Many escaped prisoners have been found dead from starvation with full stomachs of local plants.[3]

Maximillian Liao was always worried that an uprising by the prisoners would take control of the moon. He ordered the creation of the Hong Lung Interdiction Station which was a space station designed to destroy any shuttles and DropShips that might carry escaping prisoners.[4]

Prior to the Fourth Succession War, the Capellan Confederation maintained Brazen Heart as a supposedly secret prison colony for political dissidents.[5] However, there was an active network of dissidents throughout the Confederation who were able to travel from and to Brazen Heart even then.[5] Hanya No Cha was born on Brazen Heart to a commoner's family. Following her secret marriage to Tormana Liao Chancellor Maximilian Liao, Tormana's father, annulled her marriage to his son by decree.[6] Fearing that her life might be in jeopardy, Tormana had her secretly smuggled back to Brazen Heart in or just prior to 3021.[5] The world remained one of the established homes of the couple after the Fourth Succession War.[7]

When the St. Ives Commonality seceded from the Confederation to become the independent St. Ives Compact after the war, the Brazen Heart prison was closed. It was reopened when the Compact rejoined the Confederation three decades later.[3]
