There were occasional incursions into its territory, including a brief conflict with the Taurian Concordat in 2813 that ended inconclusively, but for the most part the Magistracy stayed out of interstellar affairs. The resulting Succession Wars did not directly touch the Magistracy, but the realm felt the effects all the same: trade and tourism plummeted, to be replaced by refugees and pirates. This would continue until 2722, when additional taxation was levied on the Periphery states, with events coming to a head in 2765 when the Magistracy joined the other Periphery powers in the New Vandenberg Uprising, a rebellion which ultimately would lead to the Star League Civil War and the destruction of the League itself. After the war, the realm was made whole and allowed limited home rule as a Territorial State in the Star League, and for the next century enjoyed a golden age of wealth and prosperity. Like the rest of the Periphery powers, the Magistracy was invaded in 2577 during the Reunification War by the newly-created Star League while defeat was inevitable it was not as easy as the Star League hoped, with the war lasting twenty years and costing millions of lives. By 2570, the Magistracy had grown to 36 star systems thanks to successful negotiations with dissident planetary rulers in the Free Worlds and Confederation. Gathering like-minded people around her, she fled the Free Worlds and arrived in the Canopian star system in 2530, founding the Magistracy. During a general withdrawal from battle against the Capellan Confederation her unit was left behind, and while Captain Centrella managed to save her unit from destruction and return to the Free Worlds League, she had become disillusioned with the incompetency of the FWLM and the patriarchal systems which dominated the Inner Sphere. The Magistracy of Canopus was founded in 2530 by Kossandra Centrella, a former Captain in the Free Worlds League Military. Main article: History of the Magistracy of Canopus
