The Seventh Wave capitalized on negotiations that had been conducted in secret between the Federated Suns and various planetary governments in the remnants of the [[Sarna Commonality]] who lacked defenses and were far more fearful of being annexed by the [[Free Worlds League]], a state hated for centuries of raids and invasions, than they were the Federated Suns. In the last week of November the AFFS occupied thirteen systems, including Old Kentucky. The AFFS encountered little resistance, and relatively few troops were needed to provide a garrison to maintain calm.<ref name="4SWv2p59">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 59: "Seventh Wave"</ref>
