One of the Tetrarchs, [[Anton Carinus]], had never remarried after the death of his first wife and child, and as a result he was unable to name an immediate family member to succeed him. Eventually, Carinus decided to adopt [[General]] [[Diana Chinn]] of the [[Third Tikonov Border Guards]], a mediocre field commander but an outspoken beauty with strong anti-Davion sentiments and more than a decade of experience at fighting bandits along the Marlette border. Carinus then attempted to solve two problems at once; he adopted Chinn and ordered her to assemble her veteran border troops for a campaign against the Marlette Association.<ref name="HL(TCC)p21"/> One of the Tetrarchs, [[Anton Carinus]], had never remarried after the death of his first wife and child, and as a result he was unable to name an immediate family member to succeed him.

The Grand Union counterinvasion of Marlette space began in October [[2308]]; Chinn's efforts began with the world of Almach, as the Almach region of space had long been in contention between the two states. The Tikonov force had superior numbers and surprise on their side and quickly occupied Almach, followed by Mesartim late in 2308 and [[Halloran V]] in 2309. The Marlette forces were disorganized due to internal conflicts among the senior staff, and the swift advance made by Chinn and her Voltigeur regiments exacerbated the disconnect with the Marlette units. Chinn's expeditionary force was reinforced to a total strength of six regiments and launched quickly for Mira to capitalize on the dysfunctional Marlette command chain.
