The Outer Rim Wars

"Our greatest mistake? Militarization. Period."

- Vice Admiral Muyaris, 422 ABY

The Outer Rim Wars (Formally distinguished as the Lower Belt Conflicts, however many informal names exist among various Outer Rim Governments) was a series of high-intensity conflicts that took place along the lower end of the Corellian Run between the Limited Christophsis Armed Coalition and the Molavar Treaty. While the war was fought in multiple theaters, it is widely accepted by Outer Rim Historians that most major fighting ceased in 425 ABY when the Rodian Armistice Agreement was signed.

Background
While most "lower belt" militant forces had succeeded in filling the vacuum of power left by the collapse of the Hutt-funded financial institutions, racial tensions and economic instability had already taken their toll on what would soon become the "Outer Rim Co-prosperity Powers". During this time, the major leaders in the galactic council had issued a "Corellian Run Security Plan" in 395 ABY to restore local governments that had previously been dissolved as per wartime imperial injunction. While such Security Plans were successful in rebuilding stable democratic institutions, many Outer Rim Powers were still embittered by local rivalries, and had subsequently drawn borders along the Corellian Run, absorbing smaller planetary powers as a result.
