Greater Core

The Greater Core, or simply the Core, was a colloquial term used to designate the most coreward regions of the galaxy, including the Core Worlds, the Colonies and the Inner Rim. The concept of Greater Core was commonly used in opposition to the Rim, another colloquial term, somehow pejorative, that designated the galaxy beyond the Greater Core, namely the Expansion Region and the Mid Rim, the Outer Rim.. Although the distinction between the Core and the Rim had never been formally recognized, it had large cultural and political implications throughout galactic history.
