Increasingly concerned by the progress of the [[AFFS]] during the Fourth Succession War and approaching formation of the [[Federated Commonwealth]], ComStar decided to stall the Davion offensive against the [[Capellan Confederation]] in [[3029]]. Using a [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] unit masquerading as part of the [[AFFS]] troops scheduled to strike at [[Liao]] held world of [[Sarna]], ComStar publically broadcast the attack and destruction of HPG station and announced an interdiction against the [[Federated Suns]].

While the interdiction damaged the economy and hampered the Suns military operations, the use of the so-called "[[black box|fax machine]]s", of which ComStar was unaware, allowed Davion to still capture his most important objectives. The willingness of the Order to fake the attack, a fact Davion knew due to last minute troop changes, irrecoverably damaged the relationship between the nascent Federated Commonwealth and the increasingly militant ComStar.

As the Com Guards fought the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]] against the [[Clan]] invaders in May [[3052]], Primus [[Myndo Waterly]] put into motion her penultimate plan to "save" the Inner Sphere by placing it under total ComStar control. The opening shot of Scorpion was the complete interdiction of all HPG stations, which Waterly believed would allow ComStar forces to defeat any opposition.

While previous Interdictions had the full support of the Order, the extent of Scorpion caused a fragmentation among its members between those who saw the Order's role as the neutral protector of knowledge and those who saw the only way for the Order to protect humanity was to rule over them. Most of the Great Houses took advantage of this fragmentation to capture many of the HPG stations in their realms to try and maintain communications, while the shutdowns in the [[Clan Occupation Zones]] failed outright as the Clans eventually took control of each ComStar compounds. Scorpion was ultimately unsuccessful and the interdiction was quickly lifted.
