Founded by Admiral James McKenna, the Canadian-born leader of the Terran Alliance Global Militia, out of the ruins of the corrupt Terran Alliance, the Terran Hegemony spent most of its history under the rule of the Cameron dynasty. The Terran Hegemony relied heavily on their technological advantages over their less advanced neighbours to maintian their boarders, despite their relative small size and lack of resources. It was the Terran Hegemony which pioneered the Battlemech.
In the mid-2500's, the Terran Hegemony, under the leadership of Ian Cameron, became the nucleus for the star-spanning government known as the Star League. In this Star League, the Terran Hegemony and its ruling House Cameron became the hereditary First Lords in the League High Council.
The Terran Hegemony fell after it was taken over by Stefan Amaris the Usurper of the Rim Worlds Republic. In the following war staged by General Alexandr Kerensky to reclaim the Hegemony worlds, the nation was scoured by war, leaving it a shadow of its former self. Following Kerensky's exodus, the remains of the once mighty Hegemony were conquered by the other Great Houses, leaving only Terra under the control of ComStar.

After the Terran Space Navy was established as a part of the armed forces, the Terran Armed Forces occupied all colonies in the Sol system, being responsible for patrolling and guarding the Sol system space.
This undermining was seen as a way for the Camerons to have a secure place in the TerranHegemony government, as each Cameron was being "elected" the years following.
The house invasion was stalled by a coup, however, and a treaty was reestablished between House Marik and the Hegemony.
