Line 26: '''''The Periphery''''' recounts the expansion of humanity across the galaxy through the lens of independents and non-conformists—rebels, [[pirates]], and those excommunicated due to various wars and conflicts. Over time, these people ultimately settled in what is now known as the [[Periphery]], or the area outside of the [[Inner Sphere]] bordering the [[Great Houses]]. The sourcebook examines an array of cultures and social systems spanning hundreds of light years apart, showing both positive and negative growth among nations of all sizes. From single-planet pirate havens to multi-system [[bandit kingdom]]s and empires stretching hundreds of worlds, the history of the Periphery is inexorably linked to the history of civilization as a whole, and as such is deserving of its own volume, told in greater detail than previously provided.
