Editing Velatine Federal Republic (section)

===Succession Wars===

During the Succession War era, the area that would become the Velatine Federal Republic was sporadically populated in fits and bursts as refugees and explorers left from the Inner Sphere and the conflicts - a few "micronations" emerged in the area and warred with each other. Eventually the situation resulted in two powerful noble families burning the meager resources of the area to try and gain supremacy in the area - The Brankovich Family and the Musafir Family. After the Fourth Succession war, the conflict began to take on a new dimension as groups rebelling against both Noble Families began to collude, referring to themselves as the Velatine Partisans. Ragusa, the most profitable, populous and industrialized planet became the center of the conflict.
