One of his few forays into military command took place in 2861, while Peter Davion was incapacitated due to a DropShip crash, when Michael ordered the Davion Assault Guards to raid St Ives, then the capital of the inexperienced and cowardly Chancellor [[Dainmar Liao]]. This raid so terrified Dainmar that he sued for peace, recognizing all Federated Suns gains during the Succession Wars.

His enthusiastic support backfired however, leading other leaders to suspect the movement was a Davion front. War broke out again within two years and the movement collapsed.
