Chaos March

In the fictional BattleTech gaming universe, the Chaos March is the a zone near the Terra.

After the fall of the Star League all planets in the region were divided between the Great Houses with the exception of Terra, which became a neutral ground controlled by Comstar. Over the years, however, four violent wars wracked the Inner Sphere, which became known as the Succession Wars. After the Fourth Succession War came to its conclusion the FedCom Civil War broke out amongst planets near Terra held by the Federated Commonwealth in 3028. This war spread like a plague, and soon almost every planet near Terra was moving to seperate themselves from their respective ruling Houses.

The FedCom Civil War began as a simple concern for the Federated Commonwealth, but by 3033 it became a major concern for all the houses. The Civil War ended in 3046, and the Chaos March was "established" as a zone of neutral planets guarded by Comstar. The Houses were not content and began preparing for a renewed offensive, and were it not for the Clan Invasion of 3050, there is little doubt the Chaos March would have been reconquered. Over the years of the Invasion and the begginning years of the Steiner-Davion Civil War the Chaos March lived in relative, but hotly disputed, peace, and strengthened its defensive position. In recent times, however, many worlds are falling to the Word of Blake cult and calling for the Word of Blake to guard their planets rather than Comstar, and the Capellan Confederation has launched a renewed offensive, recapturing many lost worlds. The future of the Chaos March is uncertain at best.
