Why is Caro, Lady Sula on Zanshaa?

}
At the start of The Accidental War, which takes place 6 years after the end of Conventions of War, we find Caro, Lady Sula settled back on Zanshaa. At the end of Conventions of War, she had been assigned as military governor to Earth, and seemed fairly pleased to get the position. She knew that Supreme Commander Tork would never give her a ship command again, and the governorship got her away from him and to a place (Earth) she'd always wanted to visit.
I don't recall Impersonations very well, but my recollection is that she was doing a competent (if not necessarily popular) job as military governor and she was personally doing reasonably well in the role. (Certainly by comparison to being stuck on Zanshaa under Tork.)
And yet we find out that she stayed as military governor for only 3 Shaa (2.5 Earth) years. This is not because of a normal rotation of the job, since we find Lady SCap (Michi) Chen still in command of the Fourth Fleet shipyards for 9 years already by the end of the The Accidental War.
Is there any reason for this? On Zanshaa, until the start of the events of the book, she has spent at least 2 years making futile monthly trips to the Commandery for a ship posting just to maybe annoy Tork. Why didn't she just stay on Earth? I haven't had a chance to read Investments or The Stickpin and don't completely recall Impersonations so I'm hoping that there's a decent justification I'm simply not aware of.
