It´s the 31st century. Humans have settled in space, but life has not become peaceful. Thousands of planets of the Inner Sphere populated by humans were some centuries ago part of the powerful STAR LEAGUE. But with it´s decline in 2781 a new, dark age began, during which the five surviving Star Empires fought against each other in order to gain the leadership.
About 300 years the five succeeding emperors fought against each other in a neverending conflict, which became famous as the Succession Wars. Millions of people died, whole star systems were exchanged, but though there were fights and many killed MechWarriors nothing changed until the Inner Sphere met the "War Machinery" of the Clans in 3049.
With their gigantic war machines and their superior Infantry the bloodthirsty Clans came to succeed the legendary STAR LEGION - Army of Aleksandr Kerensky, by invading the Inner Sphere.
For three long years the Clans seemed invincible, until the ComGuards brought the Clan invasion to a stand at Tukayyid. The high paid success brought a period of peace for 15 years.
The agreement of peace signed after Tukayyid now has lasted for two years, but rage for revenge on both sides seems to bring peace to an end. Rivaling Clans fight against each other and the danger of a new Civil War is present. Again the Inner Sphere is near it´s own ruin.
And it could be the end.
