Simon Cameron became First Lord in [[2738]] following the disastrous reign of his father [[Jonathan Cameron|Jonathan]]. With the Star League plagued by internal strife as a result of his father's paranoia and expensive [[Space Defense System|SDS]] initiative, Simon set about repairing the rift between [[House Cameron]] and its subjects. Simon's experience in politics coupled with his fairness and blunt honesty helped win him the support of the general public, but also alienated the more self-serving House Lords.<ref>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 20</ref>

As for the [[Periphery]] [[Territorial States of the Star League|Territorial States]], early hopes that Simon would cancel the SDS project and address the problems caused by [[Council Directive 41]] were soon dashed. Instead, when Simon learned of the large amount of poorly regulated arms manufacturing throughout the Periphery that was disappearing into the hands of unknown buyers, he concluded that the Periphery states were clandestinely rearming in defiance of the [[Council Edict of 2650]]. In response to this supposed threat Simon redirected the funds from the SDS towards building fortresses on key Periphery worlds in all four states, resulting in more support for local anti-Star League resistance efforts.<ref>''Handbook: Major Periphery States'', p. 23-24</ref>
