One of the worlds due to be ceded to the Federated Suns was Bastrop, which at the time was a world on the border between the Outworlds Alliance and the Federated Suns. The Star League invaded the Alliance in [[2581]], with the invasion force - named the Outworlds Alliance Task Force - consisting of two corps of [[Star League Defense Force]] troops supported by forces from the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]], all under the command of [[General]] [[Amos Forlough]]. By [[2582]], Forlough's plan for a quick resolution to the war had been frustrated several times by Alliance forces, including the Pitcairn Legion, and the [[SLDF]] and Combine troops had begun an escalating series of war crimes against the civilian population of worlds occupied or contested by the task force. In addition to this, Forlough's plan to conquer the Alliance had changed, and appeared to be reducing the shared border between the Federated Suns and the Alliance.<ref name="H:RWp121"/>

Alexander Davion responded by mobilizing [[AFFS]] forces in the [[Draconis March]] and dispatching his youngest son, [[Lawrence Davion]], to meet with Ambassador Considine of the Outworlds Alliance on [[Hazelhurst]]. Lawrence Davion had already spent months or years negotiating between the states in the lead-up to the Tancredi Accord, and the two negotiators came to an agreement allowing AFFS forces to garrison a number of Alliance worlds just a single day before forces from the Star League reached the first of these worlds. AFFS troops took up positions occupying Bastrop along with [[Diboll]], [[Hazelhurst]], [[Inner End]] and [[Pajarito]] between March and May [[2582]], and the [[First Prince]] declared all five worlds to be Federated Suns protectorates. This outraged Forlough, who protested violently to [[Ian Cameron]] alongside other Star League generals, but the First Lord ruled the matter closed.<ref name="H:RWp121"/>
