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> === Peace Tour and Death === During the middle of the twenty-eighth century the [[Star's End]] system was a mining system contested by the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] and the [[Lyran Commonwealth]]. Star's End would become famous in [[2751]], although not for reasons the local population would probably have wanted; First Lord Simon Cameron was touring the various states of the League as a part of a five-year tour when he stopped to visit the Star's End system in February 2751. The First Lord made an unscheduled visit to the New Silesia asteroid, where he socialised with the local miners and toured the facility before asking if he might try piloting one of the large remote-controlled robots used for mining operations.<ref name="H:LoTV1p20">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 20, "Star's End"</ref> The result was a tragedy - the [[Mining Robot|robot]] Cameron attempted to control acted in an unexpected fashion, turning towards the control booth and charging; the robot shattered the booth, resulting in the deaths of the First Lord and nine other people as their bodies were sucked out into the vacuum.<ref name="H:LoTV1p20"/> The First Lord's death was declared to be an accident and would fuel many conspiracy theories, but internal communications from within the personal archives of Commanding General [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] released by [[Laurie Tseng]], [[Loremaster]] to [[Clan Ghost Bear]] in the 3080s, revealed an internal communication confirming that forensic evidence of sabotage had been turned up during the investigation into Cameron's death.
