The Battletech universe is a diverse place, spanning more than a millenium of history and several thousand light years of space. 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.

Regions of Space
Inner Sphere
The Inner Sphere is the heart of the Battletech Universe. Centered around Terra, it stretches across roughly 500 light years in all directions. The most consolidated of all interstellar regions, the Inner Sphere is dominated by five Great Houses: Davion, Liao, Marik, Steiner, and Kurita.

Western Alliance | Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere | Terran Alliance |
First Exodus
After the success of the Deimos Project, the era of the First Exodus was one of rapid expansion and colonisation - both sanctioned settlers and dissidents fleeing the increasingly repressive Terran Alliance had established 600 known colonies by 2235. The Outer Reaches Rebellion ended the First Exodus, as the Terran Alliance completely withdrew from its colonies. [1]

Second Exodus
Due to the power vacuum of the Alliance's withdrawal, chaos and warfare broke out. Many colony worlds were no longer sustainable or subject to prolonged conflicts, their inhabitants again took to the stars, spreading even beyond the settlement boundary of the First Exodus. Meanwhile, the first true interstellar states formed, fought and absorbed each other until the Inner Sphere consolidated into an armed standoff between the six Great Houses.[2]
