{{Quote|The Republic doesn't exist out here&hellip;we must survive on our own.|[[Shmi Skywalker Lars/Legends|Shmi Skywalker]]|<ref name="SWE1">{{Film|I}}</ref>}}
The '''Outer Rim Territories''', simply known as the '''Outer Rim''', the '''Outer Rim Worlds''' and alternatively called the '''Outer Rim Systems''', were located outside the [[Mid Rim]]. The Outer Rim was the least widely settled and explored expanse of [[The galaxy/Legends|the galaxy]] before [[Wild Space/Legends|Wild Space]] and the [[Unknown Regions/Legends|Unknown Regions]]. The largest region in the galaxy, it was strewn with diverse [[Planet/Legends|worlds]], and rugged, primitive frontier planets.

==History==
{{Quote|&hellip;See, that's the problem with the Republic. In the Core, everything's great: people are healthy, wealthy and happy. But out here on the Rim things aren't so easy.|[[Darth Bane/Legends|Dessel]]|<ref name="db:pod">''[[Darth Bane: Path of Destruction]]''</ref>}}
===[[Pre-Republic era]]===
For much of galactic history, little was known about the history and cultures of the Outer Rim until the formation of the [[Galactic Republic/Legends|Galactic Republic]] in [[25,053 BBY]].<ref name="TNEC">''[[The New Essential Chronology]]''</ref> During this period, the [[Gree Enclave/Legends|Gree Enclave]] reached its apex while the reptilian [[Kwa]] developed the [[Infinity Gate]]s which allowed them to teleport between worlds.<ref name="TNEC" /> Between [[30,000 BBY|30,000]] to [[25,200 BBY]], the far-reaching [[Rakata/Legends|Rakatan]] [[Infinite Empire]] ruled a number of Outer Rim worlds including [[Tatooine/Legends|Tatooine]], [[Dantooine/Legends|Dantooine]] and [[Honoghr/Legends|Honoghr]].<ref name="TNEC" /> By the dawn of the Republic, these civilizations had faded into history and little remained of their former power.<ref name="TNEC" /><ref name="kotor">''[[Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic]]''</ref>

Around that period, the worlds of the [[Tion Cluster/Legends|Tion Cluster]] were colonized by [[Human/Legends|Human]] settlers from an ancient Core Worlds [[Sleeper ship/Legends|sleeper ship]].<ref name="TNEC" /> Between [[25,130 BBY|25,130]] to [[25,100 BBY]], the tyrannical [[Tionese (people)|Tionese]] dictator [[Xim/Legends|Xim the Despot]] conquered much of the Tion Cluster including the [[Livien League]]. Eventually, his [[Xim's empire|empire]] stretched from the [[Radama Void]] to [[the Maw]].<ref name="TNEC" /><ref name="HSATLL">''[[Han Solo and the Lost Legacy]]''</ref><ref name="TEC">[[The Essential Chronology (real-world book)|''The Essential Chronology'']]</ref>

However, his incursions into the [[Si'Klaata Cluster/Legends|Si'Klaata Cluster]] brought him into [[Xim Wars|conflict]] with the growing [[Hutt Empire]].<ref name="TNEC" /><ref name="HSATLL" /><ref name="TEC" /> During the [[Third Battle of Vontor]] in [[25,100 BBY]], Xim was finally defeated by [[Kossak Inijic Ar'durv|Kossak the Hutt's]] newly acquired army of [[Klatooinian/Legends|Klatooinian]], [[Vodran (species)/Legends|Vodran]], and [[Nikto/Legends|Nikto]] mercenaries.<ref name="TNEC" /><ref name="HSATLL" /><ref name="TEC" /> Xim died a slave in the dungeons of Kossak on [[Varl/Legends|Varl]], but Tionese history claimed that he was treacherously killed at [[Vontor/Legends|Vontor]].<ref name="TEGTPAM">''[[The Essential Guide to Planets and Moons]]''</ref> The Tion Cluster split into several competing states including the [[Honorable Union of Desevro & Tion]].<ref name="TEC" />

===The [[Old Republic era]]===
[[File:Uglykotoricon.svg|thumb|left|200px|The earliest known symbol of the [[Galactic Republic/Legends|Galactic Republic]], dominant government of this period]]
Circa [[25,000 BBY/Legends|25,000 BBY]], the discovery of the [[Perlemian Trade Route/Legends|Perlemian Trade Route]] linked the growing Republic with the Outer Rim world of [[Ossus/Legends|Ossus]], which became the domain of the [[Jedi Order/Legends|Jedi Order]] over the subsequent millennia. Eventually, the Republic began colonizing hundreds of other worlds within the area of Ossus. While the Republic continued to expand in the [[Core Worlds/Legends|Core Worlds]] and the [[Colonies/Legends|Colonies]], Ossus became a [[fortress world]] blocking Tionese and Hutt expansion into the Perlemian.<ref name="TNEC" />

In [[24,000 BBY]], war broke out between the Republic and the Union, spreading to both sides of the Perlemian. The Republic won by turning the Hutts against the Tionese, ending the Union's existence as an independent state and paving the way for galactic domination by the Core-based Republic.<ref name="TNEC" /> By [[23,900 BBY]], the worlds of the former Honorable Union had all joined the Republic as a means of protection against the Hutts with the exception of [[Desevro/Legends|Desevro]] which remained proudly isolationist.<ref name="GATOR">''[[Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds]]''</ref>

In [[12,000 BBY/Legends|12,000 BBY]], the Republic came under the influence of the theocratic and [[Humanocentrism|humanocentric]] [[Pius Dea]] sect which posited [[Contispex I/Legends|Contispex I]] as [[Supreme Chancellor/Legends|Supreme Chancellor]].<ref name="TNEC" /><ref name="TTSP">{{Hyperspace|url=hyperspace/source/praji/20090205.html|text=Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Praji|int=Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Praji}}</ref> Taking advantage of the unpopularity of the Hutts among the Republic's citizens, Constipex sanctioned a [[Pius Dea Crusades|crusade]] against the Hutts.<ref name="TTSP" /> Over the following centuries, his descendants sanctioned several crusades against some rival alien sects in the Outer Rim which fought back, leaving the galaxy in a never-ending state of alternating hot and cold wars.<ref name="TTSP" /> Though Pius Dea rule came to an end in [[11,000 BBY]], the repercussions of these crusades would sour relations between the Core and the Outer Rim over the millennia.<ref name="TNEC" />

Around [[10,000 BBY]], [[Vall Kumauri]] established the short-lived [[Kumauri Empire]] in the remote frontier areas of the Outer Rim.<ref name="cro">''[[Cracken's Rebel Operatives]]''</ref> At its height, the Kumauri Empire included more than thirty [[Star system/Legends|star systems]]. Eventually, the Republic gained the upper hand in the conflict and re-conquered all the territory he had seized. Kumauri's legacy would live on in the tradition of warship design that culminated in the [[Cal-class battleship|''Cal''-class battleship]].<ref name="cro" />

At the end of the [[Hundred-Year Darkness/Legends|Hundred-Year Darkness]] in [[6900 BBY]], several Dark Jedi were [[Battle of Corbos|defeated]] at [[Corbos]] and banished into the uncharted expanses of the Outer Rim.<ref name="TNEC" /><ref name="TEC" /><ref name="TOTJ:GAOTS">''[[Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi — The Golden Age of the Sith]]''</ref> The [[Jedi/Legends|Jedi]] exiles fled to the remote [[Planet/Legends|world]] of [[Korriban]]. After conquering it, they interbred with the native [[Sith (species)/Legends|Sith species]] through the art of [[Sith alchemy/Legends|Sith alchemy]] and began a long period of building and expansion. The Sith Empire developed in complete isolation in the Outer Rim for two thousand years before it eventually rediscovered the Republic.<ref name="TNEC" /><ref name="TEC" /><ref name="TOTJ:GAOTS" />

Under the [[Dark Lord of the Sith/Legends|Sith Lord]] [[Naga Sadow/Legends|Naga Sadow]], the Empire invaded Republic space in [[5000 BBY/Legends|5000 BBY]], during the [[Great Hyperspace War/Legends|Great Hyperspace War]], but it was defeated.<ref name="fotse">''[[Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi — The Fall of the Sith Empire]]''</ref> The Sith Empire was believed to have been destroyed by Republic forces during the [[Second battle of Korriban]], but in fact survived due to a [[Tenebrae|single Sith Lord]] who escaped to the [[Unknown Regions/Legends|Unknown Regions]]. There, this new [[Tenebrae|Sith Emperor]], whose rule lasted for well over a thousand years, rebuilt the Sith Empire in preparation for a [[Great Galactic War]] against the Republic.<ref name="TOR" /> With the Sith threat apparently vanquished, the Republic continued exploring and colonizing worlds in the Outer Rim.<ref name="TNEC" /><ref name="TEC" />

