The Outer Colonies were planets controlled by the Terran Confederacy. Despite a similar naming, they were a separate group of planets from the Fringe Worlds,^[1] but overlapped astrogeographically. For instance, Mar Sara was both a Fringe World and Outer Colony.^[2]

By 2478, revolts were common among the Outer Colonies and were steadily growing in number.^[1] By 2499, there is evidence that the Confederacy sought to discourage settlement of the Outer Colonies.^[2]
