==History==
 
==History==
Michael was trained as a MechWarrior and served as a Major in the AFFS but never showed any great flair as a soldier, a cause of irritation and sadness for his father. Upon taking the throne, he handed responsibility for military command to his uncle, [[Peter Davion (29th c.)|Peter Davion]] and spent much of the next decade trying to make peace with the Federated Suns neighbors, making increasingly extravagant offers. He also invested great effort in recovering lost technology and other artifacts of the Star League. Both of these goals were quite unpopular and there were three assassination attempts and at least one attempt to persuade his uncle to lead a coup.

One of his few forays into military command took place in 2861, while Peter Davion was incapacitated due to a DropShip crash, when Michael ordered the Davion Assault Guards to raid St Ives, then the capital of the inexperienced and cowardly Chancellor [[Dainmar Liao]]. This raid so terrified Dainmar that he sued for peace, recognizing all Federated Suns gains during the Succession Wars.