In [[4800 BBY]], the [[Spice/Legends|spice]] [[Ryll/Legends|ryll]] was discovered on the Outer Rim world of [[Ryloth/Legends|Ryloth]], home of the [[Humanoid/Legends|humanoid]] [[Twi'lek/Legends|Twi'lek]] species. However, the [[Neimoidian/Legends|Neimoidians]] seized exclusive distribution rights to the spice and sold them to the newly discovered [[Porporite]] species. Unfortunately, the spice drove them into a homicidal frenzy. Terrified, the Neimoidians hired several [[Gank/Legends|Gank]] mercenaries to protect them. Instead, the Ganks exterminated the Porporites and then embarked on a full-scale war against the Republic, but were eventually put down by the [[Jedi/Legends|Jedi]].<ref name="TNEC" /> Around [[4000 BBY/Legends|4000 BBY]], the [[Mon Calamari/Legends|Mon Calamari]] and [[Quarren/Legends|Quarren]] species of watery [[Dac]] were discovered though its inhabitants had already been exploring nearby star systems for several years.<ref name="KOTORCG">''[[Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide]]''</ref>

During the Old Republic era, the Outer Rim had several remote, scarcely populated planets that included expensive resort worlds for rich tourists, ruined settlements and, it was rumored, hideouts for the [[Black Sun/Legends|Black Sun]], the [[Hutt/Legends|Hutts]] and several outlaws. The [[Outer Rim Oreworks Company|Outer Rim Oreworks]] corporation used its [[Exploratory branch of Outer Rim Oreworks|exploratory branch]] to search useful planets that the corporation could settle and exploit.<ref name="BL">{{GamerCite|7|Bartyn's Landing (article)|Bartyn's Landing}}</ref>

===The [[Old Sith Wars]] era===
[[File:Supernova1.jpg|thumb|200px|The explosion of the [[Cron Cluster/Legends|Cron Cluster]] and the ensuing [[Supernova/Legends|supernova]]]]
During the [[Great Sith War/Legends|Great Sith War]] in [[3996 BBY]], the [[Krath/Legends|Krath]] under [[Aleema Keto]] destroyed the Republic jump station of [[Kemplex IX]] in the [[Auril sector/Legends|Auril sector]].<ref name="totj:tsw4">[[Tales of the Jedi &ndash; The Sith War 4|''Tales of the Jedi &ndash; The Sith War'' 4]]</ref> Shortly afterward, the Krath and their Jedi pursuers were destroyed in a [[Cron Supernova/Legends|massive supernova]] which engulfed the [[Cron Cluster/Legends|Cron Cluster]], a nearby stellar body of ten densely packed stars. The ensuing blast devastated the surface of the ancient Jedi outpost of Ossus and created the [[Cron Drift/Legends|Cron Drift]].<ref name="totj:tsw4" />

During the [[Mandalorian Wars]] ([[3976 BBY|3976]]-[[3960 BBY]]), the [[Mandalorian/Legends|Mandalorians]] chose the Outer Rim to begin their campaign against the [[Galactic Republic/Legends|Galactic Republic]].<ref name="TNEC" /> In [[3976 BBY]], the [[Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders/Legends|Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders]] under [[Mandalore the Ultimate]] embarked on a [[Mandalorian Wars|campaign of conquest]] along the Outer Rim Territories, on the edge of Republic space.<ref name="TNEC" /> Conquering worlds as varied as [[Althir III]] and [[Cathar (planet)|Cathar]], the Neo-Crusaders had carved out a clan territory larger that the space ruled by the [[Hutt/Legends|Hutts]] in less than a decade. Weakened by the Sith War, the Republic and the [[Jedi Council/Legends|Jedi Council]] refused to intervene at first.<ref name="kotor" />

In [[3970 BBY]], the [[Myrialites]] under [[Governor/Legends|Provisional Governor]] [[Myrial]] of [[Argazda/Legends|Argazda]] seceded the [[Kanz sector]] from the Republic. Myrialite forces invaded worlds in that sector that resisted her rule including [[Lorrd/Legends|Lorrd]] and [[Amaltanna]]. For three hundred years, her successors ruled the sector as an independent fiefdom known as the [[Argazdan Redoubt]]&mdash;enslaving many peoples including the [[Lorrdian/Legends|Lorrdians]]. In [[3670 BBY]], the "[[Kanz Disorders/Legends|Kanz Disorders]]" came to an end when Jedi/Republic forces under the Lorrdian [[Jedi Master/Legends|Jedi Master]] [[Mari-Elan Nora]] toppled the regime and restored Republic rule to the sector.<ref name="TNEC" /><ref name="TEC" />

In [[3963 BBY]], the Mandalorians invaded the Galactic Republic proper, forcing the Republic to enter the war. In defiance of the Jedi Council, the [[Jedi Knight/Legends|Jedi Knights]] [[Revan/Legends|Revan]] and [[Darth Malak|Malak]] led the Republic Navy in a fierce counter-offensive against the Neo-Crusaders, winning key battles at [[Taris/Legends|Taris]], [[Jaga's Cluster]] and Althir. During the [[Battle of Malachor V|cataclysmic battle]] of [[Malachor V]], much of the Mandalorian fleet was destroyed and the planet was fractured to the core. Defeated, the Mandalorians capitulated and destroyed their weapons and armor.

In [[3960 BBY]], during the [[Jedi Civil War]], [[Telos IV]] was devastated by a [[Darth Revan's Sith Empire|Sith]] fleet under the command of the renegade Jedi-turned-[[Sith Lord/Legends|Sith Lord]] Malak and former Republic [[Admiral/Legends|Admiral]] [[Saul Karath]].<ref name="kotor" /> Later, in [[3956 BBY]], Sith forces [[Orbital bombardment/Legends|leveled]] the surface of Taris, destroying the world-spanning city and killing billions.<ref name="kotor" /> By [[3950 BBY]], much of the Rim had fallen into chaos as a result of infighting amongst the various surviving Sith warlords. Thus, the Republic was able to reclaim much of the Rim that had been under Sith control since the Great Sith War.<ref name="TNEC" />

In [[3700 BBY/Legends|3700 BBY]], the female pioneer [[Freia Kallea/Legends|Freia Kallea]] discovered a new [[Hyperlane|hyperspace route]] which became known as the [[Hydian Way/Legends|Hydian Way]].<ref name="TEA" /> Spanning the width of the [[Galaxy/Legends|galaxy]], the Hydian Way ran from the Outer Rim world of Bonadan and continued through the Core Worlds to Eriadu on the other side. The Hydian helped open up much of the galaxy beyond the region known as the [[The Slice/Legends|Slice]], fundamentally altering the scale of galactic civilization.<ref name="TNEC" /><ref name="TEC" /> As a result, the Republic established new colonies in the Mid Rim and Outer Rim Territories.<ref name="TNEC" /><ref name="TEC" />

In [[3681 BBY]], the resurgent [[Sith Empire/Legends|Sith Empire]] struck back against the Republic in the [[Great Galactic War]].<ref name="TOR" /> Catching the Republic by surprise, the Sith seized many worlds in the Outer Rim Territories, destroyed the shipyards at Sluis Van and cut off the [[Rimma Trade Route/Legends|Rimma Trade Route]].<ref name="TOR" /> The Republic suffered further defeats at [[Agamar/Legends|Agamar]] and [[Utapau/Legends|Utapau]], and was constantly harassed over the century.<ref name="TOR" />

[[File:TreatyofCoruscantborders.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Large areas of the Outer Rim Territories were ceded to the [[Sith Empire/Legends|Sith Empire]] under the [[Treaty of Coruscant]].]]
By [[3653 BBY]], the Republic had been driven back to the Core Worlds, leaving the Sith in control of much of the Rim.<ref name="TOR" /> Following the [[Sacking of Coruscant]], the Republic was forced to give up many outlying systems to the Sith in the punitive [[Treaty of Coruscant]].<ref name="TOR" /> The end of the Great War set the stage for a [[Cold War (Galactic Republic&ndash;Sith Empire)|Cold War]] between the Sith Empire and the Republic in the years that followed. This cold war saw a number of border skirmishes and proxy wars, pushing the two superpowers to the brink of another war.<ref name="TOR" />

During this time, [[Mandalorian armor/Legends|Mandalorian armor]] and weaponry was mysteriously seen in the hands of Outer Rim [[Pirate/Legends|pirates]]. Eventually, someone was assigned to discover the source of the materials.<ref name="Mandalorian Weapons">{{TORcite|type=crewskill|Investigation|Mandalorian Weapons}}</ref>

===The [[New Sith Wars]] era===
In [[2000 BBY/Legends|2000 BBY]], the Republic once more faced the menace of the [[Sith/Legends|Sith]] in the [[New Sith]].<ref name="TNEC" /> Over the centuries, the Republic continuously fought various Sith factions across the galaxy including the Rim. The losses for the Republic were so catastrophic that a [[Republic Dark Age|dark age]] began in [[1100 BBY]], with widespread social unrest and economic collapse. The collapse of the [[HoloNet/Legends|HoloNet]] and [[Galactic economy|interstellar commerce]] precipitated a breakdown in communication and trade between the Core and the Rim.<ref name="TNEC" />

The Republic itself shrank to a mere rump state surrounding the Core Worlds, with the Sith Empire encompassing virtually the rest of the entire galaxy. The Jedi took over absolute authority, ruling the remainder of the Republic directly. In [[1000 BBY]], the Sith were finally defeated at [[Ruusan/Legends|Ruusan]] in the [[Mid Rim]] although much of the galaxy was left scarred and devastated by the attrition warfare.<ref name="TNEC" />

