The '''Federated Suns''' has traditionally been the most powerful and largest of the [[Successor States]] to occupy the [[Inner Sphere]].  From their ancestral home of [[New Avalon]], the scions of [[House Davion]] have ruled the Federated Suns since its founding by [[Lucien Davion (23rd c.)|Lucien Davion]] in [[2317]].  While tracing their family line to French and English nobility of ancient [[Terra]] and ruling as constitutional monarchs, the Davions have always positioned themselves and the Federated Suns as champions of liberty and personal freedoms in the Inner Sphere.  This view has bred a sense of righteousness in the Davion cause, serving as both a source of strength and weakness during their history.<ref name=HDTFS5>''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'', p. 5</ref><ref name=IS31>''Inner Sphere'', p. 31</ref>

For a time, the Federated Suns joined together with the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] to create a new superstate, the [[Federated Commonwealth]], which dominated the Inner Sphere during the [[thirty-first century]].  However, internal divisions and other factors eventually led to the Lyran half seceding to form the [[Lyran Alliance]] and the [[FedCom Civil War]].  While maintaining the Federated Commonwealth name for several years afterwards, the rump state eventually returned to its traditional name as the Federated Suns.

During the [[3024]][[3029|29]] period, a secret pact was formed between the Federated Suns and the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], in addition to the public alliance between [[Hanse Davion]] and [[Katrina Steiner]]. In [[3055]], the [[Federated Commonwealth]] was officially formed from those two states. The Lyran Commonwealth seceded from the alliance in [[3057]], beginning the [[FedCom Civil War]]. The [[Federated Commonwealth]] was officially renamed back to ''Federated Suns'' in [[3067]] by [[Yvonne_Steiner-Davion|Regent Yvonne]], with the conclusion of the FedCom Civil War.

Initially, the turmoil of the [[Dark Age]] did not affect the Federation too much, which supplied forces to fight alongside the [[Republic of the Sphere]] against the [[Senate Alliance|Senate dissidents]], under the command of [[Julian Davion]]. After the death of [[Caleb Davion]] in battle against Draconis Combine forces, Julian Davion became the new [[First Prince]], forcing his speedy return to the Federation.  A year after his arrival, the Federated Suns faced one of the greatest crisis in its history: invasions by both the Draconis Combine and Capellan Confederations managing to capture New Avalon, [[Robinson]], and [[New Syrtis]]. With the Federated Suns on the brink of extinction, Julian launched [[Operation CERBERUS]] in [[3147]], succeeding in taking New Syrtis, though at great cost.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 57 </ref>
