The title is simply ''The Periphery'' on the cover, the credits page, and in the trademark notice. ==From the back cover== {{quote|''For centuries, the powers of the [[Inner Sphere]] have looked down on their brethren in the [[Periphery]] with thinly-veiled disgust. To the "civilized" worlds of humanity, the Periphery is a backwater, not a place where any respectable person would want to live. And many still remember that the nations of the Periphery fought tooth-and-nail against the [[Star League]]'s attempt to unite all of humanity in a new golden age. Full of hardship, immorality, lawlessness and danger, it is a vast and little-understood region of space.'' ''But that's not the whole story. The Periphery is all of the things that people say about it, but it is also much more. The [[Taurian Concordat]] has a better educational system than most [[Successor States]]. The citizens of the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] enjoy more freedoms than their counterparts in the Inner Sphere. Even the bandit kingdoms are getting into the act, with realms such as the [[Circinus Federation]] and the [[Marian Hegemony]] making moves towards legitimacy.'' ''Following in the footsteps of [[ComStar]]'s original ''[[The Periphery (sourcebook)|Guide to the Periphery]]'', this sourcebook updates our knowledge to the time after the initial [[Clan invasion]]s, when many changes are taking place and important events are happening out in regions where no one is looking.''}} ==Contents== {{div col|colwidth=25em}} * Introduction * The [[Periphery]] ** In the Beginning *** A Subtler War ** A Ripple in the Tide *** The [[Clans]] ** Current Situation *** Status of the States *** [[Explorer Corps (ComStar)|Explorer Corps]] * The [[Taurian Concordat]] ** Beginnings ** [[Star League]] and [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] ** Trouble Brewing *** New Misfortune *** Border Crisis ** Changing of the Guard *** Shadow Deals *** The Final Straw ** New Directions ** Sociopolitical Structure *** Government Structure *** Taurian Nobility *** Conditions for Citizenship ** Cultural Structure *** Religion and Philosophy *** Education *** The Arts ** Domestic and Foreign Policy *** The [[Chaos March]] *** Interstellar Relations ** Taurian Concordat Military *** Uniforms *** Enlisted Ranks *** Officer Ranks *** Structure of the [[TDF]] ** The Taurian Defense Force ** The Colonial Marshals ** Personalities *** [[Jeffrey Calderon]] *** [[Janice Calderon]] *** [[Sherman Maltin]] *** Lord [[Grover Shraplen]] * [[Magistracy of Canopus]] ** Origins and History ** Rebirth ** Emma's Ascension ** Time of the Clans ** Sociopolitical Structure *** Government Structure *** Magistracy Nobility *** Conditions of Citizenship ** Cultural Structure *** Religion *** Education *** The Arts ** Interstellar Relations *** [[ComStar]] and [[Word of Blake]] *** [[Free Worlds League]] *** [[Capellan Confederation]] *** [[Federated Commonwealth]] and [[Lyran Alliance]] *** Other Periphery States ** Domestic Affairs ** Future Goals ** Magistracy Military *** Uniforms *** Enlisted Ranks *** Officer Ranks *** Structure of the [[MAF]] *** Typical MAF Units *** The Colonial Marshals *** Intelligence Operations ** The Magistracy Armed Forces ** Personalities *** [[Emma Centrella]] *** [[Kitiara Galland]] *** Full [[Colonel]] [[Norbert Kingelt]] * [[Outworlds Alliance]] ** Origins and History *** President [[Neil Avellar]] *** ComStar Arrives *** Beginning of the End *** A New Start *** Continuing Opposition ** Sociopolitical Structure *** Government Structure ** Cultural Structure *** Religion and Philosophy *** Education *** The Arts ** Interstellar Relations *** Other Periphery Realms *** ComStar and Word of Blake ** Outworlds Alliance Military *** Structure of the [[AMC]] *** Uniforms *** Enlisted Ranks *** Officer Ranks ** Alliance Military Corps ** Personalities *** [[Mitchell Avellar]] *** [[Barnabas Huard]] *** [[Maurice Avellar]] * [[Marian Hegemony]] ** Foundation and Early History ** Rise of [[Caesar of the Marian Hegemony|Caesar]] Sean *** Sean's Accession *** The Clan invasion *** Conquering the League *** The Caesar and His Heir ** Sociopolitical Structure *** The People *** The Senate *** The Caesar ** Interstellar Relations *** [[Successor States]] *** ComStar and the Word of Blake *** Periphery Nations ** Marian Hegemony Military *** Force Composition and Tactics *** Uniforms *** Officer Ranks ** The Marian Legions ** Personalities *** Caesar [[Sean O'Reilly]] *** [[Julius O'Reilly]] *** [[Adolf Burake]] * [[Circinus Federation]] ** Origins and History ** Rising Sons ** Palatinate Invasion ** On the Defensive ** Interstellar Relations *** ComStar and Word of Blake *** [[Federated Commonwealth]] and [[Lyran Alliance]] *** [[Free Worlds League]] *** Periphery States ** Domestic Affairs *** Political Structure ** Circinus Federation Military *** Uniforms *** Enlisted Ranks *** Officer Ranks ** The Black Warriors ** Personalities *** [[H.
