Following the conclusion of the 4th Succession War in 3030 the alliance of the Free Worlds League led by Janos Marik and the Federated Suns led by Morgan Davion the Capellan Confederation lays shattered and broken. The combined assaults from both borders stripped them of nearly all their industrial worlds and even Sian was invaded and occupied. Justice was had for the people lost to the whims of Mad Max and his schemes to replace Hanse Davion and Anton Marik to throw his rivals into civil war. During and immediately following the war the Capellans suffered even more loses with the revolt/defection of Colonel Pavel Ridzik and his new Nation the Tikonov Free Republic taking even more worlds for themselves. As well as the entire rimward portion of the Confederation revolting and forming a new reactionary power the Celestial Mandate under the "control" of Maximilian Liao's younger daughter Romona. Leaving Tormano Liao with a depleted remnant of his nation that he would have to rebuild and reform.

The Free Worlds League managed to come out of the war better than expected. With the Lyrans dragging their feet at the start with indecision over what actions to take no worlds were lost during the war. The Duchy of Andurien was tasked with leading one of the major offensives into Capellan space taking many worlds along the border and making deep inroads to link up with their allies in the AFFS. All along the border worlds fell to the FWL and come the conclusion the majority of those worlds were retained.

For the Federated Suns the war was just as rewarding. Maximilian Liao was captured during the joint invasion of Sian, put on trial for his crimes, and finally executed for his crimes. The AFFS proved its ability in the war and with the help of the FWL were able to free up units to hold the line on the Draconis front. Between the FWLM and AFFS all of the Tikonov Commonality, half of the Sarna and Capella Commanalities, 2/3 of the St. Ives Commanality, and every major industrial center except Sian in the Sian Commonality were captured and retained and split between the sides. While facing nothing but success on the Capellan front the Draconis front was less favorable. While the presence of the Wolf's Dragoons and their personal challenge to the Coordinator resulted in many more elite regiments being defeated and broken the units from the Cappellan front only stalled the DCMS advance instead of reversing it. Even so the losses were more than made up for by the gains from the Confederation. The war's end cost the DCMS far more units and equipment than could be recovered anytime soon. This made the FedSuns/FWL Alliance the clear winners of the War.

The Lyran Commonwealth while indecisive for the start of the war on who to attack due to standing alone with no allies eventually decided that the Draconis Combine was the greater threat and moved to launch an assault along the border. Because of their delays and not having troops in position the Combine had moved several key units away from the Lyran border to try and break through on the FedSuns border. This meant that when the Lyrans finally attacked they were able to conquer many worlds along the border including several worlds around Terra. The counter attacks launched by Theodore Kurita only managed to stop the advance but not to reclaim any lost worlds or take any undefended Lyran worlds. This was because the commands available to Theodore were stripped of units for the other fronts by the time the fighting started on the Lyran front. The only consolation for the Draconis Combine was that due to the incompetent rule from Tamar caused resistance from the Rasalhague worlds captured. This allowed the Combine to create a buffer state and remove a large portion of the Lyran's corewards gains by releasing the remaining worlds of Rasalhague forcing the Lyrans to do the same. This led to the creation of the Free Rasalhague Republic and the shortening of the direct border.

In the Rimwards Periphery the 4th SW saw the Helghan Republic using its amassed influence with its allies in the Taurian Concordant, Magistracy of Canopus, and the Aurigan Coalition to form a new alliance between all four of them. The Outer Rim Defense Initiative (ORDI) was created. It was at its core a mutual defense pact between all members. There was also a anti-piracy agreement to increase patrol and cooperation to better deal with the criminal elements in the periphery. The final part was a technology research agreement that combined all the resources of the nations to speed up the development of new technology. Which has resulted in several recovered LosTech equipment DHS, PA(L), Gauss, Ultra, and LB-X being restored by the ORDI nations. With several more technologies in the works. With the ORDI in place it also secured the Periphery from any attacks from the Inner Sphere as the cost of the war had just become much greater than before.

The Taurian Concordant also benefitted from the 4th SW. With the political backing and material support of the Helghan Republic the TDF launched a reconquest of several border worlds from the Confederation. With the Confederation in as bad shape as they were there was no more troops beside the forces already in the rimward portions that could be sent to contest the invasion. The TDF proved their skills by defeating the garrisons and reinforcements and forcing the CC to cede the 10 systems the TDF was occupying.

Due to the war breaking the CCAF, several shattered commands and orphaned units deserted and fled the CC. Some of these units fled into the periphery and instead of just becoming another band of roaming pirates they decided to build a new power base for themselves. By defeating and absorbing a number of pirate bands and turning them into auxiliary units after claiming Liu's Memory, Jia Tian, and Joppa as the start of their Trinity League. While moving against certain worlds for tribute and raiding the Trinity league also conquered and incorporated several more worlds. This stopped after their conquest of Zathras when the Helghan republic opened talks with the Trinity to stop their conquering of other and to keep their auxiliaries in line or else. The Trinity League agreed because the ORDI had just defeated the Celestial Mandate with overwhelming force. As well as the chance to join the ORDI if they reformed and improved their standing and standards for their people. As such the Trinity League has moved their focus to internal development with the start of trade relations with the other ORDI members.