Tensions still lingered between inhabitants of the Outer Rim and the Core Worlds due to the former's perceived exploitation by the latter, as in the case of [[Apatros/Legends|Apatros]] which was controlled by the Outer Rim Oreworks company.<ref name="db:pod" /> Both the Republic and the Sith sought to exploit the labor and resources of many Rimward worlds.<ref name="db:pod" /> Taking advantage of regional tensions, the Sith enticed many Rim inhabitants into their military forces and the Sith order.<ref name="db:pod" />

===[[Rise of the Empire era]]===
[[File:CSAPoster.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Corporate Sector Authority/Legends|Corporate Sector Authority]] propaganda efforts to encourage investment in the [[Corporate Sector/Legends|Corporate Sector]], in the [[Tingel Arm/Legends|Tingel Arm]]]]
Under the [[Ruusan Reformation]] instituted by [[Supreme Chancellor/Legends|Supreme Chancellor]] [[Tarsus Valorum/Legends|Tarsus Valorum]] in 1000 BBY, many Outer Rim systems and sectors benefited from the Republic granting greater administrative power to local and sector governments.<ref name="TNEC" /> With the demobilization of the [[Republic Military/Legends|Republic Military]] in favor of smaller [[Judicial Forces/Legends|Judicial Forces]], many Outer Rim governments, such as that of [[Utapau/Legends|Utapau]], developed their own local defense forces.<ref name="ros:ics">''[[Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith Incredible Cross-Sections]]''</ref> Over the centuries, much of the galaxy including the Outer Rim presumably recovered from the Sith Wars. Still, the region was considered remote and undeveloped by the Core-based government.<ref name="TNEC" />

Around [[702 BBY]], the [[Grissmath Dynasty]] ruled the [[Meridian sector/Legends|Meridian sector]]. The dynasty exiled dissidents to [[Nam Chorios/Legends|Nam Chorios]] and attempted to exterminate prisoners by seeding the planet with the [[Death Seed]] plague.<ref name="pot">''[[Planet of Twilight]]''</ref> However, they survived and their descendants would become known as [[Oldtimer]]s.<ref name="pot" /> At an unknown date, the capital [[Meridian]] was reduced to a charred radioactive ball as a result of orbital bombardment. Soon, the Grissmath Dynasty collapsed.<ref name="pot" />

In [[600 BBY/Legends|600 BBY]], a fallen [[Jedi Knight/Legends|Jedi Knight]] named [[Allya/Legends|Allya]] was exiled to the rugged frontier world of [[Dathomir/Legends|Dathomir]] that had served as an outlying penal colony since for generations. Gradually, she established a matriarchal [[Force-sensitive/Legends|Force-sensitive]] cult known as the [[Witches of Dathomir]].<ref name="tcopl">''[[The Courtship of Princess Leia]]''</ref>

In [[490 BBY]], a free-enterprise fiefdom known as the [[Corporate Sector/Legends|Corporate Sector]] was established in the Outer Rim, in the [[Tingel Arm/Legends|Tingel Arm]] region, to resolve differences between the Republic government and the various corporations and to establish a free trade zone. Over the following centuries, the sector became dominated entirely by various corporate interests including [[Kuat Drive Yards/Legends|Kuat Drive Yards]], [[Cybot Galactica/Legends|Cybot Galactica]]. The sector had its own government which remained outside the jurisdiction of the Coruscant government known as the [[Corporate Sector Authority/Legends|Corporate Sector Authority]].<ref name="TNEC" />

In [[340 BBY]], the Jedi training vessel ''[[Chu'unthor]]'' crashed on Dathomir.<ref name="tcopl" /> A group of Jedi (including [[Yoda/Legends|Yoda]], [[Gra'aton]], and [[Vulatan]]) were sent to attempt a rescue of the vessel's crew and passengers, but were stopped by the Witches of Dathomir.<ref name="tcopl" /> However, after Yoda saved the life of a young witch named [[Rell (Dathomir)|Rell]], the two parties were able to come to a peaceful settlement. In [[300 BBY/Legends|300 BBY]], the Republic took over [[Lianna/Legends|Lianna]] in the Tion Cluster from [[Barseg]].<ref name="MTL">''[[Mission to Lianna]]''</ref>

In [[150 BBY/Legends|150 BBY]], the [[Bakur Mining Corporation]] of [[Hemei IV]] under [[Captain/Legends|Captain]] [[Deredith Arden]] colonized the planet of [[Bakura/Legends|Bakura]] in the [[Shiritoku Spur]].<ref name="TTAB">''[[The Truce at Bakura]]''</ref> Around [[100 BBY/Legends|100 BBY]], [[Republic Sienar Systems/Legends|Sienar Technologies]] set up operations on Lianna. Soon after, the company was taken over by [[Kerred Santhe]], who moved his company's headquarters to Lianna.<ref name="MTL" />

In [[124 BBY]], the [[Jedi Master/Legends|Jedi Master]] [[Omo Bouri]] helped pass the [[Treaty of Trammis]].<ref name="TNEC" /> However, that same year, the [[Galactic Senate/Legends|Galactic Senate]] declared the Outer Rim to be a [[Free Trade Zone/Legends|free trade zone]]. This allowed corporations like the [[Trade Federation of Planets|Trade Federation]] and the [[Commerce Guild/Legends|Commerce Guild]] to represent local governments that aligned with them in the Senate, giving them voting power.<ref name="TNEC" /><ref name="ep1ig:">''[[Star Wars: Episode I Insider's Guide]]''</ref>

In [[53 BBY/Legends|53 BBY]], the dictatorial [[Governor of Telos]] [[Crion]] was overthrown during the [[Telosian Civil War]].<ref name="ja:tdr:">''[[Jedi Apprentice: The Dark Rival]]''</ref> In [[44 BBY/Legends|44 BBY]], the pirate [[Iaco Stark]] was defeated in five consecutive battles around [[Troiken/Legends|Troiken]] during the short-lived [[Stark Hyperspace War/Legends|Stark Hyperspace War]].<ref name="SWR:TSHW:">''[[Star Wars: Republic: The Stark Hyperspace War]]''</ref> Despite the defeat of the piratical [[Stark Commercial Combine]], the heavy casualties sustained by the Republic forces in bringing down the insurrection renewed calls for the rejuvenation of the [[Republic Army]] and [[Republic Navy|Navy]].<ref name="TNEC" />

In [[33 BBY/Legends|33 BBY]], a [[Eriadu Trade Summit|trade summit]] on [[Eriadu/Legends|Eriadu]] was interrupted by the successful assassination of six [[Trade Federation Directorate]] members and a failed attempt against Chancellor [[Finis Valorum/Legends|Finis Valorum]]. The Summit ended prematurely, with nothing resolved.<ref name="COD:">''[[Cloak of Deception]]''</ref> The Senate unilaterally passed [[Senate Resolution BR-0371]] which increased taxation of hyperspace routes in the Mid and Outer Rim with revenue going to the Republic. Aspiring [[Senator/Legends|Senator]] [[Palpatine/Legends|Palpatine]]&mdash;who had orchestrated the assassination as [[Palpatine/Legends|Darth Sidious]]&mdash;was a prominent supporter of the resolution.<ref name="TNEC" /><ref name="SWE1" />

In defiance of the taxation of the Outer Rim trade routes, [[Trade Federation Viceroy]] [[Nute Gunray/Legends|Nute Gunray]] [[Invasion of Naboo/Legends|blockaded]] the Mid Rim world of [[Naboo/Legends|Naboo]] in [[32 BBY/Legends|32 BBY]].<ref name="SWE1" /> Concurrent with the events on Naboo, the [[Force-sensitive/Legends|Force-strong]] [[Anakin Skywalker/Legends|Anakin Skywalker]] was discovered by [[Jedi Master/Legends|Jedi Master]] [[Qui-Gon Jinn/Legends|Qui-Gon Jinn]] on the remote desert world of [[Tatooine/Legends|Tatooine]]. Shortly afterward, Qui-Gon and his [[Padawan/Legends|Padawan]] [[Obi-Wan Kenobi/Legends|Kenobi]] were attacked by [[Darth Maul/Legends|Darth Maul]].<ref name="SWE1" />

In [[29 BBY/Legends|29 BBY]], the [[Republic Outland Regions Security Force]] under [[Wilhuff Tarkin/Legends|Wilhuff Tarkin]] launched an unsuccessful attack against the planet [[Zonama Sekot/Legends|Zonama Sekot]] in the [[Gardaji Rift]]. In response, the sentient world unveiled its own [[Hyperdrive/Legends|hyperdrive]] system and fled into the [[Unknown Regions/Legends|Unknown Regions]].<ref name="RP:">''[[Rogue Planet]]''</ref>

