{{quote|''In [[2570]], the six [[Great Houses]] of the Inner Sphere united to create the Star League, promising to bring an end to the generations of warfare that engulfed the worlds mankind now called home. Shortly thereafter, to seal their alliance, they turned against the various independent realms of the Periphery. Over the next twenty years, the so-called [[Reunification War]] would rage, claiming more lives than the savagery of the [[Age of War]] before it, all to realize [[House Cameron]]’s dream of a united humanity—at any cost.''
