The Colonies, also known as the Colonies Regions, was the name given to a region of the galaxy between the Core Worlds and the Inner Rim Territories.

[edit] History

The planets of the Colonies were among the first areas outside the Core to be colonized, some before the establishment of the Galactic Republic, and many worlds in the Colonies were founding members. The worlds here are typically heavily populated, industrialized, and had cultures as well established as the Core Worlds. Most worlds in the Colonies section of "the Slice" were colonized by 24,000 BBY.

During Emperor Palpatine's reign, the Galactic Empire was very forceful in controlling the Colonies, and as a result the New Republic gained support quickly there.

The planets in the Colonies were extremely wealthy and highly developed, and could be referred to as export powerhouses. Many produced vast amounts of raw materials, particularly food and metals for the production of droids, starships, and military vehicles. Mining operations would often leave entire planets ravaged and bare.
