Colonies

The Colonies, also known as the Colonies Regions is a circled region of the Universe between the Core Worlds and the Inner Rim Territories. 
=History=
The planets of the Colonies were among the first areas outside the Core Worlds and Outer Core to be colonized, some before the establishment of the Universal Republic, and a thousand worlds in the Colonies were founding members. The worlds here are typically heavily populated, industrialized, and has cultures as well established as the Core Worlds. Most worlds in the Colonies section of "the Slice" were colonized by 24,000 B. 
Under Emperor Palpatine's reign, the Galactic Empire is very forceful in controlling the Colonies, and the Rebel Alliance held many supporters in the region as a result. 
The planets in the Colonies are extremely wealthy and highly developed, and can be referred to as export powerhouses. Many produce vast amounts of raw materials, particularly food and metals for the production of robots, starships, and military vehicles. Mining operations will often leave entire planets ravaged and bare.
