During
the three successive Succession Wars that ground humanity down
and resulted in the net loss of many technologies, no
significant territory was won or lost by any single House,
leaving the borders relatively unchanged through two centuries
of conflict.
In 3028, however, the marriage
of First Prince Hanse Davion of the Federated Suns to
Archon-Designate Mellissa Steiner of the Lyran Commonwealth
unified the two largest states in the Inner Sphere. The
newborn Federated Commonwealth immediately launched the Fourth
Succession War, conquering more worlds in two years than in
all the wars in the previous two centuries. |
