THE OUTER RIM TERRITORIES
The Outer Rim is a place of political brinkmanship. At the turn of the century, the Three World Empire and the many nations that would become the UPP claimed the star systems nearest to Earth. The American nations instead looked beyond the Outer Veil to conquer new rich and fertile territories. Many of the worlds American explorers discovered on the Outer Rim were capable of supporting life without the use of Atmospheric Processors, making colonization swift and comparatively inexpensive. The American colonies joined together and the United Americas were formed. Fearing American expansion, the fledgling UPP poured its resources into exploring and claiming a large section of the Outer Rim as well—in the process over-extending themselves and crippling their economy. While the 3WE has made its own limited push into the Outer Rim, it relies solely on Weyland-Yutani to handle such expansion efforts. While civilized to some degree, the Outer Rim Territories of today are both bountiful and full of conflict. Home to many military installations, the Outer Rim is where modern man fights his wars and faces the unknown.
