'''''Xin Sheng''''' or "New Birth" was the name given to Chancellor [[Sun-Tzu Liao]]'s efforts to restore the pride of the [[Capellan Confederation]]. The Confederation had lost significant territory in the [[Fourth Succession War]], and was almost a nonentity during the [[Clan Invasion]]. The ''Xin Sheng'' movement included reorganizing the [[CCAF]], including creating a new [[General]]-equivalent rank, ''Jiang-jun''. All ranks were given new names in Chinese. Mercenary units with long histories of service to the Confederation ([[McCarron's Armored Cavalry]], among others) were nationalized into the CCAF, often with citizenship and titles for the commanders and owners. The [[Victoria Commonality]] was created during the ''Xin Sheng'' movement.<ref>''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 85</ref> The Confederation's alliance with the [[Free Worlds League]] was discarded, as Sun-Tzu realized [[Thomas Halas|Thomas Marik]] would never actually permit the long-postponed wedding between Sun-Tzu and [[Isis Marik]] to occur. Instead, the Confederation entered into an alliance with the two strongest [[Periphery]] powers, the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] and the [[Taurian Concordat]]. This came to be known as the [[Trinity Alliance]]. The Alliance with the Canopians was sealed with the betrothal of [[Naomi Centrella]] to the Chancellor. In addition, as part of ''Xin Sheng'', the CCAF moved to reclaim worlds lost in old wars, most notably the worlds of the [[St. Ives Compact]] and the [[Tikonov]] region of the [[Chaos March]]. The reintegration of the Compact worlds into the Confederation was the culmination of the ''Xin Sheng'' movement.<ref>''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 81</ref> Beyond the military aspects, several reforms were instituted in the civilian aspects of the Confederation as well.
