The '''Terran Hegemony''' was the dynastic realm ruled by [[James McKenna]] and the descendants of his successor, [[Michael Cameron]], and his family line, [[House Cameron]]. The Hegemony lay at the center of the [[Human Sphere]] and [[Inner Sphere]], and encompassed a large number of developed systems within 60-120 light years of humanity's birthworld, [[Terra]]. Like the other Great Houses of the Inner Sphere, the Hegemony was heavily influenced by Terran culture, in this case the North American cultural melange. Possessing many of the oldest and most industrialized worlds humanity had founded, but lacking size and resources and surrounded on all sides the Great Houses, the Hegemony quickly became the leader in technology, especially military research, pioneering both the [[IndustrialMech]] and the [[BattleMech]] and developing massive fleets of [[JumpShip]]s and [[WarShip]]s. The Hegemony eventually dominated Inner Sphere politics, and did so for 400 years. It was impetus by the Terran Hegemony that lead to the formation of the [[Star League]] and mankind's "Golden Age". | The '''Terran Hegemony''' was the dynastic realm ruled by [[James McKenna]] and the descendants of his successor, [[Michael Cameron]], and his family line, [[House Cameron]].

The "Usurper" Amaris befriended the young [[Richard Cameron II|Richard Cameron]], only to murder the First Lord and kill his entire family. The commanding officer of the [[Star League Defense Force]], [[Aleksandr Kerensky]], liberated the Hegemony from Amaris and executed him, but the remnants of the Hegemony were a shadow of its former self.

The Terran Hegemony was an interstellar state located at the center of the Inner Sphere. Established after a military coup led by James McKenna overthrew the vestiges of the Terran Alliance, the Hegemony quickly rose to dominating positions in the realms of technology, military innovations, and diplomacy: its early expansionist period prompted the formation of the Great Houses[1], its era of aggressive diplomacy eventually led to the creation of the Star League[2], and its destruction in the Amaris Civil War led to the Succession Wars.[3]
