Buena Archonette

In 3072 Peter Steiner-Davion established four Archonettes (based on Arcturus, Halfway, Inarcs, and Kaumberg) to coordinate the Alliance's response to the Word of Blake Jihad.[1] This was intended to allow more rapid response by the LAAF and allow for faster rebuilding. In actual fact, the Jihad-era Archonettes were as much a problem as a solution.

In 3075 Photon Brett-Marik coordinated an offensive with the Buena Archonette of the Lyran Alliance against the worlds of Poulsbo and Khon Kaen, both of which had been occupied by Circinus Federation and Word of Blake troops since mid-March.[2][3] Photon's proposed plan of attack was agreed with the Buena Archonette on the 16th of May,[4][5] and although the Tamarind and Lyran forces took heavy damage, the operation was a success. The Lyrans took Poulsbo while Tamarind claimed Khon Kaen.[6][7]

In 3081 Archon Adam Steiner disbanded the Arcturus and Buena Archonettes, though others, including Kaumberg and Inarcs, refused to relinquish their power. In April, the Kaumberg House of Lords publicly called for Sheridan to retire the Archonette, though he refused.[8] It took the use of military force against Inarcs before Sheridan returned his Archonette powers to the Archon.[9]
