While they've managed to hold their own, they have routinely been the subject of the realities of life in the Periphery and the realities of being such a small state sitting next to two of the most openly imperialistic powers in the game, only saved at the moment by Clan Snow Raven asking if they could join up.		* '''[[Outworlds Alliance\|Outworlds Alliance/Raven Alliance]]''' - A bunch of hippies and pacifists who border the Draconis Combine.

	* '''Rim Worlds Republic''' - The place where Stefan Amaris was from. Formerly the largest state in the Periphery at over 200+ worlds, it was utterly crushed in the Amaris Civil War, and most of it's assets absorbed into the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] if it wasn't just left to rot.		* '''Rim Worlds Republic''' - The place where Stefan Amaris was from.

	** '''The Barrens''' - a collection of micro-states . It was originally occupied by Clans Jade Falcon and Hell’s Horses before they both withdrew into the Inner Sphere to concentrate their power. Left to fend for themselves, the majority of the planets adopted hybrid Clan customs and societal structures while negotiating protection agreements with their former Clan rulers.		** '''The Barrens''' - a collection of micro-states .

Left to fend for themselves, the majority of the planets adopted hybrid Clan customs and societal structures while negotiating protection agreements with their former Clan rulers. Those that didn’t reverted to their pirate kingdom roots.
	*** '''Barony of Strang''' - A single-world remnant of the Rim Worlds Republic claimed by the descendants of Gunthar von Strang, a colonel and infamous war criminal. They survived the Republic's fall and sustained themselves throughout the Succession Wars thanks to their planet's diamond mines. Fearing an invasion from the Inner Sphere, they turned Von Strang's World into a mighty fortress... which didn't help them much when the Jade Falcons invaded. Outraged by their hated enemies' descendants, the von Strangs fought to the bitter end. After their defeat and conquest, the Clans' influence led to the Barony reforming itself in their image, with their own castes and breeding programs.		*** '''Barony of Strang''' - A single-world remnant of the Rim Worlds Republic claimed by the descendants of Gunthar von Strang, a colonel and infamous war criminal.

Born from the Oberon pirate fleet, it exists at the very edge of the HPG network, and as a result is very mysterious; both because very few (rightfully) trust them and because they're rarely actually seen being seriously affected by life outside the Periphery, even getting invaded by Clans didn't actually change much.		*** '''Oberon Confederation''' - The Bandit kingdom that fancies itself as a real boy state.

	* '''Marian Hegemony''' - Some rich asshole struck it even more rich by finding a massive deposit of germanium (which is a vital ingredient for KF Drives used for space travel), and it has only spiraled further from there.

	* '''Fronc Reaches''' - A state made by Taurian and Capellan settlers that were at one point mutually peacekeep'd by both states, but ultimately found themselves becoming more distant over time, especially given the state of their taxation, and took the Magistrix and the Protector of the Realm hostage to show they were serious once. Many people were killed in the ensuing brawl, and when that was sorted, they sued to statehood, getting it from the Inner Sphere and other powers closer to it. While exceedingly small, the Jihad swelled it's population thanks to refugees flooding in, and the Colonial Marshals, previously the major force of law and order for both Canopus and Taurian interests that defected, have been x-factors in keeping the Canopians and Taurians from trying to assert themselves ever again.		* '''Fronc Reaches''' - A state made by Taurian and Capellan settlers that were at one point mutually peacekeep'd by both states, but ultimately found themselves becoming more distant over time, especially given the state of their taxation, and took the Magistrix and the Protector of the Realm hostage to show they were serious once.

	* '''Circinus Federation''' - The most successful of the Bandit Kingdoms, founded by a combination of pirate gangs, a group of mercenaries that had a huge hatred for the Mariks that declared them outlaws and a bunch of hapless Lyran farmers. They were ambitious and wanted to build an empire, but failed several times. In the end, they chose the wrong side during the Jihad by siding with the Blakists and were utterly obliterated in the aftermath, with Circinus itself suffering a nuclear [[Exterminatus]] that glassed the planet and killed everyone in it, including the Master himself.		* '''Circinus Federation''' - The most successful of the Bandit Kingdoms, founded by a combination of pirate gangs, a group of mercenaries that had a huge hatred for the Mariks that declared them outlaws and a bunch of hapless Lyran farmers.

	* '''Aurigan Coalition''' - The nation created for the HBS BattleTech video game. Created by the independent planets as a defensive buffer between the Canopians, Capellans, and Taurians, it’s a mercantile state that rarely if ever got much notice, only becoming noteworthy when a coup and a massive civil war broke out across their worlds for three years, culminating in a Giancarlo Esposito lookalike getting the axe by Taurian hands for war crimes and the crown princess becoming the new ruler.		* '''Aurigan Coalition''' - The nation created for the HBS BattleTech video game.

	* '''Fronc Reaches''' - A state made by Taurian and Capellan settlers that were at one point mutually peacekeep'd by both states, but ultimately found themselves becoming more distant over time, especially given the state of their taxation, and took the Magistrix and the Protector of the Realm hostage to show they were serious once. Many people were killed in the ensuing brawl, and when that was sorted, they sued to statehood, getting it from the Inner Sphere and other powers closer to it. While exceedingly small, the Jihad swelled it's population thanks to refugees flooding in, and the Colonial Marshals, previously the major force of law and order for both Canopus and Taurian interests that defected, have been x-factors in keeping the Canopians and Taurians from trying to assert themselves ever again.		* '''Fronc Reaches''' - A state made by Taurian and Capellan settlers that were at one point mutually peacekeep'd by both states, but ultimately found themselves becoming more distant over time, especially given the state of their taxation, and took the Magistrix and the Protector of the Realm hostage to show they were serious once.

	* '''Oberon Confederation''' - The Bandit kingdom that fancies itself as a real boy state. Born from the Oberon pirate fleet, it exists at the very edge of the HPG network, and as a result is very mysterious; both because very few (rightfully) trust them and because they're rarely actually seen being seriously affected by life outside the Periphery, even getting invaded by Clans didn't actually change much.		* '''Oberon Confederation''' - The Bandit kingdom that fancies itself as a real boy state.
