Bolan was the first target of [[Ludwig Steiner]], the newly minted [[Margrave of Florida Theater]]. On 15 May 3151, General Steiner ordered the [[8th Lyran Regulars]] into League space. Despite the Marik forces initially believing the attack to be an objective raid, Steiner had tasked the Regulars with taking the world back. To help achieve that goal, the Regulars had come bearing gifts of potable water and purification systems to demonstrate their goodwill to the locals of the arid planet. Much of the local population sided with the Lyrans, aiding their operations or even actively interfering with League operations. After a month of cat-and-mouse fighting and with no reinforcements coming, the [[Eighth Free Worlds Guards]] departed Bolan on 16 June, returning it to Lyran control.<ref name=EA33>''Empire Alone'', p. 33-34 - "A Goodwill Gesture"</ref> The locals embraced the Commonwealth troops with open arms, having found League rule to be less keen to invest in their world than the Commonwealth had been.<ref name=EA104/> The following year, Bolan reclaimed its status as a provincial capital world when the provincial seat was moved from [[York (LC)|York]] to Bolan.<ref name=EAmap/>
