Katherine made a series of long-term moves to ensure that she would be more than her older brother's regent half of the time. She became an ally of [[Ryan Steiner]] and [[Galen Cox]]'s lover. She then contracted an assassin to kill her mother, which he did by means of a bomb in [[3055]]. Katherine subtly implicated Victor and ascribed to him the motivation that he wished to become Archon-Prince. This did not play well with the few who knew the truth about Melissa's offer to abdicate, such as [[Morgan Kell]], but much of the general public bought into it. She was also able to manipulate her brother [[Peter Steiner-Davion|Peter]] into a self-imposed exile on [[Zaniah]], though she did not know to where he had disappeared.

Katherine's next step came with the [[Skye Rebellion]] led by Ryan Steiner. Victor had Ryan assassinated, but the deeply unpopular move forced him to leave the Lyran half of the nation in the hands of Katherine, while he permanently moved his court to New Avalon. This move was especially ironic considering that Victor was raised on [[Tharkad]] and highlighted his lack of political acumen. Simultaneously, Katherine began to publicly play up her Lyran heritage and downplay her Davion half, often leaving the "Davion" off of her surname. She also took upon herself her maternal grandmother's name of "Katrina", hoping to remind people of the popular leader. This also had the effect of creating much confusion over which Katrina Steiner was being discussed. This became a quick way to tell supporters of her and her brother Victor apart. The former would call her Katrina, the latter would call her Katherine.
