Attempting to secure additional funding sources, in [[2825]] he issued an Executive Order authorizing the Captain-General to receive the proceeds of all fines collected from the prosecution of individuals engaged in illegal trade of "restricted items." By this point much of Charles rebuilding efforts would be focused on the reinvigoration of [[SAFE]], the League's intelligence organization. Increasingly stagnant since the [[Marik Civil War (28th c.)|Marik Civil War]] between [[Elise Marik|Elise]] and [[Oliver Marik]] and suffering heavy losses during the First Succession War, Charles determined that intelligence-gathering would play a major role in the next war and poured heavy funds into attempting to restore and expand SAFE's operations. Unfortunately despite three years of intensive efforts Charles was forced to admit defeat. With few surviving agents in the Lyran Commonwealth and [[Capellan Confederation]] and the growing tensions of the era making it increasingly hard to infiltrate the governments of either realm, Charles increasingly felt the lack in determining either realm's military intentions.

Desperate to overcome this shortcoming, in February [[2830]] Charles met privately with his [[Adept]] sister on [[Irian]] during one of the many public relations and recruitment trips she undertook in the Free Worlds League, asking her to use her ComStar connections to intercept military communications relating to [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces|LCAF]] and [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces|CCAF]] intentions against his realm. Incorrectly assuming her family ties were stronger than her loyalty to ComStar after she agreed to assist him, Charles would only realize years later that he unwittingly played into the hands of [[Primus of ComStar|Primus of ComStar]] [[Conrad Toyama]].
