Notable Characters
ComStar
While not strictly being one of the Successor States, ComStar is politically influential, as it maintains a monopoly over the HyperPulse Generators, which are crucial to interstellar communication; the threat of a communications blackout makes ComStar a significant power within the Inner Sphere.
ComStar itself is composed of quasi-mystical technicians who tend the HPG arrays. They profess to be neutral to the politics of the Inner Sphere. Jerome Blake is something of a religious figure to ComStar; oaths such as "By the blessed Blake" or epithets such as "Blake's Blood!" are not uncommon. Jerome Blake was the original founder of ComStar, after the Star League fell, and is considered by those within ComStar to be the savior of the Inner Sphere.
Capital, and only world, Terra.
Notable Characters
Mercenaries
Also not truly a Successor State, mercenaries play a large role in the Inner Sphere, and some of the larger groups have considerable political influence and military might.
