Following [[Primus of ComStar|Primus of ComStar]] [[Conrad Toyama]]'s [[Purification]], many in the greater Inner Sphere were increasingly wary about the new ComStar Order, with public opinion ranging between it being a quasi-religious corporation at best, to a lunatic-filled cult at worst. Despite the horrors of the ongoing [[First Succession War]], because of these perceptions many were unwilling to make a lifelong commitment to the ComStar Order and applications to join the organization dropped to a virtual trickle. Even on [[Terra]], where ComStar had effectively controlled the system's government since [[2788]], the ranks diminished after Toyama's rise to power.<ref name=CS-21/>

[[Precentor]] [[Barnard]] and member of the [[First Circuit]] [[Judy Cheny]] came to realize that the mass media of the Inner Sphere and their demonization of the Order contributed to the decline. To combat this, In [[2825]] she proposed to the First Circuit that rather than suffering at the mercy of the media organizations operating in the Great Houses, ComStar should develop its own newsgathering and dissemination service to supplement its cornerstone Communications Branch, ensuring the Order could provide its own point of view and sway public opinion in its favor. Primus Toyama proved very receptive to Cheny's suggestion, backing the creation of the ComStar News Bureau in [[2826]] and naming her as its first head.<ref name=CS-21/><ref name=SSW-14/><ref name=MM-209/>