[[File:Battle_of_Geonosis.png|thumb|left|300px|The [[First Battle of Geonosis/Legends|First Battle of Geonosis]] rages]]
Between [[24 BBY/Legends|24 BBY]] to [[22 BBY/Legends|22 BBY]], dissatisfaction with the Republic for various reasons culminated in the [[Separatist Crisis/Legends|Separatist Crisis]]. The Outer Rim, dissatisfied with their lack of representation in the Senate, and the disproportionate amount of economic or military attention they received, even during crises, made up a large portion of those who supported the Separatists. Under the leadership of former Jedi [[Count/Legends|Count]] [[Dooku/Legends|Dooku]], various worlds, corporations and factions across the galaxy seceded from the Republic. Many Outer Rim worlds including [[Geonosis/Legends|Geonosis]], [[Muunilinst/Legends|Muunilinst]], [[Jabiim/Legends|Jabiim]] and [[Sullust/Legends|Sullust]] joined the budding [[Confederacy of Independent Systems/Legends|Confederacy of Independent Systems]], offering their labor and resources to the Separatist cause.<ref name="TNEC" /><ref name="AOTC">{{Film|II}}</ref>

In [[22 BBY/Legends|22 BBY]], the [[Elrood sector/Legends|Elrood]], [[Danjar sector|Danjar]], [[Tantra sector|Tantra]], [[Sluis sector/Legends|Sluis]], [[Lahara sector|Lahara]] and [[Abrion sector/Legends|Abrion sectors]] left the Republic; bringing parts of the [[Rimma Trade Route/Legends|Rimma Trade Route]], [[Mirgoshir hyperspace crossroads]] and over 200 [[Agriworld/Legends|agriworlds]] under Separatist control.<ref name="TNEC" /> Later that year, the [[Clone Wars/Legends|Clone Wars]] started with the [[First Battle of Geonosis/Legends|First Battle of Geonosis]] which pitted the [[Cloning/Legends|clone]]-based [[Grand Army of the Republic/Legends|Grand Army of the Republic]] against the [[Separatist Droid Army/Legends|Separatist Droid Army]].<ref name="TNEC" /><ref name="AOTC" />

Lianna was strategically important to the Republic as the site of a [[Sienar Fleet Systems/Legends|Sienar Fleet Systems]] [[Starfighter/Legends|starfighter]] facility. With [[Raith Sienar/Legends|Raith Sienar's]] designers working on new fighters for the Republic Navy, it was invaded by Separatist forces. However, Republic forces under the [[Jedi General/Legends|Jedi General]] [[Cei Vookto]] repelled them.<ref name="TNEC" /><ref name="J:MW">''[[Jedi: Mace Windu]]''</ref> In [[22 BBY/Legends|22 BBY]], Republic forces under Kenobi and Skywalker captured the Separatist financial center [[Muunilinst/Legends|Muunilinst]].<ref name="TNEC" />

Another important Outer Rim planet was [[Tatooine/Legends|Tatooine]] since [[Jabba Desilijic Tiure/Legends|Jabba the Hutt]] controlled major routes. [[Obi-Wan Kenobi/Legends|Obi-Wan Kenobi]], [[Anakin Skywalker/Legends|Anakin Skywalker]] and [[Ahsoka Tano/Legends|Ahsoka Tano]] went there to arrange a peace treaty with Jabba as did Count Dooku. This resulted in the Republic earning the alliance of [[Jabba Desilijic Tiure's criminal empire]] against the [[Confederacy of Independent Systems/Legends|CIS]] during the [[Clone Wars/Legends|war]].<ref name="clonewars">''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars (film)]]''</ref>

Republic forces under Skywalker succeeded in securing the key HoloNet hub of [[Praesitlyn]].<ref name="TNEC" /> By [[19 BBY/Legends|19 BBY]], the Republic had driven much of the Confederacy from the Core Worlds and [[Colonies/Legends|Colonies]] into the Mid and Outer Rims. This set the stage for the [[Outer Rim Sieges/Legends|Outer Rim Sieges]], which embroiled worlds as myriad as [[Saleucami/Legends|Saleucami]], [[Utapau/Legends|Utapau]], [[Sluis Van/Legends|Sluis Van]], [[Mygeeto/Legends|Mygeeto]] and [[Felucia/Legends|Felucia]].<ref name="TNEC" /> With the death of the [[Separatist Council]] on [[Mustafar/Legends|Mustafar]], the Confederacy was defeated by the Republic's successor state&mdash;the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire]].<ref name="rots">{{Film|III}}</ref>

===The [[Imperial Period]]===
[[File:Outer_Rim_Sectors.jpg|thumb|right|300px|The [[Sector/Legends|sectors]] of the Outer Rim circa [[0 BBY/Legends|0 BBY]], as reorganized by the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire]]]]
Much of the early [[Imperial Period]] was spent suppressing the remaining [[Separatist holdouts/Legends|Separatist holdouts]] including [[Acherin]], [[New Plympto/Legends|New Plympto]] and [[Enarc (Enarc system)|Enarc]].<ref name="TLOTJ:DW">''[[The Last of the Jedi: Dark Warning]]''</ref><ref name="SWR80:ITUP2">[[Republic 80|''Republic'' 80]]</ref><ref name="SWDT1:TPTNP1">[[Dark Times 1|''Dark Times'' 1]]</ref><ref name="TCSWE">''[[The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia]]''</ref> In retaliation for the signing of the [[Petition of 2000]] by both [[Mon Calamari/Legends|Mon Calamari]] and [[Quarren/Legends|Quarren]] senators, their homeworld of [[Dac]] was [[Subjugation of Mon Calamari|invaded]] by Imperial forces under [[Grand Moff/Legends|Grand Moff]] [[Wilhuff Tarkin/Legends|Wilhuff Tarkin]].<ref name="SWSB">''[[The Star Wars Sourcebook]]''</ref><ref name="DESB">''[[Dark Empire Sourcebook]]''</ref> Under [[Order 66/Legends|Order 66]], all Jedi operating in the Rim were targeted for execution, forcing the survivors into hiding.<ref name="TNEC" /> In large part because of the [[Imperialization/Legends|Imperialization]] efforts shortly after the formation of the Empire, the Outer Rim Territories were occasionally referred to as the Imperial Outlands.<ref name="Visual Dictionary">''[[Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary]]''</ref> In addition, the Outer Rim was also subject to several campaigns in the [[Reconquest of the Rim]].<ref name="EGW">''[[The Essential Guide to Warfare]]''</ref>

Due to its distance from the [[Core Worlds/Legends|Core Worlds]], and its former status as the core of [[Confederacy of Independent Systems/Legends|Confederacy of Independent Systems]] support, the region was home to many supporters of the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebel Alliance]].<ref name="TEC" /> Jedi Knight [[Luke Skywalker/Legends|Luke Skywalker]]&mdash;son of Anakin Skywalker&mdash;was raised on the desert world of [[Tatooine/Legends|Tatooine]].<ref name="SWIV">{{Film|IV}}</ref> Mon Calamari [[Admiral/Legends|Admiral]] [[Gial Ackbar/Legends|Gial Ackbar]], who became a prominent naval [[Commander/Legends|commander]] in the Alliance and New Republic during the [[Galactic Civil War/Legends|Galactic Civil War]], was a native of the watery world of Dac.<ref name="SWR(vg)">''[[Star Wars: Rebellion (video game)]]''</ref> Jedi Master and Alliance operative [[Kyle Katarn]], who destroyed the [[dark trooper]] program, came from the moon [[Sulon]] in the [[Sullust system/Legends|Sullust system]].<ref name="DF:SFTE">''[[Dark Forces: Soldier for the Empire]]''</ref>

Grand Moff Tarkin was assigned the difficult task of bringing and keeping the Outer Rim Territories in line.<ref name="SWIV" /> Much of the Outer Rim was consolidated under [[Oversector Outer]],<ref name="TEGTC">''[[The Essential Guide to Characters]]''</ref> patrolled by the [[Outer Rim Imperial Fleet]].<ref name="EGW" /> As part of the [[Tarkin Doctrine/Legends|Tarkin Doctrine]], the planet-destroying [[DS-1 Orbital Battle Station/Legends|Death Star]] superweapon was constructed for twenty years over the planet [[Despayre]] through the use of [[Slavery/Legends|slave labor]].<ref name="TEC" /> Soon after the battlestation was completed in [[0 BBY/Legends|0 BBY]], Despayre itself was destroyed to test the Death Star's effectiveness.<ref name="DSnovel">''[[Death Star (novel)]]''</ref>

As a means of increasing the Empire's presence in this region, three [[Stormtrooper/Legends|Stormtrooper]] batches were grown in the Outer Rim. In [[18 BBY/Legends|18 BBY]], Palpatine dispatched the ''[[Eye of Palpatine]]'' dreadnaught on a mission to destroy [[Belsavis/Legends|Belsavis's]] [[Plawal Rift]] which sheltered [[Ho'Din/Legends|Ho'Din]] Jedi Master [[Plett]] and the [[Children of the Jedi]]. However, the battlemoon was sabotaged by Jedi Purge survivors [[Geith Eris]] and [[Callista Ming]].<ref name="TNEC" /><ref name="TEC" /><ref name="COTJ">[[Children of the Jedi (novel)|''Children of the Jedi'']]</ref>

During this period, Lianna in the Tion Cluster remained the main center of operations for the pro-Imperial [[Sienar Fleet Systems/Legends|Sienar Fleet Systems]] which supplied [[Starfighter/Legends|starfighters]] and [[Starship/Legends|starships]] to the [[Imperial Navy/Legends|Imperial Navy]].<ref name="MTL" /> Around [[15 BBY/Legends|15 BBY]], [[Ylesia/Legends|Ylesia]] was first settled by [[Aruk Besadii Aora]] who established the [[Cult of The One and The All]] as a cover for their [[Spice/Legends|spice]] mining operations.<ref name="TPS">''[[The Paradise Snare]]''</ref> The [[Abominor]] known as the [[Great Heep]] was also destroyed on [[Biitu]] by the efforts of [[R2-D2/Legends|R2-D2]] and [[C-3PO/Legends|C-3PO]].<ref name="TNEGTD">''[[The New Essential Guide to Droids]]''</ref>

