Beginning in mid-April 3015 Janos organized a six-month period of settling accounts with the rebels. Known as the "New Delos treason trials", these purges resulted in the executions of many of Anton's senior-most officers and supporters (including Janos' own son Gerald). Other rebels were sentenced to hard labor or exile on prison worlds.<ref name=HBWp32/> Beginning in mid-April 3015 Janos organized a six-month period of settling accounts with the rebels.

− The Free Worlds League Military emerged from the civil war badly damaged, not only in lost matériel and units but also in a visible divide, namely between those forces which had actively fought for the Captain-General and those who hailed from neutral provinces or even been protecting the Lyran border instead. Politically, the previous success Janos had achieved in unifying the League had been replaced with Parliamentary and provincial squabbling, while the general public markedly cooled towards Janos due to the harsh measures he had undertaken against both rebels and (to a lesser extent) neutrals. In addition, the League's previously strong economy now suffered from badly disrupted interstellar shipping. The only silver lining in all of this was the agreement of Wolf's Dragoons to switch employers and work for House Marik against the Lyran Commonwealth.<ref name=HBWp32/> + The Free Worlds League Military emerged from the civil war badly damaged, not only in lost materiel and units but also in a visible divide, namely between those forces which had actively fought for the Captain-General and those who hailed from neutral provinces or even been protecting the Lyran border instead.
