Since the late ComEmp period and Fragmentation age the Inner Sphere hyperturings, empires, megacorps, and great houses have been increasingly threatened by newcomers on the periphery. The Efficiency Maximization Paradigm, the Biovirate, the Princes of the Perseus Arm, the Daharran Advance, the Empledok-cetics with their picotech radiation shielding, the aggressive and humourless Laughter Hegemony, the rogue archailect Verifex, the femtotech Amalgamation....
And no sooner is one dealt with then, like the many-headed hydra of Old Earth mythology, two more appear in its place. Some Kalyptics even speculate that the reign of the Inner Sphere powers coming to an end.
the Paradigm - extremist upload superpower, beaten back by a sephirotic alliance
the Biovirate - expansionistic biosupremacist superempire, destroyed by the Keter dominion
the Daharran Advance - hu-xeno perversion - destroyed by the Quasar Dynamic Fleet
the Empledok-cetics - peaceful expansionistic superclade/hyperpolity, still growing
The Zeon - aggressive cyborg clade of unknown origin
the Laughter Hegemony - expansionistic outer volumes empire, more recently broken up into various smaller polities
the Amalgamation - expansionistic femtotech hegemonizing swarm; beaten back by sephirotic alliance
