{{Quote|''Conflict is Inevitable''
''In [[3132]], eighty percent of the [[hyperpulse generator]]s in the Inner Sphere shut down, silencing virtually all interstellar communications between the thousands of worlds humankind called home. Remembering the horrors of the [[Jihad]] that ended just half a century before, paranoid citizens and opportunistic leaders across the Sphere instinctively girded for the invasions that were sure to come. As ancient rivals once again turned against each other, the [[Republic of the Sphere]]—once a beacon of hope for billions—found itself nearly torn asunder by hostile neighbors on every side.''
