Writing an Inner Sphere dialog, from the year 3000 without the introduction of the Clans my notes on how a possible script change could have eventuated would include the following points ….

Start with the Marriage between Houses Davion and Steiner - Hanse Davion and Melissa Steiner’s wedding.

The Fourth Succession War eventuates.

the Duchy of Andurien-Magistracy of Canopus alliance / succession from the FWL occurs.

Marik’s War of Succession:- Thomas Marik and Janos Marik are assinated;
Duncan Marik declares himself Captain-General of the Free Worlds League, by virtue of his rank and experience.
However, Parliament names Corinne Marik (12yo.) Captain-General of the Free Worlds League, by right of succession and appoints a Regency Council.
War of succession eventuates. In the end Corinne Marik is able to succeed to the throne when the Duchy of Andurien forces engage and kill Duncan.
Captain-General Corinne Marik leaves Marik to visits Andurien. Later in the year the Free Worlds League acknowledges Andurien’s independence and signs a mutual defence / free trade pact with the Andurien-Canopus Alliance.

3039/40 War – FedCom Forces wage a repeated 4Succession War against the Capellans rather than the Kuritans. Ends with the destruction of the Capellan Confederation, the rise of the Federated Commonwealth , resulting in a new Capital World that is very close to that of Terra. Only Sun Tzu Liao and his sister Kali Liao escape with the aid of both their father and their uncle.

With the fall of the Capelan Confederation and the rise of both technology within the Inner Sphere and that of the Federated Commonwealth, including the establishment of a new Capital World so close to Terra, these factors become a shockwave to many true believers within ComStar. They see the rise in technology and the rise of the Federated Commonwealth, that as a result of this, a new Star League could within the next two generations eventuate.

Thus the Word of Blake an ultra-orthodox sect within ComStar hatches a plan to use their military and their technological might to put the Inner Sphere back on track as per the Writings of Blake. This would involve using their hidden army to murder the current leadership and their successors within all the Successor State houses. Without leadership and a viable successor all the houses would devolve into anarchy and civil war – thus putting humanity onto the correct path as per Blake’s writings.

ComStar at this time has 50 Regiments – these are divided into attack groups Steiner, Davion, Marik, Kurita – however they can only suborn a fraction of the total Com Guards units.

(For those of you who would like to put the Clan Omnis into the game – give each attack group one third Clan Omni and two thirds Star League ‘Mechs – and give them the WoB Jihad units names).

3049/3050 Word of Blake with the knowledge they have gained through ComStar know exactly where their targets are, thus they attack suddenly and with a high degree of ruthlessness….

Results, varying degrees of assassination success …

Free Worlds League – thrown into utter chaos with the death of their leaders the FWL fractures and disintegrates. At this stage only Isis Maik (an illegitimate child of Thomas) and Kristen Marik have survived.

Draconis Combine – Omika Kurita is the sole survivor and she is proclaimed the new Empress over the Combine.

Federated Commonwealth – only the children of Hanse Davion and Melissa Steiner have survived, (Victor, Katherine, Peter, Yvonne and Arthur) though scattered throughout the Federated Commonwealth.

All the militaries throughout the inner sphere attempt to hunt down this new treat, whilst at the same time attempting to hold their fragile states together.

ComStar, begins to purge the Word of Blake zealots from its ranks and dispatches its remaining loyal regiments to bring Word of Blake to heal.

As War and devastation rages throughout the Inner Sphere opportunists launch their secret Plans for Independence.

Rasalhage Declares independence from both the Draconis Combine and The Federated Commonwealth – A war of independence commences.

Isle of Skye Declares its Independence. Trapping Victor, Arthur and Yvonne on New Avalon and Katherine and Peter and on Tharkad. Thus divining the Federated Commonwealth and returning it to its original two realms – The Federated Suns and the Lyran Commonwealth.

St Ives – Sun Tzu and his supporters kills his new adoptive family - declaring himself Chancellor of the new reborn Capellan Confederation. However his sister Kali Liao and her loyal red lancers escape into the Federated Commonwealth. Sun Tzu therefore begins a campaign to increase the size of his fledging realm to its original majesty.

