== Downfall and Current state == From the Succession Wars to the Dark Age eras in the BattleTech timeline, the Federated Suns were often used as the protagonist state in the BattleTech literature, for a long time. Conversely in turn, the faction recently had to suffer for it. After the glory days of Federated Commonwealth, a dynastic struggle between the too-focused-on-the-clans-to-see-his-own-realm-trouble Victor Steiner Davion and his will-kill-own-mother-to-gain-power sister Catherine, the two realms separated back into the Federated suns and Lyran Commonwealth, and just then, the [[Word of Blake]] started their Jihad. Idealistic as ever, Federated Suns fully supported the new [[Republic of the Sphere]] championed armistice, and seriously reduced its military. Its neighbors PRETENDED to reduce their militaries. As a consequence, when the Inner Sphere heated up again, the Federated Suns was far from good fighting shape. Worse, it came to be ruled by Caleb Davion. Of questionable sanity, limited military ability and disastrous judgement of character, Caleb's blunders led to the massive military defeat at Palmyra, resulting in his death and the enemy Kuritans and Capellans making deep inroads into the realm, to the point where the Kuritans managed to occupy New Avalon itself. The Federated Suns last hope is young Julian Davion, a capable military commander with a suitably massive chin. Under his leadership, the remaining Federated Suns military managed to at least stop the enemy advance. Worth mentioning is that they were significantly helped in this by Republic of the Sphere, who offered a significant amount of military backup in their darkest hour. Unfortunately, when the Republic found itself in its own darkest hour, the Federated Suns were... unable to return the favor due to still dealing with invaders. While the Federated Suns may have become the destination of choice as refuge of the remaining Republic forces after its fall (with the Free Worlds League and Lyran Commonwealth largely either ambivalent or too busy cleaning up house to accommodate ex-Republic soldiers and politicians), this failure is bound to bite them in the ass some day. The fact the Wolves' ilKhan is heir to the Steiner-Davion bloodline and already claims the Archonship makes things less likely to be calm in the future. {{Battletech Factions}} [[Category: BattleTech]]
