From Gineipaedia, the Legend of Galactic Heroes wiki

Castrop's rebellion
In early 796 UC (487 IC / 3596 CE), the Imperial navy was dispatched to Castrop in order to regain funds which Maximilian von Castrop's father, Eugen von Castrop, had embezzled from the Empire during his tenure as secretary of the treasury. The younger Castrop had no intention of returning this money, and used part of it to purchase and implement an Artemis Necklace from Fezzan.
With this defence system orbiting the planet, Castrop seemed nearly impregnable. The Necklace successfully defeated a fleet of 3000 led by Admiral Schmude. However, Siegfried Kircheis, who had been sent to complete Schmude's mission, was successful in destroying the Necklace system with Seffle particles.
Maximilian von Castrop was subsequently killed by his subordinates, and the planet was surrendered to the Empire. (LOGH: 'The Castrop Rebellion')
