Mid Rim Territories

The Mid Rim Territories, also known as the Mid-systems, is a region located between the Expansion Region and the Outer Rim Territories in the Universe.

With fewer natural resources—and therefore a smaller population—than many neighboring regions, the Mid Rim is a territory where residents work hard for everything they had. Millions of planets build up impressive economies, and pirate raiders often hid in the relatively explored spaces far from major trade routes, disusied as regular people.

Circa 4,000 B the Mid Rim was known as the Frontier or Universal Frontier, as it was the limit of the then explored Known Universe.

During the Clone Wars, control of the Mid Rim fluctuated between the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Universal Republic. Towards the end of the war, most CIS forces were repulsed to the Outer Rim, with Cato Neimoidia being the last notable Separatist stronghold to fall.

Following the Declaration of a New Order, a series of Imperial academies were established throughout the Mid Rim by the Galactic Empire. It is heavily patrolled and guared by the Empire, which feared that it was ripe for the Rebellion to set up bases there during the Rebel era in the Imperial Period.
