During this time the Dukes of Skye and Tamar were parties who had secretly kept Margaret in power, while they were the ones whom were truly the in charge of the Lyran Commonwealth. Only resistance to her officially being named Archon, was from Estates General.[6] The members Estates General and military departed to search for Steven's nephew, Robert.
In light of possibility of Robert's fighting her, she told Estate he has no claim due to him being illegitimate child.

In 2504, he had nearly cornered her on Skye, but house units of Tamar's managed buy enough time to allow her to escape with the Duke. Five months later, her allies nearly trapped Robert on Tamar's rock and barren Sahara continent. Margaret's forces had cornered the young Steiner on the peninsula. Just as things look good for her and her allies, a space cutter with envoy from Terran Hegemony arrived, requested a cease-fire in hostilities. Despite, near victory, she and her allied Duke reluctantly agree to meet with the envoy. The overnight negotiations for cease-fire failed, by morning, Margaret and her allies Dukes returned to their forces to prepare to bring in the final blow of the Civil War. However, forces belonging to Duke Nels Reynolds, arrived to turn the tide of battle to Robert's forces.[7]
