The South

The South is a region in human space. It is located to the east of the Rim and Outer Rim, and below the Dirt Belt.
== Overview ==
The South is a collection of systems in the southern regions of human space. Like the nearby Rim, the South is usually not defended properly by the Republic Navy and is often the target of pirate attacks, with several worlds in the South serving as their bases of operations. In an attempt to combat the pirate threat, several worlds in the Rim and the western half of the South formed the Southern Mutual Defense Pact, which would later become the Free Worlds.
Humans are not the only species to colonize the South; the easternmost region is controlled by the Quarg, a powerful and ancient alien race that humans made contact with centuries ago.
