When the Capellan Confederation formed, the planet was annexed. It was brought into the Confederation as a means to add its agricultural and mineral strengths to the newly formed nation. Over the course of time, the planet was seen as very valuable, and the [[CCAF]] placed a number of strategic supplies in a series of caches.<ref name=DARWp115/>

Shensi was one of a number of worlds to be hit by elements of an elite Free Worlds League Military strike force codenamed "Red Rover" between [[2901]] and [[2910]]. Red Rover contained units from both the [[Defenders of Andurien]] and the [[Orloff Grenadiers]] and launched a series of raids targeting key [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] supply depots, although the strong reserve forces established by [[Chancellor]] [[Otto Liao]] stopped the FWLM forces from remaining on any of the Capellan worlds.<ref name="HM(TFWL)p39">''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 39: "The Great Compromiser"</ref>

=====Fourth Succession War and FedCom=====
In [[3028]], the [[First Davion Guards]] [[RCT]] landed on Shensi as part of the first wave of the [[Fourth Succession War]]. Only defended by a poorly armed Home Guard Militia, the Militia commander employed desperate tactics to try and overturn the elite [[Federated Suns]] troops. The Guards overwhelmed the militia force, leaving a detachment of [[Combat Vehicle|Armor]] and infantry [[Battalion|battalions]] to garrison the planet.<ref>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 22: "Shensi"</ref>

====HPG Blackout and Independence====
In August [[3132]], Shensi and the rest of the Inner Sphere lost communication with rest of HPG grid. Plunged into a communication blackout, the planetary government stayed strong.  By [[3134]], House Liao made gambit to again retake worlds lost to Republic of the Sphere.  In November, Shensi was attacked by aerospace fighters, the raid damaging significant power grid locations and other important locations on planet.  At the time, the government was neutral, but was friendly to House Liao. However, the attack prompted the government to sign a treaty with the pro-Davion military splinter group, [[Swordsworn]] in mutual defense pact to defend again Liao Incursion.<ref>''Fortress of Lies'', pp. 169–173</ref>
