==Rise to Power==
Nephew of [[Ingrid Liao]], Tormax inherited a host of problems when he came to power in [[2980]]. Noticing his traditional military forces were lagging behind in newly formed [[Warrior House]] regiments, especially after the resounding defeat on the world of [[Rio]] by [[House Davion|Davion]] forces, Tormax promptly reorganized the training and recruitment programs of the [[CCAF]].  At his urging, he also pushed his nation's surviving Aerospace industries to design and manufacture new fighters.

His traditional military forces were lagging behind in newly formed [[Warrior House]] regiments, began resent them.  The resounding defeat over [[Rio]] by Davion force caused Tormax to reorganize his Aerospace forces training and recruitment.  At his urging, pushed his nation's surviving industries to design new [[Aerospace Fighter|Aerospace Fighters designs]].
  
In [[2987]], Davion forces commenced a series of attacks against Liao's prefecture capital of [[Tikonov]]. These attacks pressured Tormax into using the last of his military reserves to fend off the incursion.  He also shrewdly dispatched [[Justinia's Cuirassiers]], [[Shepard's Mounted Fusiliers]], and [[Hampton's Hessens]] on a bold invasion of the Davion world of [[Lee]] in order to relieve pressure from the [[Chesterton Reserves]] which were desperately holding off Davion forces on Tikonov. The counterstrike against the reinforced Davion world relieved the beleaguered Liao forces and won the newly deployed [[Transgressor]] aerospace fighters some prestige.<ref>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 50: "Finally, A Turnaround".</ref>

==Fall from Power==
 
==Fall from Power==
Tormax Liao's grasp on power weakened in the spring of [[2990]]. Fanatical religious groups in the [[St. Ives]] prefecture aroused to cause additional problems politically for him. He also had unexpected weakening loyalty from his once fanatically loyal Warrior Houses regiments.  At the advice of his son, Tormax led the [[Capellan Hussars]] Brigade to Davion border to strength it and remove doubt of his abilities.
 
  
He succeeded militarily, but when he returned he found his son had taken power for himself and made himself Chancellor.<ref>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 51: "Maximilian"</ref>
