{{Sectionstub}}
One of Marcus's first acts as Archon was to convince the [[Estates General]] to pass his father's Reclamation Act of [[2823]], which required that [[ComStar]]'s profits and property be taxed like any other business operating in the Lyran Commonwealth, his father's response to tensions between himself and [[Primus of ComStar|Primus]] [[Conrad Toyama]] after the leader of ComStar virtually blackmailed Richard into [[HPG]] transmission rate increases. <ref name=CS-20>''ComStar'', p. 20: "A New Order - The Word of Blake"</ref>

One of Marcus's first acts as Archon was to convince the [[Estates-General]] to pass his father's Reclamation Act of [[2823]], which required that [[ComStar]]'s profits and property be taxed like any other business operating in the Lyran Commonwealth, his father's response to tensions between himself and [[Primus (ComStar)|Primus]] [[Conrad Toyama]] after the leader of ComStar virtually blackmailed Richard into [[HPG]] transmission rate increases. <ref name=CS-20>''ComStar'', p. 20 "A New Order - The Word of Blake"</ref>
  
Shortly before the first tax bill was due, on 3 October [[2823]] Toyama and the First Circuit passed [[Exclusion of Tharkad|Exclusion of Tharkad Act]], ComStar's first [[Interdiction|Communications Interdiction]] against one of the Successor States. A copy of the act was transmitted to [[Tharkad]] and delivered to Marcus, followed by the shutdown and disabling of the capital's [[hyperpulse generator]].<ref name=CS-20/> Before Marcus could even respond, all ComStar personnel were safely evacuated off world. In one fell swoop Toyama had shown all the House Lords that he was not afraid to use ComStar's power. The Interdiction lasted almost a full year with little communication between the Commonwealth and ComStar before Marcus eventually bowed to public pressure in the fall of [[2824]] and asked the Estates General to rescind the Act. Within 72 hours of the announcement, the Tharkad HPG was again active and processing.<ref name=CS-21>''ComStar'', p. 21: "A New Order - The Word of Blake"</ref>
