Due to his succeeding his father at a young age, [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] served as his regent until he came of age.  During this time, the high council diluted the First Lord's power.  When he came of age, his actions and assassination led to the collapse of the Star League.

One of his first pieces of legislation was [[Executive Order 156]]. The protests of the council, combined with a lifetime of manipulation by [[Stefan Amaris]], led to his reign becoming increasingly despotic in nature. In [[2763]], he passed the [[Taxation Edict of 2763|Taxation Edict]], which increased the already oppressive tax burden on the Periphery. He ordered General Kerensky to enforce this edict with his troops.<ref name=TPp53>''The Periphery'', p. 54</ref> By [[2765]], the [[New Vandenberg Uprising]] had begun in the [[Taurian Concordat]], and substantial numbers of SLDF troops were redeployed away from the core worlds to fight unrest. The [[Rim Worlds Republic]] under Amaris offered to redeploy troops to cover these gaps, and with Richard's approval they began to deploy to Terran worlds and take over many of the [[Castle Brian]] and [[Space Defense System]] installations.

By December [[2766]], the Rim Worlds forces in the Hegemony numbered over sixteen [[division]]s, twice as much as the remaining Terran forces, and Amaris struck. Visiting Richard for a regularly scheduled meeting, Amaris presented him a gift of a jewel-encrusted laser pistol. After showing off its beautiful decoration, Amaris used it to shoot Richard Cameron in the head. The [[Amaris Civil War]] had begun.