In [[13 BBY/Legends|13 BBY]], the descendants of the Republic-era [[Grizmallt/Legends|Grizmallt]] colonists in the [[Renatasia system]] were rediscovered. The next year, in [[12 BBY/Legends|12 BBY]], Imperial and [[Centrality/Legends|Centrality]] forces under [[Osuno Whett/Legends|Osuno Whett]] [[Battle of Renatasia|conquered]] the [[Renatasia system]].<ref name="TEC" /><ref name="StarcaveofThonBoka">''[[Lando Calrissian and the Starcave of ThonBoka]]''</ref> In [[11 BBY/Legends|11 BBY]], [[Gizor Dellso]]'s [[Gizor Dellso's navy|Separatist Remnant]] was defeated on [[Geonosis/Legends|Geonosis]] by the elite [[501st Legion/Legends|501st Legion]].<ref name="SWBFII">''[[Star Wars: Battlefront II]]''</ref> Around [[9 BBY/Legends|9 BBY]], [[Captain/Legends|Captain]] [[Mitth'raw'nuruodo/Legends|Thrawn]] finally succeeded in crushing the decade-long [[Kaleesh Resistance|Kaleesh insurgency]], although with heavy casualties on both sides.

During the [[Firrerreo Genocide]] that same year, the [[Firrerreo/Legends|Firrerreo]] [[Procurator of Justice]] [[Hethrir]] destroyed all life on his homeworld of [[Firrerre/Legends|Firrerre]] by unleashing a lethal strain of the [[hive virus]]. The planet was quarantined while thousands of adult Firrerreo were abducted and imprisoned in [[Suspended animation/Legends|suspended animation]] aboard [[passenger freighter]]s.<ref name="The Crystal Star">''[[The Crystal Star]]''</ref>

Meanwhile on [[Rafa IV]], the activation of an ancient [[Sharu/Legends|Sharu]] relic discovered by [[Lando Calrissian/Legends|Lando Calrissian]] known as the [[Mindharp]] unleashed subharmonic emanations which started a reversal of social order in the [[Rafa system/Legends|Rafa system]].<ref name="MindharpofSharu">''[[Lando Calrissian and the Mindharp of Sharu]]''</ref> The Toka were restored as the legendary Sharu while the pyramids crumbled, with strange, new cities emerging.

Many of the Human settlements had also been destroyed, and the surviving settlers fled. Trade with the Rafa system also collapsed overnight.<ref name="TEC" />

In [[3 BBY/Legends|3 BBY]], the Imperials and Centrality attempted to exterminate the [[Oswaft]] species but were thwarted by the joint efforts of Calrissian and [[Vuffi Raa]] during the [[Battle of ThonBoka]] and the arrival of the mysterious [[Silentium]]. The [[Sorcerers of Tund/Legends|Sorcerer of Tund]] [[Rokur Gepta]] was also slain during the battle.<ref name="StarcaveofThonBoka" /> In [[2 BBY/Legends|2 BBY]], [[Han Solo/Legends|Han Solo]] and [[Chewbacca/Legends|Chewbacca]] accidentally started the [[Cult of Varn]] amongst the insectoid [[Kamarian]]s of the desert world of [[Kamar/Legends|Kamar]] who revered [[Water/Legends|water]].<ref name="HSR">''[[Han Solo's Revenge]]''</ref>

By 2 BBY, most of the Separatist holdouts in the Outer Rim had been absorbed into the newly formed Alliance to Restore the Republic, beginning the [[Galactic Civil War/Legends|Galactic Civil War]].<ref name="SWBFII" /> In [[1 BBY/Legends|1 BBY]], the [[Mon Calamari Resistance]] succeeded in wresting Dac from Imperial control.<ref name="TEC" /> However, that same year, [[Sriluur/Legends|Sriluur]] and [[Sulon]] were conquered by the Imperials.<ref name="TEA" /> Meanwhile, the Rebel Alliance [[Battle of Ylesia|launched]] an attack on Ylesia, disrupting the Besadii clan's spice mining operations and freeing the slaves.<ref name="RD">''[[Rebel Dawn]]''</ref>

With the [[Dissolution of the Imperial Senate/Legends|dissolution of the Imperial Senate]] in [[0 BBY/Legends|0 BBY]] by order of Emperor Palpatine, [[Moff/Legends|Moffs]] and Regional [[Governor/Legends|Governors]] were given direct control over their [[Star system/Legends|systems]] and [[Sector/Legends|sectors]].<ref name="SWIV" /> That same year, the Rebel Alliance scored an [[Battle of Toprawa|important victory]] at [[Toprawa/Legends|Toprawa]] by capturing a large portion of the [[Death Star plans/Legends|Death Star plans]].<ref name="RD" /> In retaliation, the Imperials [[Destruction of Alderaan|destroyed]] [[Alderaan/Legends|Alderaan]] using the Death Star. However, the Alliance scored a major victory when [[T-65 X-wing starfighter/Legends|X-wing]] pilot Luke Skywalker destroyed the Death Star during the pivotal [[Battle of Yavin/Legends|Battle of Yavin]].<ref name="SWIV" />

Later that [[Standard year/Legends|year]], the Outer Rim was the site of a battle between the Alliance and Imperials. After his [[Battle of Belazura|exile]], rogue Imperial [[Commander/Legends|Commander]] [[Rezi Soresh]] spent twenty-seven days on the run before settling in the [[Sixela system]]. There he established an [[Rezi Soresh's outpost|outpost]] on a [[Unidentified dead red moon|barren moon]]. After capturing the [[Arkanian/Legends|Arkanian]] colony vessel [[Endeavor (Arkanian starship)|''Endeavor'']], Soresh used the people on board as hostages to lure the Rebel [[Pilot/Legends|pilot]] [[Luke Skywalker/Legends|Luke Skywalker]] to the system in order to [[Project Omega|turn him into his personal assassin]]. Skywalker was [[Torture/Legends|tortured]] for two weeks. Soresh also used a brainwashed spy to lure the [[Alliance Fleet]] to the [[Star system/Legends|star system]]. Contacting [[Anakin Skywalker/Legends|Darth Vader]] via [[Hologram/Legends|hologram]], Soresh ensured the [[Sith Lord/Legends|Sith Lord]] would arrive at the same time as the Rebel [[Fleet/Legends|fleet]]. When the opposing fleets arrived, Soresh [[Battle of the Sixela system|sprung his trap]], launching prototype [[resonance torpedo]]es at the system's [[Blue giant/Legends|Blue giant]] [[Star/Legends|star]]. Skywalker betrayed Soresh and freed his [[Heroes of Yavin/Legends|companions]], who participated in the battle until the torpedoes hit the sun and started a chain reaction, forcing the Rebels and Imperials to escape. Soresh was [[Death/Legends|killed]] by [[Han Solo/Legends|Han Solo]] near the end of the battle. The system was turned into dust and [[Radiation/Legends|radiation]] when the sun went [[Supernova/Legends|supernova]].<ref>''[[Rebel Force: Uprising]]''</ref>

In [[0 ABY/Legends|0 ABY]], the Alliance managed to evacuate its base on [[Yavin 4/Legends|Yavin 4]] despite an Imperial blockade. During the [[Evacuation of Yavin|ensuing fighting]], Admiral Ackbar launched a feint attack in the [[Vallusk Cluster]] to draw away Imperial forces. Meanwhile, Rebel [[General/Legends|General]] [[Jan Dodonna/Legends|Jan Dodonna]] was captured and later imprisoned aboard [[Ysanne Isard]]'s [[Executor-class Star Dreadnought/Legends|''Executor''-class Star Dreadnought]] ''[[Lusankya/Legends|Lusankya]]''.<ref name="TEC" /> In [[1 ABY/Legends|1 ABY]], Bakura was annexed by Imperial forces under Governor [[Wilek Nereus]]. Ore from its mineral rich moons would be used in the construction of the [[Death Star II/Legends|second Death Star]] above the [[Endor/Legends|Forest Moon of Endor]] in the [[Moddell sector/Legends|Moddell sector]].<ref name="TTAB" />

In [[2 ABY/Legends|2 ABY]], the Rebel Alliance established a new base known as [[Echo Base/Legends|Echo Base]] on the icy world of [[Hoth/Legends|Hoth]].<ref name="TEC" /> In [[3 ABY/Legends|3 ABY]], Darth Vader's elite [[Death Squadron/Legends|Death Squadron]] including his new flagship [[Executor/Legends|''Executor'']] launched an [[Battle of Hoth/Legends|attack]] on [[Hoth/Legends|Hoth]], forcing the Alliance to retreat. Later, [[Cloud City/Legends|Cloud City]] in the gas giant [[Bespin/Legends|Bespin]] was occupied by the Empire after [[Baron Administrator/Legends|Baron Administrator]] Calrissian defected to the Alliance.<ref name="SWV">{{Film|V}}</ref> Meanwhile, Imperial Admiral Harkov ended the [[Sepan Civil War]].<ref name="SW:TF">''[[Star Wars: TIE Fighter]]''</ref>

