  • Fringe World inhabitants are generally poorly educated and isolationist terrans; they were often used as sources of cheap labor by the Terran Confederacy. Many of them follow old Earth religions or new cults (such as the Church of Besainted Pelagius) as a way to escape their dreary existences, and are looked down upon by other terrans particularly from the core worlds, even those from Umoja and the Sons of Korhal. Fringe Worlds are often rich with resources, but rarely get a chance to profit from them, as more established political entities like the Confederacy (later Dominion) thoroughly exploit such resources and leave the local populations with little for themselves.

Fringe World inhabitants are generally looked down upon by those outside the belt, often insulted with the term "Fringe-squib." Even those with ties to the Confederacy were not exempt from derogatory comments, Edmund Duke referring to the Colonial Magistrate of Mar Sara as a "Fringe-world yokel" who didn't know where his loyalties lay. Crime is commonplace in the Fringe Worlds, and they are constantly plagued by groups such as junker gangs.
