Capital: New Avalon
Founded: 2317 (Federated Suns)
Strongly influenced by Great Britain and
France. |
BACKGROUND
This Mechwarrior successor state was founded in
2317 by Lucien Davion, Prime Minister of New Avalon.
The Davion family ruled the Federated suns for 700
years. Though Davion forces control more territory
than any other House, Davion's great influence in
the Inner Sphere derives as much from an past as
from its extensive holdings. Founded in the wake
of popular resistance to the Terran Hegemony, Federated
Commonwealth society contains democratic elements,
but remains an aristocracy as most of the other
Houses do. The Federated Commonwealth is largely
a society of a few very wealthy, highly developed
worlds and a mass of more provincial ones.
Much of House Davion's growth over the past 200
years has taken place at the expense of Liao's Capellan
Confederation. An even more serious enemy to the
Federated Suns has been the Draconis Combine, ruled
by House Kurita, which nearly succeeded in conquering
the Davion realm during the First Succession War.
By forging an alliance with the Lyran Commonwealth
in 3022, Davion forced Kurita to spread its 'Mech
resources along two frontiers, leaving many worlds
thinly defended.
TERRITORY
The Federated Suns empire has been organized in
five Marches :
The Capellan March includes the star systems near
the Liao territory
The Draconis March, bordering Kurita space
The Crucis March contains the central worlds of
the Federation (capital New avalon)
The Terran Corridor
The Edgeward March
