The Outer Rim

Ever dreamed of running your own operation out in the wild, lawless corners of the Star Wars galaxy? The Outer Rim lets you do just that. This free Windows game drops you into the role of an ambitious prospector, building a mining empire from the ground up on some of the universe's most unforgiving planets.

Forget peaceful farming; this is about survival and strategy. You'll scavenge resources, set up factories, and design your own custom ion pole stations, all while defending your claim. The toolkit is pure Star Wars: you'll arm yourself with an arsenal of blasters and even lightsabers to handle the local wildlife and rival miners. The real challenge is the environment itself each planet throws extreme conditions at you, forcing you to think creatively to adapt and thrive.

What really makes The Outer Rim stand out is how it connects to the wider Star Wars stories we love. It's built to integrate with major game sagas like Jedi Knight: The Phantom Pain, Jedi Guardian, and Star Wars: The Old Republic. This means your actions and your character which you can create from a host of classic Star Wars races can feel like part of a bigger adventure, touching on events from different episodes. Best of all, it's designed to run smoothly on most standard Windows PCs, so just about anyone can jump in and start their journey into the far reaches of space.
