In [[2422]] Amanda arranged a settlement with Baxter that brought an end to the Rim War.  But Baxter then attempted to go further than just peace; he proposed a [[Thousand-World Coalition|"thousand world alliance"]] of the Confederation and Concordat as well as the smaller interstellar entities between them.  Advised by Admiral Sigur Fonn, Amanda rejected this blatantly anti-[[Marik]] offer, instead choosing a path of neutrality.  This neutrality did not stop her from granting sanctuary to dissident Capellan military forces/leaders fleeing Baxter and his Confederacy.  Through these and even Marik defectors Amanda was able to secure [[BattleMech]] technology for her nation to build.<ref name="TP(SB)p20"/>

Because of the horrors the Rim War had inflicted on their people, neither Admiral Sigur Fonn nor his ward Amanda signed the [[Ares Conventions]] in [[2412]], making the Taurian Concordat the '''only''' major power of that era (and current era) to not do so.<ref name="TP(SB)p20"/>

There is no year listed when Amanda was '''officially''' proclaimed Protector but it would have most likely been on or shortly after her majority of eighteen years old ([[2415]]).
