The '''Inner Sphere''' is a region of interstellar space surrounding Earth to a radius of roughly 450 - 550 light-years, generally demarcated by the outer borders of the "[[Great Houses]]."  Within this region of about 2 million stars, there are approximately 2000 inhabited planets. Beyond the Inner Sphere is the [[Periphery]].

Colonization of the Inner Sphere began in [[2108]] when the [[Terran Alliance]] launched the first manned faster-than-light mission aboard the ''[[TAS Pathfinder]]''. Between 2108 and [[2235]], the Terran Alliance colonized and ruled the first centralized interstellar government in human history, controlling more than 600 colonies within 120 light years of [[Terra]]. However, corruption and logistics made it impossible to adequately govern such a large body.  Private concerns "illegally" funded exploration and colonization of Inner Sphere worlds as well as worlds located in the [[Periphery]] and the [[Deep Periphery]]. Despite the best efforts of the Terran Alliance to end "blockade running", by the end of the [[Outer Reaches Rebellion]] in [[2236]], the Terran Alliance was declining.
