prefer suicidal last stands rather than facing the risk of extreme punishment for failure which Romano Liao commonly imposed. ==History== While Hopeless Battle Syndrome was mostly known to have impacted the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] under Romano Liao, it continued during the rule of her successor Chancellor [[Sun-Tzu Liao]], despite the disdain he held for the policies which had made it common, such as court martials and executions for defeat or insufficiently decisive victories.
