− '''Executive Order 156''' was [[Richard Cameron]]'s first official act as [[First Lord of the Star League|First Lord]] of the [[Star League]], issued a week after he turned eighteen on 6 February [[2762]]. It commanded the disbandment of all [[Great House]] armies and private military forces, and outlawed any weapon larger than a laser rifle or more destructive than a grenade. It was first reviewed by [[Aleksandr Kerensky]], the [[Commanding General of the Star League Defense Force|Commanding General]] of the [[Star League Defense Force]] and former Regent, who admired the sentiment but said it would be impossible to enforce. Despite Kerensky's misgivings, Richard released the order on the advice of his close friend and adviser, [[Stefan Amaris]]. The House Lords were outraged by this attempt to ban their own military forces, and claimed the Order was illegal. During an emergency [[Star League#High Council|High Council]] meeting, at which Amaris and Kerensky were also present, General Kerensky defused the situation by agreeing with the High Lords that the order violated the oaths he took to defend the Star League and the uniqueness of each member state. Richard Cameron meekly signed a counterorder repealing Executive Order 156. The humiliation he felt from Kerensky's public disapproval of his efforts at peace would create a rift in Richard's relationship with the general and drive the young leader further under the influence of Amaris.<ref name="TheStarLeague">''The Star League'', p. 76</ref> + '''Executive Order 156''' was [[Richard Cameron]]'s first official act as [[First Lord]] of the [[Star League]], issued a week after he turned 18 on February 6, [[2762]].
