In [[3057]] the Fourteenth answered the call from [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]] to return to the [[Lyran Alliance]], feeling this would leave them unprotected in the face of a [[Capellan Confederation|Capellan]] aggression some of the local populace attempted to stop the unit leaving. Firing warning shots over the crowd of protestors forced their dispersal but later drew criticism from [[Duchess]] [[Candace Liao]] resulting in the units commanding officer being relieved of duty.<ref name=FMLAp72/>
