The Border Worlds
...are an Imperially-aligned buffer state created from half of the beaten Sword Worlds Confederation at the end of the Fifth Frontier War to limit the threat from a united Sword Worlds government. They are a largely captive gov't and would gladly re-form with the SWC if Norris would let them. Details may be found in THE SPINWARD MARCHES CAMPAIGN. metlay (TML historian)
