Operation Janus

Operation Janus was a Mesan Alignment operation in the early 1920s PD, set to destabilize a number of star systems under the control of the Solarian League's Office of Frontier Security. 
It was originally conceived by Collin Detweiler and was headed by Isabel Bardasano as a means of discrediting the Star Empire of Manticore by having Alignment operatives pose as Manticoran nationals promising logistical and naval support to any rebellion willing to mount an insurrection against their local government. The intended result being a public relations coup against the reputation of the Star Empire with the destruction of the local resistance groups as collateral damage. (SI4)
