Kerensky and Blake are major reasons why the BT universe is so fucked up. Given the power he wielded Kerensky could have guided the galaxy out of the mess Amaris created but instead ceded authority to the Great Houses despite knowing they would be unable to form a new government and all would try to take over the Star League for themselves. Then when the Great Houses inevitably started the war he knew they would start if he did what he did, he immediately rounded up the only forces that could serve as a stabilizing factor and fucked off. And not to the Periphery where the SLDF could have protected and developed the minor powers and colonies while the Inner Sphere fucked itself bloody but to the middle of fucking nowhere. At which point they decided to immediately have their own civil war and turn themselves into totally not!Great Houses with totem animals and batchalls. And Blake, knowing that interstellar communication was the cornerstone of galactic civilization, decided the best course of action would be a campaign of self-serving political maneuvering to invest himself an exceptional amount of soft power by sucking off the Great Houses. That in turn meant that ComStar was not only functionally sacrosanct and immune to conflict, but also that the Great Houses were the best equipped to maintain long campaigns of interstellar warfare thanks to your local ComStar representative at the cost of the Periphery getting fucked. Oh, and they also intentionally exacerbated and facilitated centuries of conflict to weaken the military power of literally everyone while engaging in an intentional campaign of technological repression and regression of everyone not named ComStar because in addition to being an exploitative telecom company they were also Scientology, Blackwater, and JP Morgan playing the long game to take over the known universe.
