The Second Succession War began in 2830 and lasted until 2864. It saw a significant reduction in technological advancement as the Successor Lords sought to cripple their enemies' ability to wage war. Instead, only a handful of planets changed hands and the Inner Sphere had for the most part slipped to a level comparable to early 21st century Terra at its conclusion.
Contents
Beginning
The First Succession War had seen significant atrocities committed by all parties and the cessation of hostilities was more from exhaustion than through any significant peace deals. During the nine years between the end of the First Succession War in 2821 and the beginning of the Second Succession War, the houses rebuilt their forces as rapidly as possible. Tensions remained high throughout the period but finally erupted into open conflict in 2830.
War
The First Succession War had been exceedingly brutal and horrific and the Second was no different. Hundreds of millions of civilians were slaughtered and technological and scientific facilities were again targeted by military forces. As more and more scientists and technicians were killed, several areas of advancements had begun to slip away almost entirely. As the war raged on, each house lost more and more of its capacity to wage war and make technological improvements.
Aftermath
By the end of the Second Succession War in 2863, the level of technological knowledge in the Inner Sphere had slipped drastically. Several areas of knowledge and understanding had been lost, including vital technologies such as hyperpulse generators and faster-than-light (FTL) drives used in JumpShips. House forces were forced to cannibalize parts to effect repairs, rather than being able to manufacture replacements. People of the Inner Sphere knew "how" to use the technology, but they didn't understand it nor could they replicate its creation. The technology was more akin to magic than science for most people. Only three years later, the Inner Sphere would once again erupt in conflict - the Third Succession War.
