The campaign to liberate Lone Star was fought between [[2772]] and [[2774]], and was hugely damaging for the civilian population. During the campaign the agricultural zones all suffered damage from biological attacks, three-quarters of the animal herds were killed, and every Pond City had been hit by at least one attack using a weapon of mass destruction. During the battle between [[Amaris Empire Armed Forces]] troops and the SLDF for control of Vespa, the station-keeping equipment drives were destroyed, leaving the moon completely exposed to the gravitational forces of both the sun and Lone Star IV. The liberation was followed by fourteen years of decline; the people of Lone Star dragged out of office anyone who had served in government under the Amaris regime, but the SLDF couldn't provide personnel to replace them. This added to the damage the planetary government had taken during the campaign, and tens of millions of refugees were left with no support.<ref name="TtS:LSp4A"/>

With the planetary government largely absent, private companies and troops from the [[Great House]]s stepped in to reestablish security and some basic services, but a lack of government regulation led to rampant corruption and price gouging, and the reestablished Hegemony government was of little help, as the crumbling bureaucracy tried to coordinate the recovery of the ravaged Hegemony worlds, only to make matters worse by mistakenly depriving some planets of vital supplies in erroneous attempts to help others. When General [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] took the bulk of the SLDF on the [[Operation EXODUS|Exodus]], the population of Lone Star was shocked and appalled. When the nearby world of [[Inglesmond]] abandoned the wider Hegemony to concentrate on trying to meet the needs of worlds in the local region, the Loners followed Inglesmond's lead. The intention was to rebuild the Lone Star Province, while deterring the Houses from attempts to suborn Hegemony worlds, and when that was done, work to assist the wider remnants of the Hegemony.<ref name="TtS:LSp4A"/>
