Rise of the Frontier
Between the 2230s and 2260s, the Far Frontier witnessed a mass influx of immigrants and pioneers. This population boom made the development of large-scale industries in the region more viable, and in 2244 the Converge Corporation became the first megacorp to establish a regional office beyond the 4th Drake Line. Within a year, over a dozen megacorps were operating in the region, mainly exploiting the platinum and gold fields scattered throughout the Dakuwaqa Deeps.
This sudden wave of investment into the Far Frontier accelerated the growth of interstellar infrastructure, while corporate pressures forced the local authorities to adopt a veneer of legitimacy. Warlords, gangsters, pirate confederacies, and other illicit actors—began to entrench themselves as de facto rulers. With corporate backing, their power was solidified, and networks gradually transformed into legitimate governing bodies. The success of this evolution was especially apparent in 2247 when a provisional government declared Reunion a Colonial Administration, marking a significant and unexpected reinvention for what had once been the most violent pirate haven in the Orion Arm.
As the outer boundary of the Far Frontier grew more distant, many of the region’s most notorious piracy groups, rebel forces and guerrilla armies moved elsewhere, staying well ahead of the advance of civilization. Those that remained transitioned from operating on the fringes of society to becoming formalized security forces and mercenary companies. By the start of the 2250s, the protracted Frontier Wars between the Old Colonies increasingly mirrored inter-state conflicts, but their ferocity was starting to diminish. Competition and violence between the Old Colonies briefly peaked in 2253, but the occupation of Ash Point the next year was widely recognized as the last major event of the Frontier Wars.
