Case Amber was a preemptive strike created by the Taurian Defense Force against a building Star League invasion force.
History
Starting two years before the Star Leagues Pollux Proclamation, the Star League tried various means to get the various Periphery states to join the League. The Star League first tried using bribes and then economic sanctions to force Periphery states like the Taurian Concordat to join. After the Pollux Proclamation and the First Lord announced that the independent states would be brought into the Star League "despite their reluctance, for the good of all," Taurian Concordat Protector Mitchell Calderon prepared his nation for the inevitable war.
Roughly one year after the Proclamation (2577), despite being clearly outmatched, the Taurian Defense Force launched Case Amber. Case Amber was to be a preemptive strike against the anticipated Star League invasion force.
However, the first action seen was against the Federated Suns instead of Star League forces. The Taurian forces faked retreat and lured the Federated Suns into an early strike which ended up cutting off their main fleet by a Taurian blockade. The resulting battles cost the Federated Suns over two dozen warships with minor losses (three ships) for the Concordat.
Case Amber continued to keep the Davion fleet busy throughout the Reunification War while the main Taurian Defense Forces made the Star League forces pay dearly for every major system captured.
Despite fierce opposition, the Taurians could not repel the invasion forces and on September 22, 2596 they surrendered to the Star League after almost 20 years of fighting.
