During the early [[thirty-second century]], the Concordat suffered a significant territorial losses. Partially, this was due to the expansionist policies of the resurgent [[Capellan Confederation]], which captured several Taurian worlds in an area centered around the planet [[Laconis]] that would become known as the "[[Laconis Front]]." The largest losses came, however, from the Concordat's own leadership. Protector [[James Urratia]] was so paranoid about a perceived threat from the [[Federated Suns]] that he stripped garrisons from many of the Concordat's spinward worlds to pursue raids against Davion and Liao holdings. When he reassigned [[MacLeod's Regiment]] away from the world of [[Charleston]] to bolster the forces in the [[Pleiades Cluster]] in [[3119]], he caused a crisis. This abandonment of a Taurian world triggered a domino effect, with first Charleston and eventually most of the spinward reaches declaring independence in protest of the Protector's defense policies. Urratia did not accept their secession, and in [[3127]] tried to use the threat of nuclear bombardment to bring the worlds back into the fold. This proved a step too far, and Marshal [[Kaff Doru]] led a coup that deposed and executed Urratia.<ref name=fm3145-185>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 185</ref>
