Outer Rim Territories

The Outer Rim Territories, simply known as the Outer Rim, were located outside the Mid Rim Territories. The Outer Rim was the last widely civilized expanse of he Universe before Wild Space and Unknown Space. It is strewn with obscure worlds, and rugged, primitive frontier planets.

=History=

In the ancient Mandalorian Wars, the Mandalorians chose the Outer Rim to begin their campaign against the Universal Republic. In 124 B, the Universal Senate declared the Outer Rim to be a free trade zone. In 19 B, the Outer Rim Sieges were the last battles of the Clone Wars. Immediately after the formation of the Galactic Empire, three stormtrooper batches were grown in the Outer Rim. Much of the Outer Rim is consolidated under Oversector Outer, assigned to Grand Moff Tarkin. Due to its distance from the Core Worlds, the region was home to many supporters of the Rebel Alliance. The Empire's Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin is assigned the difficult task of bringing and keeping the Outer Rim Territories in line.

Moff Sarn Shild considered seceding from the Empire and carving out his own empire in the Outer Rim territories once he tapped into the wealth of the Hutt clans. However, the Emperor, Palpatine, learned of his actions and had him executed before Shild could act.

Trade languages are common in the Outer Rim.
