Originally part of the [[Principality of Regulus]], [[Gibson]] and a number of neighboring worlds was among that province's members that chose to break away as a result of [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Gerald Marik (27th c.)|Gerald Marik's]] campaign against the Regulan-based [[Scourge of Death]]. Citing the landmark [[Camlann (FWL)|Camlann]] vs. Free Worlds decision, the new province was established in 2699 and its MPs accepted in Parliament a year later. Six worlds made up the Principality's membership from or before [[2750]] until at least [[2864]]: Gibson, [[Clipperton]], [[Molokai]], [[Aconcagua]], [[Mohács]], and [[Ibarra]].<ref name=HMFWLp64>''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 64: "Principality of Gibson"</ref><ref>''Handbook: House Marik'', p. 31: "Timeline: Serpent in Eden"</ref><ref>''Era Report: 2750'', p. 36: "Inner Sphere - 2750" Map</ref><ref>''Handbook: House Marik'', p. 38: "Free Worlds League after Second Succession War" Map</ref> For over two centuries after its founding the Principality was a staunch supporter of [[House Marik]] and firmly opposed to Regulus, both in Parliament and militarily during the [[Succession Crisis]] of [[2882]]. This outlook swiftly changed in [[2919]] with the revelation that Captain-General [[Samuel Marik]] had heavily infiltrated Gibson's government with [[SAFE]] agents to secure control of that world's [[BattleMech]] industry. As a result, during the [[Marik Civil War (31st c.)|Marik Civil War]] the province refused to support either side during the whole conflict, and as of [[3025]] the somewhat paranoid provincial government generally sided with the Parliamentary opposition, though it was also careful to maintain its independence from Regulus as well. At some point prior to this, Aconcagua, Mohács and Ibarra had become independent worlds, leaving the Principality as a three-world province.<ref name=HMFWLp64/><ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', pp. 21–22: "Provincial Loyalties"</ref><ref>''Handbook: House Marik'', p. 42: "Free Worlds League after Third Succession War" Map</ref> In [[3053]], [[Word of Blake]] exiles from [[ComStar]] were permitted to establish themselves on Gibson.
