In [[2795]], following the appointment of [[Sandol Quinn]] as regent to [[Ilsa Liao]], the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] launched an invasion of the [[Federated Suns]] intended to capture the politically significant [[Chesterton]] system. Planned by Quinn, the operation was intended to take advantage of the AFFS' continuing focus on trying to resist the massive [[Draconis Combine]] invasion, which stood poised to capture [[New Avalon]] itself. Quinn's plan involved encircling Chesterton by taking the systems around it, using mercenary units for the initial invasions—predominantly or exclusively former [[Star League Defense Force]] commands that had been recruited by the Confederation—and following up with CCAF line regiments to reinforce the assault and then secure the captured worlds. Whilst launching one or two planetary invasions aimed at systems around Chesterton, Quinn also had the CCAF copy tactics used by the Combine so effectively, leapfrogging over border systems to capture a number of systems further inside the Federated Suns to add pressure to the AFFS. Quinn's strategy worked well for several years; by [[2797]], the CCAF had occupied Victoria, as well the [[Branzoll]], [[Carmacks]], [[Ogilvie]], [[Salem]], and [[Sekulmun]], creating Capellan "islands" within the borders of the Federated Suns that forced the AFFS to spread its already-stretched border forces even more thinly at a critical time.<ref name="FSWp81"/>

Quinn never managed to secure Chesterton, however, and with the CCAF clashing with the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] on a number of former [[Terran Hegemony]] worlds, Quinn withdrew his forces from Victoria and other isolated worlds nearby in late [[2800]] or early [[2801]].<ref name=FSWp82/>
