It is possible that [[Reynard Davion]] saw the Acala Pact as a possible means for incorporating the [[Capellan Commonality]] into the [[Federated Suns]] by diplomatic means; the Acala Pact established not just a mutual nonaggression treaty intended to promote trade and peace but also a forum for settling future border disputes. However, the Capellan Commonality was evidently motivated to sign the Pact simply to prevent losing any of their worlds to the probes the [[Federated Peacekeeping Forces]] was making into the [[Capellan Zone]].<ref name="HD:TFSp26"/>

In [[2357]], [[Reynard Davion]] renounced the Acala Pact with the [[Tikonov Grand Union]] (but not the [[Capellan Hegemony]]) and demanded the immediate transfer of the former [[Chesterton Trade Federation]] worlds of [[Bell]] and [[Highspire]] from the [[Sarna Supremacy]] and [[Chesterton]] from the Tikonov Grand Union,<ref name="HD:TFSp26"/><ref name="HL(TCC)p24">''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 24</ref> and according to Capellan sources, using the threat of atomic weapons to enforce his claims to these worlds.<ref name="HL(TCC)p24"/> House Davion forces occupied [[Bell]] in September [[2357]], an action which ultimately led to the end of the Acala Pact.<ref name="HL(TCC)p24"/><ref name="HD:TFSp26"/>