In [[4 ABY/Legends|4 ABY]], the Hutt [[Desilijic/Legends|Desilijic]] crime family suffered a severe setback with the death of [[Jabba Desilijic Tiure/Legends|Jabba the Hutt]] on Tatooine at the hands of [[Leia Organa Solo|Princess Leia]]. Later, the Rebel Alliance scored a major victory during the [[Battle of Endor/Legends|Battle of Endor]] with the destruction of the second Death Star and the [[Order of the Sith Lords]] with the deaths of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader. As a result, the Rebel Alliance was reorganized into the [[Alliance of Free Planets]] with [[Endor/Legends|Endor]] as its capital.<ref name="TNEC" />

That same year, the saurian [[Ssi-ruu]]k launched an invasion of [[Bakura/Legends|Bakura]] from the [[Unknown Regions/Legends|Unknown Regions]] but were repelled by the combined efforts of the local Imperial garrison and an Alliance task force under Skywalker.<ref name="TTAB" /> Bakura subsequently joined the Alliance of Free Planets. During the brief [[Nagai–Tof War]], the [[Nagai]] and [[Tof]] invaded Endor and [[Iskalon/Legends|Iskalon]] but were quickly defeated and retreated back into [[Wild Space/Legends|Wild Space]].<ref name="TNEC" /><ref name="TEA" />

===[[New Republic era]]===
When news of the events on [[Endor/Legends|Endor]] reached the galactic public, hundreds of worlds predominantly in the Rimward territories joined the newly formed [[New Republic/Legends|New Republic]]&mdash;the successor to the Alliance of Free Planets. With the deaths of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader at Endor, the Imperial forces throughout the Rim were unable to put up an effective resistance against the New Republic.<ref name="TEC" /> Across the galaxy, the Galactic Empire fragmented into squabbling kingdoms ruled by local Imperial military commanders and [[Moff/Legends|Moffs]] who established themselves as independent [[Warlord/Legends|warlords]]. [[Admiral/Legends|Admiral]] [[Gaen Drommel]] established a dictatorship in the [[Oplovis sector/Legends|Oplovis sector]] while [[Grand Moff/Legends|Grand Moff]] [[Ardus Kaine]] created the [[Pentastar Alignment]] which dominated a large area of the Outer Rim. Meanwhile, Moff [[Tol Getelles|Getelles]] and Admiral [[Zsinj]] consolidated their control on the [[Antemeridian sector|Antemeridian]] and [[Quelii sector]]s respectively.<ref name="TNEC" />

In the wake of Endor, the [[Corporate Sector/Legends|Corporate Sector's]] capitalistic regime attempted to remain neutral and sold products to both the New Republic and the Imperial warlords. The New Republic, however, was too burdened with establishing a new government to sign a long-lasting partnership with the corporate-minded fiefdom&mdash;especially since some in the New Republic considered the [[Corporate Sector Authority/Legends|Corporate Sector Authority]] to be just as bad as the Empire.

By [[7 ABY/Legends|7 ABY]], the New Republic's successes in securing the Outer and Mid Rim territories allowed the Republic to secure several key worlds in the [[Colonies/Legends|Colonies]] and [[Core Worlds/Legends|Core Worlds]] including [[Borleias]] and the galactic capital Coruscant itself. With the defeat of warlord Isard in the [[Bacta War]] which embroiled the [[Inner Rim]], Republic forces were able to turn their attentions to warlord Zsinj's territorial ambitions in the Outer Rim. By now, Zsinj was embroiled in war against both the Republic and rival Imperial factions. During the [[Battle of Ession]], Alliance forces under [[Wedge Antilles/Legends|Wedge Antilles]] scored an important victory against the warlord's forces. During the [[Battle of Selaggis]], however, Zsinj tricked Republic forces under [[Han Solo/Legends|Han Solo]] into believing that his flagship [[Iron Fist (Executor-class)|''Iron Fist'']] had been destroyed.<ref name="TNEC" />

In [[8 ABY/Legends|8 ABY]], Zsinj unleashed his [[orbital nightcloak]] satellites on [[Dathomir/Legends|Dathomir]] in retaliation for the [[Nightsisters/Legends|Nightsisters]]' failure to destroy the [[Singing Mountain Clan]]. However, the warlord was defeated in the succeeding [[Battle of Dathomir (Hunt for Zsinj)|Battle of Dathomir]] by a joined Republic and [[Hapan]] fleet under General Solo. With the acquisition of captured [[Star Destroyer/Legends|Star Destroyers]] supplied by the [[Hapes Consortium/Legends|Hapes Consortium]], New Republic forces under Admiral Ackbar were dispatched to the Outer Rim to finish off the scattered remnants of Zsinj's forces. Unfortunately, midway they were intercepted by Mid Rim warlord [[Treuten Teradoc]] who inflicted heavy casualties on the New Republic fleet, forcing a retreat to the [[Hast Shipyards]]. By the end of the [[Standard year/Legends|standard year]], the Republic controlled three-quarters of the known galaxy including large areas of the Outer Rim. The Outer Rim worlds of Dac, Sullust and Sluis Van became prominent member worlds of the New Republic within the region.<ref name="TNEC" />

However, in [[9 ABY/Legends|9 ABY]], the Republic suffered serious military reverses with the arrival of [[Grand Admiral/Legends|Grand Admiral]] [[Mitth'raw'nuruodo/Legends|Thrawn]]. Having returned from the Unknown Regions, the blue-skinned Chiss commander rallied the scattered Imperial forces and unleashed a [[Thrawn campaign|military campaign]] against the New Republic. During the [[Battle of Sluis Van]], an Imperial victory was narrowly prevented by the last-ditch efforts of Calrissian.<ref name="TNEC" /> On remote [[Wayland]] in the [[Ojoster sector]], Thrawn's forces acquired an operational [[Cloaking device/Legends|cloaking device]], several Clone Wars-era [[Spaarti cloning cylinder]]s and the services of the Dark Jedi [[Cloning/Legends|clone]] [[Joruus C'baoth]]. Utilizing these resources, Thrawn launched several attacks against Republic worlds including the Outer Rim worlds of [[Ord Mantell/Legends|Ord Mantell]] and [[Ukio/Legends|Ukio]]. However, Thrawn's [[Noghri/Legends|Noghri]] commandos turned against him and he was assassinated during the [[Battle of Bilbringi (9 ABY)|Battle of Bilbringi]].<ref name="TNEC" />

[[File:Pinnacle_Base.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The New Republic base on Pinnacle Moon]]
Despite his death, the New Republic had lost a third of its territory to Thrawn's Imperial forces especially in the Rimward territories. The Republic was forced to move its forces further into the Outer Rim away from the strategically important Core Worlds. Taking advantage of this, the [[Transfer essence|resurrected]] Emperor Palpatine launched a [[Operation Shadow Hand|second offensive]] from his stronghold in the [[Deep Core/Legends|Deep Core]] in [[10 ABY/Legends|10 ABY]]. Several key Core Worlds including the capital Coruscant were recaptured and the New Republic was forced to evacuate to [[Da Soocha V]] in the Outer Rim.<ref name="TNEC" />

Shortly afterward, Imperial forces attacked several New Republic worlds in the [[Trans-Hydian|Borderland Regions]] and the shipyard world of Dac with [[World Devastator]]s to punish the native Mon Calamari and Quarren for their resistance to the Empire. Due to the efforts of Skywalker and [[R2-D2/Legends|R2-D2]], the Devastators were defeated.<ref name="DE">''[[Star Wars: Dark Empire]]''</ref> In a [[Battle of Pinnacle Base|second skirmish]] over Pinnacle Moon, Palpatine's flagship [[Eclipse (Eclipse-class)|''Eclipse'']] was destroyed. In retaliation, he [[Destruction of Da Soocha V|destroyed]] Pinnacle Moon itself with a projectile from the [[Galaxy Gun]].<ref name="TNEC" /> The Emperor continued to launch more projectiles, destroying unruly worlds and nearly crippling the New Republic. As a result, the Empire quickly regained key territories in the Outer Rim. However, this victory was short-lived as Palpatine's spirit was finally destroyed during a [[Battle of Onderon (Galactic Civil War)|showdown]] on [[Onderon/Legends|Onderon]]. By [[11 ABY/Legends|11 ABY]], the Galactic Empire had yet again descended into infighting amongst the Warlords and high military officers.<ref name="TEC" />

Still, [[Emperor's Royal Guard/Legends|Imperial Royal Guardsman]] [[Carnor Jax]] and his [[Imperial Ruling Council/Legends#The "Council of Blood"|Interim Council]] controlled a thin band stretching from the Outer Rim to the [[Colonies/Legends|Colonies]]. Amidst the infighting among the Council, [[Xandel Carivus]] established himself as the new [[Galactic Emperor/Legends|Emperor]] on the Outer Rim world of [[Ord Cantrell/Legends|Ord Cantrell]]. Tensions between Carivus and fellow Imperial [[Baron/Legends|Baron]] [[Ragez D'Asta]] culminated in the [[Battle of Ord Cantrell]] where the former was forced to sue for peace.<ref name="CE">''[[Star Wars: Crimson Empire]]''</ref> During this period, several [[Yuuzhan Vong]] advance agents including [[Nom Anor]] were active in stirring up local conflicts.<ref name="TNEC" />

