Line 22: There is a disputed alternate claim regarding the genesis of the Board. According to a [[3053]] publication, one [[Tai-shu|Warlord]] Scoble of the [[Draconis Combine]] had complained about the conduct of mercenaries under his command on [[Imbrial III]] around 2789, during the opening years of the [[First Succession War]].

According to Scoble, a week after the Coordinator's transmission, Jerome Blake had announced the 'neutral' mercenary policing agency, cheating Kurita out of any credit for it.
