The Periphery is surrounded by the Deep Periphery, though the borders for this region of space are more nebulous.

From this aftermath of that war, seven Clans were abjured, two were absorbed, three were destroyed, and three remain with one being created.

From the nation states of the 20th century up to the [[Republic of the Sphere]] of the 32nd century, Battletech spans myriads of places and trillions of people. Interstellar, succession and civil wars, fragmentation and infighting gave birth to countless factions, of which most are noted below. | ||
