The Terran Hegemony was founded by Admiral James McKenna, the Canadian-born leader of the Terran Alliance Global Militia, out of the ruins of the corrupt Terran Alliance. Like the other Great Houses of the Inner Sphere, the Hegemony was heavily influenced by a specific Terran culture, in this case the North American cultural melange. The Terran Hegemony spent most of its history under the rule of the Cameron dynasty. The Terran Hegemony relied heavily on their technological advantages over their less advanced neighbours to maintain their borders, despite their relative small size and lack of resources. It was the Terran Hegemony which pioneered the BattleMech.
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 in the League High Council.
The Terran Hegemony fell after it was taken over by Stefan Amaris of the Rim Worlds Republic. In the following war staged by General Aleksandr Kerensky to reclaim the Hegemony worlds, the nation was scoured by war, leaving it 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.
