Capellan Confederation

The Capellan Confederation is one of the fictional five Successor States within the fictional BattleTech universe.

The smallest of the Successor States, The Capellan Confederation is a self-proclaimed socialist meritocracy ruled by House Liao, from whom almost all of the nation's ruling Chancellors have been descended. Its name is derived from the Capellan Reaches, the region of space spreading out from Terra towards the star system Capella, and for the Capellan Hegemony, once centered on Capella, which was one of the Confederation's founding members.

Despite being significantly weaker militarily and economically than its often violently expansionist neighbors, the Confederation has survived for over seven centuries, through the fall of the Star League, four Succession Wars, the Clan invasion, and the Word of Blake Jihad. The Confederation has endured attacks from all of its neighbors, yet has historically both repulsed and rebuilt after each invasion.
