As part of [[Operation SILVER SHIELD]], Blake's plan to protect and preserve the newly rebuilt [[HPG]] communication network, Blake required the promises from each of Council Lords that in time of war that the facilities and personnel of ComStar would be neutral and above attack as well as their acceptance of the [[C-bill|ComStar Letter of Credit]] to help fund and maintain the organization. Showing a high degree of diplomatic tact as well as a willingness to bend the truth to serve his case, Blake made a historic tour of the [[Inner Sphere]] in [[2786]] and was able to secure the signatures of each House Lord and in turn convinced the [[First Circuit]] to proceed with Silver Shield's third phase.
