Editing Amaris Civil War (section)

== Aftermath ==
With the eradication of House Cameron and with the Terran Hegemony reduced to an ashen husk, there was no longer a viable center of gravity that could hold the Star League together. While many speculated that perhaps Kerensky himself could take the reins, the Great Houses (who already hated him when he was acting as Richard Cameron's regent) immediately stripped him of his titles. And while the SLDF was capable of crushing any singular state military, they had been decimated, lost over 75% of their strength, and were outnumbered by the collective numbers of all the national militaries combined. Understandably, Kerensky decided that the only way to save the Star League was to take its fighting force into exile with hopes that the spirit of the empire can survive while acting as the Sword of Damocles over the Great Houses heads to prevent the Inner Sphere from falling into a vicious period of war. Unfortunately, he failed with the [[Succession Wars]] occurring while SLDF would disintegrate [[The Clans|before mutating]] after his death under the iron grip of his son, Nicholas Kerensky. The fact Nicholas Kerensky was forced to live from childhood to adulthood underground while on the run with the SLDF resistance on Terra played a key role in how jaded he was with the powers that be before he decided to recreate society from scratch by force.
