The Inner Rim Territories of the Far Galaxy

The Inner Rim Territories are the section of the galaxy that borders both the Core Worlds and the sparsely populated Mid Rim. During much of the Old Republic's early millennia, it was considered the furthest reaches of civilized expansion and simply called as "The Rim." However, as hyperspace explorers began venturing beyond this area, it was renamed the Inner Rim.

The Inner Rim, Mid Rim and Outer Rim make up what is collectively known as the Rim Territories.

The Expansion Region

When the Empire established the the modern Expansion Region in the heart of the Inner Rim Territories and Imperial interests began taking vast amounts of resources from the Inner Rim worlds, many of its inhabitants left for the Outer Rim. When this happened, the Expansion Region became a part of the Mid Rim.