Meanwhile, New Republic attempts in the forms of Han Solo and Chewbacca to establish contact with [[Kessel/Legends|Kessel]] were met with failure. The duo only succeeded in rescuing the [[The Force/Legends|Force]]-sensitive [[Kyp Durron]] from slavery. Fleeing into hyperspace, the former Rebels stumbled upon an isolated Imperial research base known as the [[Maw Installation]]. There, they encountered Admiral [[Natasi Daala]]&mdash;one of the few high-ranking female Imperial military officers and a protégé of the late Grand Moff Tarkin. During an escape attempt, the companions made off with an experimental Imperial [[Superweapon/Legends|superweapon]] the [[Sun Crusher]], capable of destroying entire stars with a projectile. Shortly afterward, New Republic forces launched a successful [[Battle of the Maw|attack]] on the Maw Installation, destroying both the Sun Crusher and the [[Death Star prototype]] and forcing Daala to retreat. Daala's surviving Imperial forces fled to the [[Deep Core/Legends|Deep Core]] and succeeded in unifying the Imperial forces there.<ref name="TNEC" />

As part of his efforts in establishing a [[New Jedi Order]], [[Jedi Master/Legends|Jedi Master]] Skywalker established a [[Jedi Praxeum]] at the former Rebel base on remote Yavin IV. In [[12 ABY/Legends|12 ABY]], Skywalker and Jedi Purge-survivor Callista succeeded in destroying the ''[[Eye of Palpatine]]'' in the [[Moonflower Nebula]]. Later that year, the New Jedi Order successfully fought off two successive attacks by Daala's Imperial fleet and the [[Empire Reborn]].<ref name="TNEC" /> Meanwhile, the [[Hutt/Legends|Hutt]] crime lord [[Durga Besadii Tai]] attempted to construct a down-scaled version [[Superweapon/Legends|superweapon]] known as the [[Darksaber (superweapon)|''Darksaber'']] in the [[Hoth asteroid field]] with the assistance of former Imperial weapons designer [[Bevel Lemelisk]]. A New Republic task force including [[General/Legends|General]] [[Crix Madine/Legends|Madine]] and Admiral Ackbar succeeded in destroying the ''Darksaber'' by driving it into the asteroid field. In the ensuing conflict, Madine was executed by Durga.<ref name="Darksaber">[[Darksaber (novel)|''Darksaber'']]</ref>

Following Daala's defeat at Yavin IV, Daala retired and was succeeded as [[Supreme Commander (Empire)/Legends|Supreme Commander]] by Admiral [[Gilad Pellaeon/Legends|Pellaeon]] &mdash;Thrawn's second-in-command. Under Pellaeon, the [[Imperial Remnant]] began harassing Republic shipping in the Outer Rim and consolidated Imperial control over that region and the neighboring Mid Rim and Wild Space. The Imperial Remnant also annexed Kaine's Pentastar Alignment.<ref name="TNEC" />

In [[13 ABY/Legends|13 ABY]], conflict broke out on [[Nam Chorios/Legends|Nam Chorios]] between the "[[Oldtimer]]s" and the more recent group "[[Newcomer]]s." During a diplomatic mission to Chorios, [[Chief of State (New Republic)|Chief of State]] Leia Organa Solo was kidnapped by former Republic senator [[Seti Ashgad/Legends|Seti Ashgad]]. Ashgad planned to unleash a deadly infection of [[droch]]s throughout the [[Meridian sector/Legends|Meridian sector]] called the Death Seed plague as part of a deal with Moff Getelles and the [[Loronar Corporation/Legends|Loronar Corporation]]. However, their efforts were thwarted by the combined efforts of the Skywalkers, Solo, Calrissian and Daala.<ref name="TEC" /> Later, Skywalker was able to negotiate and establish contact with the native crystalline [[Tsil]]s who agreed to help eliminate the drochs within the sector. Meanwhile, the New Republic dispatched two full fleets and invaded the Antemeridian sector. Getelles proved unable to stop them and the sector, along with much of neighboring space was captured by the Republic before Pellaeon halted their advance.<ref name="TEC" />

In [[14 ABY/Legends|14 ABY]], Chief of State Organa Solo embarked on a diplomatic tour of several Rimward worlds with her three children [[Jaina Solo Fel|Jaina]], [[Darth Caedus|Jacen]] and [[Anakin Solo]]. At [[Munto Codru/Legends|Munto Codru]], the children were kidnapped by agents of the Empire Reborn. Their leader [[Dark Jedi/Legends|Dark Jedi]] [[Hethrir]] attempted to indoctrinate the Solo children and planned to sacrifice Anakin to the demonic [[Waru]] at [[Crseih Station]]. However, the Empire Reborn was defeated during a [[Confrontation on Crseih Station|confrontation]] and the Crseih system was destroyed in the resulting supernova.<ref name="The Crystal Star" />

With the defeat of the Empire Reborn, the Republic freed and repatriated many of Hethrir's former slaves including the kidnapped children on the [[Worldcraft]] ''[[Rebirth]]'' and the imprisoned passengers aboard Hethrir's [[passenger freighter]]s.<ref name="The Crystal Star" /> At an unknown period prior to [[17 ABY/Legends|17 ABY]], former Jedi cadet [[Kueller|Dolph]] overthrew the tyrannical [[Je'har]] regime on his homeworld of [[Almania/Legends|Almania]]. Having turned to the [[Dark side of the Force/Legends|dark side]] he adopted the pseudonym Kueller and established a military junta which attempted to overthrow the Republic in 17 ABY.<ref name="TEC" /> He used rigged bombs to exterminate the populations of [[Pydyr]] and [[Auyemesh]] and then attempted to overthrow the New Republic through a mixture of subversion and terrorist attacks. After the defeat of Kueller, Alania came under the control of his chief lieutenant, [[Yanne]], who opened diplomatic talks with the New Republic. However, Yanne was soon overthrown by [[Gant]], who in turn was overthrown by an unstable military junta. As a result Almania remained impoverished and was never able to join the New Republic.<ref name="TEC" />

As of [[22 ABY/Legends|22 ABY]], [[Trade language/Legends|trade languages]] were common in the Outer Rim.<ref name="The Crystal Star" />

===New Jedi Order===
[[File:RetreatAtDantooine.jpg|thumb|right|240px|Dantooine was one of the many Outer Rim worlds smashed by the Yuuzhan Vong.]]
In [[25 ABY/Legends|25 ABY]], much of the Outer Rim was devastated by the [[Yuuzhan Vong War|Yuuzhan Vong invasion]]. However, [[Cloaker|undercover]] [[Yuuzhan Vong]] operatives had already infiltrated various Outer Rim worlds since the [[Clone Wars/Legends|Clone Wars]]<ref name="TNEC" /> including [[Belkadan/Legends|Belkadan]], [[Artorias]] and [[Helska IV]]; the latter becoming a base for the advanced invasion force known as the [[Praetorite Vong]]. The Yuuzhan Vong began their attack at [[Vector Prime]] in the northern quadrant. Following events in the Expansion Region, the Yuuzhan Vong [[Warmaster]] [[Shedao Shai]] authorized the use of the [[Yo'gand's Core]] tactic on [[Sernpidal/Legends|Sernpidal]], destroying the world and killing millions.<ref name="Vector Prime">''[[Vector Prime]]''</ref>

After attrition warfighting, the New Republic destroyed the Praetorite Vong base on Helska IV which hampered the Yuuzhan Vong war effort by two months. However, the Coruscant government underestimated the Yuuzhan Vong and was reluctant to commit resources to the Outer Rim. In a swift blitzkrieg, the invaders seized a string of worlds including [[Dubrillion/Legends|Dubrillion]], [[Destrillion]], Dantooine,<ref name="DTII">''[[The New Jedi Order: Dark Tide II: Ruin]]''</ref> Artorias, [[Rychel]], [[New Holgha]] and [[Garqi/Legends|Garqi]]. Billions of sentients were displaced resulting in a massive refugee problem.<ref name="TNEC" />

Having seized the north-eastern quadrant of the Outer Rim and severed the [[Hydian Way/Legends|Hydian Way]] and the [[Perlemian Trade Route/Legends|Perlemian Trade Route]], the newly formed [[Yuuzhan Vong empire]] then proceeded into the Mid Rim and Expansion Region as part of their campaign to seize the strategically valuable Core region. In [[26 ABY]], the Yuuzhan Vong invaded [[Hutt Space/Legends|Hutt Space]] but failed to penetrate the well-defended ''[[Bootana Hutta]]'' enclave.<ref name="TEA" /> As part of their campaign against the Jedi, the Vong and the collaborationist [[Peace Brigade]] destroyed the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin IV where they established a [[damutek]] colony. This colony became the birthplace of the [[Jeedai heresy]] which drew a substantial following among the lowly [[Worker caste]] and [[Shamed Ones]].<ref name="EOVIC">''[[The New Jedi Order: Edge of Victory I: Conquest]]''</ref>

