Dateline: Terra Earth, Mother of Mankind, is preparing for the gala event of the century, as the time nears for the recently-announced wedding between Archon Designate Melissa Steiner of the Lyran Commonwealth, and Hanse Davion, First Prince of the Federated Suns. The wedding, subject of intense speculation for several months, has been widely hailed both as Mankind's best chance for a lasting interstellar peace, and as a threat to the stability ofthe established order, a blatant attempt by Federated Suns/Commonwealth forces to impose their will on the other major houses of the Inner Sphere. The wedding is scheduled to take place on Earth, on August 20, 3028.
