The Rim Territories are a Periphery pirate nation that emerged in 3087 after the chaos of the Word of Blake Jihad.[1]
History
The Rim Territories was founded by the union of four ex–Rim Worlds Republic planets - the independent worlds of The Rack and Pain and the former Lyran planets of Engadine and Main Street - and either then or later included six more colonies settled by refugees from the Blakist Jihad.[2] [3] [4]
In December 3148 pirate bands from the Rim Territories took advantage of LCAF weakness in the region to conquer Elume, Canal, Tsarahavana and Issaba.[5] [6]
Government and Society
Officially the Rim Territories was founded as a mutual defense and trade pact. In reality it is first and foremost a collective of pirate groups who each control a world and organize it along the lines of a criminal fiefdom. Despite the nature of its government, however, the Rim Territories has survived for six decades and proven to offer more stable government than the average independent Periphery world.[7]
