The [[Fourth Succession War]] resulted in the transfer of many worlds formerly belonging to the Capellan Confederation and Free Worlds League to the control of the nascent [[Federated Commonwealth]]. These worlds were organized within the [[Federated Commonwealth]] as the [[Sarna March]].
+
After the fall of the [[Star League]], the planets of the [[Terran Hegemony]] were divided up between the [[Great Houses]] with the exception of [[Terra]], which became a neutral ground controlled by [[ComStar]]. The worlds of what would someday become the '''Chaos March''' were mostly claimed by the [[Capellan Confederation]], but a few fell under the sway of the [[Free Worlds League]]. Over the years, however, four violent wars wracked the [[Inner Sphere]], which became known as the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]]. The [[Fourth Succession War]] resulted in the transfer of many worlds formerly belonging to the Capellan Confederation and Free Worlds League to the control of the nascent [[Federated Commonwealth]]. These worlds were organized within the [[Federated Commonwealth]] as the [[Sarna March]].
  
 
In [[3057]], Chancellor [[Sun-Tzu Liao]] and Captain-General [[Thomas Marik]] launched a strike at the [[Federated Commonwealth]] in retribution for [[Victor Steiner-Davion]]'s [[Operation GEMINI]]. Dubbed [[Operation GUERRERO]] it was accelerated with Thomas Marik's calculation that [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]] would secede the Lyran half of the [[Federated Commonwealth]] and negotiate a separate settlement with Marik that allowed him to achieve his objective. Katherine ordered home all traditional Lyran units to within the Lyran state's pre–Fourth War borders, leaving many worlds bereft of defenses. Because of the secession, the rump Commonwealth lacked the [[JumpShips]] necessary to reinforce the Sarna March. With the League's pullout, however, the Capellans lacked the military force to secure the worlds that the Commonwealth had all but abandoned.
