In [[2764]] the Eighth Army was assigned to the First District of the Free Worlds League region, with their headquarters on [[Talitha]]. Though traditionally the Eighth had a good working relationship with the [[Free Worlds League]], that changed in [[2734]] with the signature of the Treaty of Verona. This treaty ended the civil war between [[Bertram Marik]] and [[Parliament]]. The citizens of the Eighth's area of responsibility (and the ruling Marik family) were outraged that the SLDF forces didn't step in and stop the fighting. This noninterference, though required by Star League accords, was seen as many Free Worlders as the SLDF neglecting its sworn duties. As a result, many members of the Free Worlds nobility treated the Eighth with barely concealed contempt.<ref name=fmsldf105/>
