[[AEAF]] units had used weapons of mass destruction regularly against [[Star League Defense Force]] units throughout the [[Hegemony Campaign]], predominantly to either damage the [[SLDF]] units targeted or to strike at civilian targets to prevent the SLDF from obtaining resources and supplies. In this case, Amaris' orders were different: he intended to create scorched wastelands that [[Commanding General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] would have no choice but to try and clear, whilst saddling the SLDF with huge numbers of sick and starving civilians. The AEAF units deployed to Castor and the other eleven worlds due to be abandoned by Amaris launched large-scale [[WMD]] attacks with one purpose: to ravage the worlds, preventing them from sustaining either their human populations or their various industries... to create wastelands.<ref name="H:LOT2p33">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 33: "Planets on Fire"</ref> |

Both the [[Capellan Confederation]] and Lyran Commonwealth had taken advantage of the League's woes to make military gains, with the [[LCAF]] expanding two major salients into the League with ruthless efficiency. However, in 2838 the [[FWLM]] forces fighting a tenacious defense in the League systems of the former Terran Hegemony found their [[LCAF]] opponents being hampered by expeditions from the [[Draconis Combine]] and Federated Suns, both looking to make gains of their own from the weakened League. [[Castor]] was one of the systems caught up in this - the LCAF had landed the [[Seventeenth Skye Rangers]] on the planet to destroy the defending FWLM garrison and occupy the world, only to have the [[Third Ceti Hussars]] land on the world later to try and claim it for the Federated Suns. Although the LCAF managed to rebuff the Ceti Hussars and finally claim Castor in spring 2839, by the time they had secured the world the interdiction had ended.<ref name="SSWp44">''Second Succession War'', p. 44: "The Four-Front War: Operation COOKIE JAR and the ComStar War (2837-2842)"</ref> |

In addition to the conquest of Callison, [[LCAF]] communications traffic and movements had spiked sharply, creating the impression of an impending offensive against the League. Faced with what he believed to be the plausible threat of a large-scale attack aimed at the region of the League near [[Terra]], Janos was more concerned with saving the six or seven assorted BattleMech regiments present within the region than he was with retaining the worlds, as he believed that the offensive would most likely be aimed at snipping off the corner of the League closest to Terra - and to both the Federated Suns and the Tikonov Free Republic. Castor was one of the systems abandoned by Janos, who would learn later that he had been deceived by an effective campaign of smoke and mirrors arranged by the Commonwealth General of the Armies, [[Edward Regis]], to deter the League from launching an invasion of the Commonwealth while the LCAF was heavily committed to its invasion of the [[Draconis Combine]].<ref name="4SWp87">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 87: "Conclusion"''</ref><ref name="HB:HMp42">''Handbook: House Marik'', p. 42: "Free Worlds League after Third Succession War [3025]"</ref><ref name="HB:HMp51">''Handbook: House Marik'', p. 51: "Free Worlds League after Fourth Succession War [3030]"</ref> |
