Editing Star League (section)

== Legacy ==
IRL There have been a lot of people over the last six centuries that had/have a romantic view of Ancient [[Rome]]. We see this in everything from Neoclassical Architecture to the Founding Fathers quoting Cicero to [[Fascist Italy|Mussolini]] declaring that he'd Restore the Glory that was Rome. Now imagine that instead of just being an advanced-for-it's-day iron age society with good infrastructure and administration the Romans had colonies on the Moon and Mars, self driving cars and fusion reactors. That's basically how people think of Star League in BattleTech. By extension, everyone wants to be the founders of a new Star League made in their own image.

The [[Succession Wars|nuclear scrum]] that set off in 2786 after Kerensky sailed off into the sunset was started by Coordinator Minoru Kurita deciding that he was the new First Lord. The other four Inner Sphere powers had similar views with differences of an "insert-name-here" variety. [[ComStar]]'s view of matters was that none of them were fit for the role and that their objective was to control technology so that they could orchestrate a proper reconstruction of Star League on their terms with the individual power blocks suitably restrained. One of Alexander Kerensky's goals in Operation Exodus was to try to preserve a bastion of [[Star League]] away from the Inner Sphere. After things fell apart and had to be forced back together at gunpoint, Nicholas did a massive societal overhaul. Despite that he maintained that [[The Clans]] were the True inheritors of Star League and that would in time eventually return to try to rebuild it in Alexander Kerensky's name and Nicholas Kerensky's Vision.
