Borderland Regions

The Borderland Regions was a term used to describe the area of space that separated the territories of the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant during the latter part of the Galactic Civil War.

History

This region was a militarized zone incorporating, among others, the Listehol Run, the Abregado, Breago and Obroa systems, Elom, Jendorn, and Hettsk. Though not an official region or sector of the galaxy, the Borderland Regions comprised remaining Civil War battle zones. It was the site of the Borderland campaign.

In 10 ABY, prior to the Battle of Mon Calamari during Operation Shadow Hand, the New Republic received word that fringe worlds in these regions had been attacked by monstrous vehicles called "city-smashers" by the survivors. Planet surfaces had been burned away, and it was later revealed that this had been nothing more than a test of the Empire's new superweapons, the World Devastators.
