The Hinterlands

The Hinterlands is a region of space in the coreward Inner Sphere that was formerly part of Clan Jade Falcon's Occupation Zone.

Following the near-annihilation of the Falcon touman on Terra in early 3151 these worlds were left almost entirely undefended. While the Blackout meant that news of their vulnerability spread slowly, new and existing factions began taking advantage of the power vacuum to claim ex-Falcon worlds for themselves. By mid-3152 Falcon control in the region had shrunk to a four-world remnant centered on Sudeten, three new proto-states had been established, and the two biggest neighboring powers, Clan Hell's Horses and the Lyran Commonwealth, had claimed a number of worlds for themselves. Other systems simply slipped beyond the control of any larger entity or fell under the informal influence of the criminal Malthus Confederation.
