These are the core planets, Alliance controlled worlds that are pretty much made up of American and European influences and the such. Located in the most inner part of the 'Verse, these planets are under the constant eye of the Alliance. You best be careful on these planets if you're planning on doin' crime. Yah gotta also make sure you watch who y'er callin' a purple belly, the feds are thick on ground as well as in the Black. Ever come across an Alliance Cruiser? Well, y'er guaranteed to do so here.

The Border Worlds are mainly self governed. For the most part the Alliance leases officers and peace keepers to these planets to oversee the everyday crime dealings. The Border planets, for the most part, are mainly self contained with a moderate presence of Alliance control. The planets are far less 'poor' than those of the Outer Rim. Smuggling and illegal activities are as rampant as are in the frontier worlds.
