Basic Introduction to the Inner Sphere

Clans

They are descendants of the Exdous of General Alsexander Kerensky. General Kerensky was the last person to hold the houses' lords ambitions in check. However as not to purge the Inner Sphere into another war, he chose unwisely to depart from the inner sphere. Thus his exdous departed the Inner sphere and arrived at the clan homeworlds millions of light years apart.

However with his death, his followers broke up into warfare. This allowed Nicholas Kerensky, son of Alsexander, to forge the clans into a caste system on his victory over the rebels. Time was to pass for the clans before the unexpected arrival of a comstar jumpship; which was to spark the clan invasion. With their advanced technology and different equipment, they were intially thought to be aliens. World after world fell to the onslaught of the clan juggernut which appeared to be unstoppable in their quest to reach Terra first. However Comstar came out of the shadows and fought out a truce at Turykid. During the truce, clans fought among themselves and a clan was casted down by the co-operation of all the houses. However the truce was over now, the clans are free to savage the inner sphere again but only this time they have the Word of Blake to contend with

The three main clans in the Inner Sphere are Clan Jade Falcon, Clan Wolf and Clan Ghost Bear. Clan Wolf in Exile (Lyran alliance) and Nova Cats (Draconis Combine) are break away from the Clans themselves. Clan Diamond Shake are the merchant princes of the clan while Clan Snow Raven are the king and queen of the space.
