During the Fourth Succession War, [[Capellan Confederation]] warlord [[Shang Tsung]] had launched a counterattack against the Federated Suns'  [[Capellan March]] world of Cammal. Duke [[Manuel de Leon]] and his ducal guard, the Lionhearts, narrowly held the line together with the Youngblood Renegades mercenary unit (hired by Capellan March Duke [[Michael Hasek-Davion]]), with heavy losses. The Capellans, although ultimately repulsed, inflicted massive damage on Cammal and managed to destroy the duke's [[DropShip]], killing him and his family and ending the line of [[House de Leon]]. Afterwards, many felt that House Davion had been suspiciously slow in sending reinforcements to Cammal.

After the war, the law firm representing the late duke and his House (Cummings Law-and-Justice) prevented the duchy from falling back to House Davion and kept searching for a legitimate heir for decades. The power vacuum on Cammal was filled by a politically weak planetary government formed from the numerous different factions comprising the population. The Lionhearts became a mercenary unit. The Youngblood Renegades mercenaries received a continent on Cammal as fief for their service, becoming its de facto rulers and thus one of the ruling factions on the planet.

The enigmatic Winterland Enterprises megacorporation has since become the world's single largest employer. Researching into the corporation's background and dealings, the Youngblood Renegades find that Winterland Enterprises seems to possess far more money that it should, possibly from a group of nobles around the late duke Michael Hasek-Davion who might have been preparing a coup (putting a new spin on Hasek-Davion's purported hero's death on a "peace mission" to [[Sian]] in the war). Winterland Enterprises CEO Judy de Winter is the daughter of the [[Duke of Corella]] who was associated with Hasek-Davion and also died under mysterious circumstances. The Renegades come to suspect she might possess information to blackmail House Davion into leaving her corporation alone. The corporation is very powerful on Cammal and involved in a broad field of activities including [[lostech]] and weapon research and manufacture (with a great share of their weapons production unaccounted for); unbeknownst to outsiders, they possess extensive surveillance capabilities and even at least one "weather satellite" capable of orbital bombardment.
