Line 1: − '''Operation ROSEBUD''' was a [[ComStar]] plan enacted by [[Primus of ComStar|Primus]] [[Myndo Waterly]] to sponsor the creation of the [[Free Rasalhague Republic]], an independent state composed of the [[Draconis Combine]]'s [[Rasalhague Military District]], as well as worlds taken from the Combine by the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] during the [[Fourth Succession War]]. + '''Operation ROSEBUD''' was a [[ComStar]] plan enacted by [[Primus (ComStar)|Primus]] [[Myndo Waterly]] to sponsor the creation of the [[Free Rasalhague Republic]], an independent state composed of the [[Draconis Combine]]'s [[Rasalhague Military District]], as well as worlds taken from the Combine by the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] during the [[Fourth Succession War]]. ==History== ==History== ===The Plan=== ===The Plan=== − Conceived in the aftermath of the Fourth Succession War, Waterly had several reasons for pursuing this plan. Unlike Primus [[Julian Tiepolo]], Waterly believed that the more splintered the [[Inner Sphere]] became, the easier it would become for ComStar to push its agenda. Waterly was bitterly opposed to the [[Federated Commonwealth]] alliance, which she saw as a threat to a renewed [[Star League]] formed under ComStar. She recognized that by creating a buffer state between the Lyran half of the Commonwealth and much of the Combine, it would free the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] to defend a significantly smaller border in any future war against [[First Prince|Prince]] [[Hanse Davion]]. Waterly even believed that the creation of a new state might lead to the secession of the [[Federation of Skye|Isle of Skye]], an event that would effectively sever the two halves of the new superstate.<ref name=COM59>''ComStar'', p. 59</ref> + Conceived in the aftermath of the Fourth Succession War, Waterly had several reasons for pursuing this plan.
