Their lack of strong transports and their small size compared to other Armies were the main cause of this inaction. This, combined with the traditional Capellan disdain for the SLDF, led to the Capellan citizens holding the Sixth in contempt. This disdain, combined with constant border raids, pirate actions, and a poor supply situation had reduced the morale of the Sixth Army's component commands. Further exacerbating the problem was the lack of transport assets, which forced the Sixth Army to maintain a static defense. As a result, many worlds in their area of responsibility were protected by Capellan militia units.