As time progresses the Word of Blake is finally hunted down and eliminated. With the knowledge of who these mystery forces are the Backlash upon Comstar is immense – as each realm takes over those HPGs on their own worlds from ComStar (effectively nationalising them). ComStar forges its own dominion at the heart of the Inner Sphere with Terra as its centre and also its Capital world. (Think of something like the old Terran Hegemony).

ComStar’s Com Guard forces would now begin a secret wars upon the WoB hidden worlds to scourge these Blakists from the Inner Sphere once and for all.

Victor aids Kali Liao to overthrow Sun Tzu and restore the St Ives Compact. Nt:- at this time these two characters have a brief love affair at the same time as the war rages around them.

Victor then proceeds to attempt to re-create the Federated Commonwealth by annexing enough worlds through the former Free Worlds League to Link up these two realms once more.

He is unable to use the Terran Corridor as the new ComStar Realm make this route impossible at this time.

Whilst this is occurring ….

Kristen Marik is attempting to reforge the Free Worlds League. Though she is being thwarted by the the Duchy of Andurien-Magistracy of Canopus alliance forming a new league annexing via war or political manoeuvring the periphery states of Taurian Concordat, Marian Hegemony and those former Free World League planets between the Rim Commonality and the Mosiro Archipelago.

Omika Kurita is attacked by the Black Dragon Society, who have issues with a woman on the throne.
(Nt:- She will eventually destroy all dissident units and use the ISF to hunt down the leaders of the Black Dragon Society – have them brought to the Imperial Palace where they will split their bellies and have their heads cut off. The remaining Black Dragons have an apotheosis regarding Omika due to her actions at this time – she is given the tile of Black Dragon Empress – and over time the Black Dragon Society will transform into her most vocal and ardent supporters – think of Roweena Kurita on steroids.)

Omika launces a campaign to retake the lost Rasalhague district.

As Victor begins his conquest of worlds through the Former Free Words League he stumbles upon Isis Marik. They fall in love and marry (Upon hearing of this Kali Liao swears to kill Isis Marik for taking the love of her life away from her. Thus she will begin covertly to assassinate Isis Marik, many times over the years for this treachery, and this hatred will be also be fostered from one generation to the next)

Victror captures the planet Marik and the surrounding Marik Commonwealt / Stewart Commonality. He therefore puts Isis on the Throne and establishes a legal right of succession for their future children to the throne of the Free Worlds league.

Finally after establishing a new corridor to the Lyran Alliance Victor is met with scorn – his sister Katherine will not vacate the throne to re-establish the Federated Commonwealth – she advises him that if he persists there will be war between their two realms.
(Katherine Steiner is - also at this time –engaged in a war with the Skye separatists to return them to the Lyran Alliance).

Given his limited forces available he is able to commit to a full scale war with his sister. Victor however expands the size of his wife’s realm within the Former Free Worlds League.

Kristen Marik through political manoeuvring and many hard fought battles re-establishes the Free Worlds League (though at a much reduced size –she now commands the centre of the old Free Worlds League; with the periphery commanded by Andurien / Canopus alliance; and the majority of worlds along the old Marik / Steiner border now belong to Victor and Isis).

The following would occur at a time when the major character’s now have adult children.

The now aged Omika Kurita begins to look for new resource rich worlds within the Periphery that could be utilized to expand her military – she therefore commits toward a policy of expansion throughout the periphery region.

Upon Learning of this Katherine Steiner and Victor Davion also establish units to explore their periphery , followed by civilians and corporations to exploit these virgin worlds for their own ends.

Border clashes are inevitable as well as range wars between homesteaders and large corporations.

At this time as the Inner Sphere expands they could stumble upon Kerenskye’s Descendants and the planets they live on – War erupts between them as the Inner Sphere powers attempt to annex them.

Border / Succession Wars could also start anew, between the …
Federated Suns and the Draconis Combine;
Federated Suns and the Lyran Alliance – succession when Kathrine Steiner dies – that could also be undermined by St Ives (due to their old hatred).
Andurien / Canopus Alliance and the Free Worlds League attempting to regain control – one over the other.

Someone within ComStar believes it’s their divine right to rule and together with the technology they have over that of the Inner Sphere States launces a crusade of conquest.

At this stage the number of wars and the reason why they start could be vast and complex.
