Synopsis
The Star Systems on the outskirts of the Inner Sphere make up the area known as The Periphery. Extending far into interstellar space, it is fragmented into countless kingdoms and alliances. Small, mean, weak, and unorganized they may yet tip the balance of power among the Successor States.
Yet the Periphery holds more than its share of surprises, as its history and cultures have developed very differently from what might be expected...
This ComStar report highlights the larger and more important states in the Periphery, detailing their histories, rulers, and economies, backgrounds, and current military forces.

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, lawlessnaess 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.ComStar continues its series of sourcebooks detailing human space with a look at the Periphery in all its facets, good and ill. Learn the history of the various nations beyond the Inner Sphere, including the Rim Worlds Republic, home to the treacherous Amaris clan. See how life differs out in the wilds, where every danger is balanced by the freedom to live unfettered by the petty oppressions of the Successor States. Seller Inventory # 2148375940