During a [[Mission to Myrkr|mission]] above [[Myrkr/Legends|Myrkr]] in [[27 ABY/Legends|27 ABY]], the Jedi sustained heavy casualties including the death of [[Anakin Solo]].<ref name="SBS">''[[The New Jedi Order: Star by Star]]''</ref> With the loss of Coruscant that year, the New Republic relocated to the strategically important Outer Rim world of Dac which retained its importance as a military shipyard. The new [[Chief of State (Galactic Alliance)|Chief of State]] [[Cal Omas]] had the New Republic reformed as the [[Galactic Federation of Free Alliances]] which increased the power of the judiciary over the Senate. In [[28 ABY/Legends|28 ABY]], the Galactic Alliance recaptured [[Ylesia/Legends|Ylesia]] from the Peace Brigade but their successes were dampened by Yuuzhan Vong victories in [[Barab I/Legends|Barab I]], [[Rutan/Legends|Rutan]] and [[Belderone/Legends|Belderone]].<ref name="TNEC" /> Following an attack on [[Yaga Minor/Legends|Yaga Minor]] and [[Muunilinst/Legends|Muunilinst]],<ref name="FHI:R">''[[The New Jedi Order: Force Heretic I: Remnant]]''</ref> the [[Imperial Remnant]] entered the war on the side of the Republic, protecting its holdings on [[Bastion/Legends|Bastion]] and nearby worlds.<ref name="FHI:R" />

Meanwhile, the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium attempted a [[Battle of Bakura (28 ABY)|second invasion]] of Bakura with the support of the treacherous [[Prime Minister (Bakura)|Bakuran Prime Minister]] [[Molierre Cundertol]] but were repulsed by the Bakurans, the Galactic Alliance and the [[P'w'eck Emancipation Movement]].<ref name="FHII:R">''[[The New Jedi Order: Force Heretic II: Refugee]]''</ref> The southern quadrant was not attacked while the Yuuzhan Vong limited their campaign in the [[Tion Cluster/Legends|Tion Cluster]] to seizing several fringe worlds including [[Caluula/Legends|Caluula]].<ref name="Xim Week" />

In [[29 ABY/Legends|29 ABY]], the Yuuzhan Vong launched an [[Defense of Mon Calamari (Yuuzhan Vong War)|ill-fated final offensive]] against Dac which the Alliance took advantage of to launch a counter-attack on Coruscant, recapturing it after [[Battle of Yuuzhan'tar|prolonged fighting]]. The Alliance unleashed the [[Alpha Red]] bioweapon on Caluula which eliminated the Yuuzhan Vong garrison but then mutated and destroyed the planet's biosphere.<ref name="TUF">''[[The New Jedi Order: The Unifying Force]]''</ref> With the end of the war, the Outer Rim returned to the control of the [[Galactic Federation of Free Alliances|Galactic Alliance]] while the Hutts reasserted control over their region of space. However, little central government existed in the region while the slave-trading [[Senex sector/Legends|Senex]] and [[Juvex sector/Legends|Juvex sectors]] encouraged the immigration of refugees.<ref name="TEA" />

===Legacy era===
[[File:Battle_Mon_Calamari_137_ABY.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The planet Dac and its shipyards during the Second Imperial Civil War]]
About a decade after the calamity of the Yuuzhan Vong War, the Outer Rim was the site of battlegrounds for the [[Second Galactic Civil War]], on planets such as [[Battle of Ossus (Second Galactic Civil War)|Ossus]]; however, it did not play a very important role in that conflict. In [[43 ABY|43.5 ABY]], when the exiled [[Luke Skywalker/Legends|Luke Skywalker]] and his [[Ben Skywalker|son]] traveled away from Coruscant, they found a [[Lost Tribe of Sith|lost Sith order]] in the Outer Rim as well as a huge being of [[Dark side of the Force/Legends|dark-side]] energy by the name of [[Abeloth]] in the [[The Maw|Maw Cluster]].

In [[127 ABY]], [[Darth Krayt]]'s resurgent [[One Sith]] order collaborated with the Yuuzhan Vong pariah [[Zenoc Quah]] to sabotage the [[Ossus Project]]&mdash;a joint initiative by the Jedi and the Yuuzhan Vong to terraform several devastated worlds as a peaceful gesture. This action stirred anti-Vong sentiment which the [[Fel Empire]]&mdash;the successor state to the Imperial Remnant&mdash;took advantage of to invoke war on the Alliance. By [[130 ABY]], the Alliance had capitulated and the Imperials seized Coruscant. However, Krayt toppled the ruling [[Roan Fel]] and re-established the Empire as his own [[Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire|Sith Empire]].

The [[Jedi Academy (Ossus)|Jedi Academy]] on Ossus was a battleground of the [[Third Jedi Purge]]. Purge survivor [[Cade Skywalker]], a member of the legendary [[Skywalker family/Legends|Skywalker family]], traveled through the Outer Rim in order to redeem himself. Various Rim worlds like [[Socorro/Legends|Socorro]], [[Daluuj/Legends|Daluuj]], [[Borosk/Legends|Borosk]], [[Iego/Legends|Iego]], Munto Codru and Wayland were the sites of skirmishes between the One Sith and their Jedi, Fel-loyalist and Alliance opponents. In [[137 ABY]], Roan Fel's forces recaptured Bastion and secured the surrounding space. A joint Alliance and Imperial force [[Battle of Mon Calamari (Second Imperial Civil War)|raided]] the Sith stronghold of Dac; damaging the [[Mon Calamari Shipyards/Legends|Mon Calamari Shipyards]] and capturing the [[Imperious-class Star Destroyer|Advanced Star Destroyer]] [[Alliance (Imperious-class)|''Imperious'']].

The Sith retaliated with a [[Genocide on Dac|genocide]] targeting the Mon Calamari species. After several setbacks, [[Darth Wyyrlok (III)|Darth Wyyrlok]] initiated the [[Final Protocol]] which authorized the poisoning of Dac's oceans with toxins crafted by Sith scientist [[Vul Isen]]. The toxins killed all life within the ocean world within days, prompting the Alliance and Imperials to pool their resources into organizing a mass [[Evacuation of Dac|evacuation]]. They succeed in evacuating 20% of the planet's population including billions of Mon Calamari, Quarren, [[Whaladon/Legends|Whaladons]] and [[Moappa]] but Dac was rendered uninhabitable.

Piracy was rife in the [[Arkanis sector/Legends|Arkanis sector]] which became the site of a Sith [[Attack on the Galactic Alliance Core Fleet|ambush]] against Admiral [[Gar Stazi]]'s Alliance forces. [[Black Sun/Legends|Black Sun's]] operations in the region particularly Tatooine was also smashed by the efforts of Cade and [[Gunn Yage]]. During [[Operation: Thunderstroke]], Sith forces attempted to ambush and capture Roan Fel at Agamar but only succeeded in capturing his daughter [[Marasiah Fel]]. Later, the Sith's [[Devastation of Da Soocha|poisoning]] of [[Da Soocha]] and the destruction of the [[Hutt Temple]] [[Maya Armus]] on [[Napdu]] prompted the Hutts into entering the conflict against the Sith on the side of the Alliance and Imperials.

==Government==
Due to its distance from the [[Core Worlds/Legends|Core Worlds]], the influence of any galactic region was profoundly limited throughout the Outer Rim. As a consequence, communications and law enforcement in the region were limited and the various institutions of galactic civilization were little more than concepts.<ref name="TEA" /> Various crime and atrocities went unnoticed particularly in [[Hutt Space/Legends|Hutt Space]], the Juvex and Senex sectors, and the [[Kanz sector]] during the [[Kanz Disorders/Legends|Kanz Disorders]]. Throughout the history of the [[Galactic Republic/Legends|Galactic Republic]], central control was limited and much of this was lost during the [[New Sith Wars]].<ref name="TEA" />

The Republic never regained full control over the region which was further affected by the disestablishment of the [[Republic Military/Legends|Republic Military]] under the Ruusan Reformations. The ensuing power vacuum was gradually occupied by the [[Hutt/Legends|Hutts]] and conglomerates like the [[Trade Federation of Planets|Trade Federation]] and [[Commerce Guild/Legends|Commerce Guild]]. Political representation of many Outer Rim worlds in the [[Galactic Senate/Legends|Galactic Senate]] was bought up by the latter while many disillusioned worlds joined the [[Confederacy of Independent Systems/Legends|Confederacy of Independent Systems]].<ref name="TEA" />

The [[Clone Wars/Legends|Clone Wars]] provided the opportunity for the Republic and its successor state the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire]] to re-establish central albeit militarized control over the region. Throughout the [[Galactic Civil War/Legends|Galactic Civil War]], central government faltered at alternating intervals due to the fighting between Imperial forces and the [[New Republic/Legends|New Republic]]. What little remained collapsed during the devastating [[Yuuzhan Vong War]] and efforts to re-establish it was hampered by the [[Second Galactic Civil War]]. Thus, much of the region was left to its own devices.<ref name="TEA" />

==Behind the scenes==
In the first and second drafts of the ''Star Wars'' script, the Outer Rim was called the Outlands, and stretched from "the celestial equator to the farthest reaches of the [[Great Rift]]." It was the center of resistance to the Empire.
