On 7th of August [[3069]], Kirc made a League-wide address denouncing Captain-General Thomas Marik.  Since it had been revealed that the standing Captain-General was ''not'' a true Marik, Kirc saw this as an opportunity to finally grab power for himself. Reviewing "false" Thomas Marik efforts to try convince the League Parliament to make his post permanent. He makes this address to the League, that he enacts the provisions of the [[Act of Succession (FWL)|Act of Succession]] document, which begins process of succession. In accordance to the act it gives the right for the Marik family to choose successor.  By backing the "false" Thomas Marik, they forfeited the right to choose.  Since the next eligible candidate for the Captain-Generalcy was the false Marik's father-in-law Duke [[Christopher Halas (30th c.)|Christopher Halas]], he was suspect due to his association. Kirc claimed Halas was invalidated as well, and so he declared himself the only rightful ruler of the Free Worlds League.  Using the powers of the Act of Succession, all federal authority, is transferred to post of Prince of Regulus.  Thus he claimed to be Captain-General of the Free Worlds League. In his first act, in the address he cites Thomas Marik is order arrested should he try to give orders to federal authorities or any party agreeing take orders.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3070'', p. 72: "Defiance" - Kirc Cameron-Jones league address claiming Captain-Generalcy</ref>
