Overview
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 JumpShips and WarShips. 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".

Geography
The Terran Hegemony was divided into five administrative provinces. These provinces were:
- The Alliance Core: Administered directly from Terra, this province encompassed all of the worlds that had remained members of the Terran Alliance after the Demarcation Declaration of 2240.
- The Lone Star Province: Bordering both the Lyran Commonwealth and the Draconis Combine, this province was administered from the world of Lone Star.
- The Lockdale Province: The only province to border three states (the Draconis Combine, Federated Suns and Capellan Confederation), the Lockdale Province was administered from the world of Lockdale.
- The Terra Firma Province: Administered from the world of Terra Firma, this province bordered the Capellan Confederation and the Free Worlds League.
- The Tyrfing Province: Bordering the Free Worlds League and the Lyran Commonwealth, the Tyrfing Province was administered from the world of Tyrfing.
History
The Hegemony was founded in 2315 by Admiral James McKenna, the Canadian-born leader of the Terran Alliance Global Militia, from the ruins of the corrupt Terran Alliance. However, the decisions by James McKenna's only son, Konrad, led the first Director-General to resign, allowing his distant cousin Michael Cameron to come to power.
In the mid-2500's, the Terran Hegemony, under the leadership of Ian Cameron, became the nucleus for the star-spanning government known as the Star League. In this Star League, the Terran Hegemony and its ruling House Cameron became the hereditary First Lords of the League High Council.
The Terran Hegemony fell after it was taken over by Stefan Amaris of the Rim Worlds Republic. The "Usurper" Amaris befriended the young 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. Following Kerensky's exodus from the Inner Sphere, the remains of the once mighty Hegemony were conquered by the remaining five Great Houses, leaving only Terra which fell under the control of ComStar.
