====Star League Era====
By the height of the [[Star League]], Salem was the location of a significant percentage of the defense manufacturing that supplied the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]]. While the overall manufacturing base of the Federated Suns was highly dispersed and diversified, a core group of worlds—[[New Avalon]], [[Crofton]], [[Kathil]], [[Panpour]], Salem, and [[Talcott]]—supplied move than half of all the equipment used by the AFFS.<ref name="FR2765:FSp6">''Field Report 2765: AFFS'', p. 6: "Infrastructural Integrity"</ref>

====First Succession War====
 
In [[2795]], following the appointment of [[Sandol Quinn]] as regent to [[Ilsa Liao]], the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] launched an invasion of the Federated Suns intended to capture the politically-significant [[Chesterton]] system. Planned by Quinn, the operation was intended to take advantage of the AFFS' continuing focus on trying to resist the massive [[Draconis Combine]] invasion of the Federated Suns, which stood poised to capture [[New Avalon]] itself. Quinn's plan involved encircling Chesterton by taking the systems around it, using mercenary units for the initial invasions - predominantly or exclusively former [[Star League Defense Force]] commands that had been recruited by the Confederation - and following up with CCAF line regiments to reinforce the assault and then secure the captured worlds. Whilst launching one or two planetary invasions aimed at systems around Chesterton, Quinn also had the CCAF copy tactics used by the Combine so effectively, leapfrogging over border systems to capture a number of systems further inside the Federated Suns to add pressure to the AFFS. Quinn's strategy worked well for several years; by [[2797]] the CCAF had occupied Salem, as well the [[Branzoll]], [[Carmacks]], [[Ogilvie]], [[Sekulmun]] and [[Victoria (FS)|Victoria]], creating Capellan "islands" within the borders of the Federated Suns that forced the AFFS to spread its already-stretched border forces even more thinly at a critical time.<ref name="FSWp81"/>

Quinn never managed to secure Chesterton, however; unwilling to launch a mass assault led by strategic weapons that would have had devastating effects on the planet and its population, Quinn attempted to negotiate Chesterton's surrender, but the dug-in AFFS forces were absolutely fanatical in their determination to resist, and Chesterton was self-sustaining, incapable of simply being blockaded into submission, even if the CCAF had sufficient WarShips available to blockade the system. With the CCAF clashing with the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] on a number of former [[Terran Hegemony]] worlds, Quinn withdrew his forces from Salem and a number of the other isolated worlds nearby in late [[2800]] or early [[2801]].<ref name=FSWp82/>
