** In 3151, a March Lord of the Federated Suns decided to launch a very poorly-planned and completely unauthorized attack against the neighboring Taurian Concordinate. Not only did this result in a crushing defeat to the invadors, the leader of it was taken prisoner. Julian Davion, who'd only recently become ruler of the Federated Suns and was still trying to deal with the invasion the realm had suffered from its other neighbors, sent a ship to "negotiate" the release of the captured lord. The negotiations were just a front to get the Taurians to reveal where they were keeping the prisoner, at which point a [=FedSuns=] special forces unit launched a jailbreak and whisked him off planet. Julian lamented doing this, as while it was politically untenable to leave the lord in Taurian hands or pay the ransom they'd demanded, he also knew that his actions would mean that it would never be possible for the Taurians to ever trust any diplomatic efforts from the Suns again.
