	Exploration and colonization of the Kerensky Cluster began by the [[Star League-in-Exile]] under [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] in [[2793]]. The first and best of these early colonies was [[Strana Mechty]], a world more promising than any of the five Pentagon worlds. By the end of the first year of colonization, the Star League-in-Exile had three nascent colonies. By the end of [[2795]], five worlds had been colonized.

−	Compared to the worlds of the [[Inner Sphere]], most of the Kerensky Cluster's planets are only marginally habitable or outright hostile towards human life, and often require [[Star League]]-era terraforming equipment to maintain habitability.

	The Kerensky Cluster remained isolated from the Inner Sphere until the appearance of the ''[[Outbound Light]]'' over [[Huntress]] in [[3048]]. The latter event prompted an [[Operation REVIVAL|invasion of the Inner Sphere]] by the Clans, which in turn created a rift between [[Invader Clans|Invading Clans]] and [[Home Clans]]. The result was the [[Wars of Reaving]] which saw many of the cluster's worlds abandoned or razed, and the Kerensky Cluster returning to isolation by [[3075]].
