Pentagon Powers - These were small political/military factions or proto-states that were formed in the wake of the Pentagon Civil War after 2801.
Contents
Brief Description[edit]
These powers were originally part of the five Pentagon Worlds nation known as the Star League In Exile. The nation was established by the SLDF's Exodus Fleet and led by General Alekander Kerensky. However, underlying tensions among the citizenry and soldiers of the SLDF grew after leaving the Inner Sphere. Insurrection in the City of Cathry and ultimately the death of General Alekander Kerensky brought about the demise of the Star League in Exile and gave birth to the fragmented powers which were formed in the fires of unchecked warfare.
These groups were not interstellar powers, but small factions of people divided and united by their past political makeup. The Exodus War Civil War - or Pentagon Civil War as it was sometimes referred to - reduced the technology levels of the Pentagon Powers to a hodgepodge of low technology nations with high-tech artifacts.
It wasn't until 2821, when these nations were destroyed and conquered by ilKhan Nicholas Kerensky and his followers that were known as the Clans that these fractious groups were reunified.
