History
Origins
House Brewer was originally a family of Terran Hegemony administrators who served as the First Lord's representatives to the Lyran Commonwealth. The family was noted for their keen economic, legal and political sensibilities, as well as their willingness to have "frank and open" discussions with the Steiners, regardless of the repercussions to Commonwealth-Hegemony relations.[1] At the beginning of the 1st Succession War, Archon Jennifer Steiner ordered Gerald Brewer, formerly a Baron on Coventry, to take full control of the facilities, which were previously operated jointly by the Commonwealth and the Star League. House Brewer quickly became one of the most important families in the Commonwealth thanks to the clout granted them by the massive factory complex.[2]
Succession Wars
Following the Eighth Battle of Hesperus II, Baron Ivor Brewer, who led the Force of Last Resort against Combine invaders, was raised to the rank of Duke of Hesperus II. [3]
Dark Age
In 3141, Vedet Brewer would depose Melissa Steiner as Archon and take the position for himself. He later fled Tharkad in 3143 rather than face invasion by Clans Wolf and Jade Falcon.
