With the passing of a few decades, the modern [[Clan]] political landscape began to take shape as the Clans drifted further and further from one another philosophically.  Initially, [[Clan Jade Falcon]] would bring to the fore a growing desire to return to the Inner Sphere in order to conquer it and restore the Star League, with the Clans holding all power of leadership.  This was based on their interpretation of the words of the Great Kerenskys, including the [[Hidden Hope Doctrine]] of [[Aleksandr Kerensky]]'s [[General Order 137]], as well as the words of the Founder, [[Nicholas Kerensky]].<ref name=TC:WOKp16/><ref name=JFSp17>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 17 - "Call to the Crusaders"</ref>
