Description


The Periphery is also referred to as Guide to the Periphery. It was updated in The Periphery, 2nd Edition, published in 1996.

From the back cover

“ For centuries, the powers of the Inner Sphere have looked down on their brethren in the Periphery with thinly-veiled disgust. 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, lawlessness 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.

Notes

The in-character period of the report that makes up this title appears to be around the year 3025, based on the statement by Precentor Alisha Nevine, the Periphery Project Editor for the ComStar Archives and apparent compiler of the report, that it was the "Sixth in the series of ComStar source books dealing with the cultures of the Human Sphere..." The assumption is that this series refers to the five Housebooks, with the fifth released being House Liao, itself with a (presumed) release date of 3025.
