Main article: History of the Succession WarsĪfter the collapse of the Star League and the exodus of the SLDF, the five remaining Great Houses - after dividing the remaining Terran Hegemony among each other - began a series of brutal wars to claim the position of First Lord. Meanwhile, the first true interstellar states formed, fought and absorbed each other until the Inner Sphere consolidated into an armed standoff between the six Great Houses. Many colony worlds were no longer sustainable or subject to prolonged conflicts, their inhabitants again took to the stars, spreading even beyond the settlement boundary of the First Exodus. Historical Factions Early Spaceflight ĭue to the power vacuum of the Alliance's withdrawal, chaos and warfare broke out. As of 3085, this is the status of the remaining clans. From this aftermath of that war, seven clans were abjured, two were absorbed, three were destroyed, and three remain with one being created. After the Wars of Reaving, the division between the old Crusader-Warden views had died out and were replaced between Home and Invader Clans permanently. The late 3050's saw the Absorption of Clan Burrock, Abjuration of Clan Nova Cat and the Annihilation of Clan Smoke Jaguar. The exiles evolved into a warrior-based civilization that would sweep through the Inner Sphere like a whirlwind 250 years later. Traveling 2000 light years corewards, they colonized several worlds in the Kerensky Cluster. The Clans were originally the self-exiled remnants of the Star League Defense Force.
