In Pressure Point Servalan, watching Arle and Berg on her monitor screen, described them as Outsiders.
Arle and Berg
Name given by early pioneers to the empty region of space beyond Kalkos. There were no stars there, at least not for the distance Liberator could travel in 159 years flight under modular time shift. It was also known as the Big Zero.
Various references were made to the Outer Planets and the Outer Worlds: they are here treated together under the same heading.
In The Way Back Blake believed his brother and sister were living on one of the Outer Planets, and Bran Foster later told Blake of former dissidents being taken to the Outer Planets. He also referred to settlers in the Outer Worlds demanding greater autonomy. Varon told Blake that Dev Tarrant usually worked in the Outer Worlds.
In Seek-Locate-Destroy Bercol and Rontane referred to the "Controllers of the Outer Planets" being openly critical of the Administration's defence system. This suggests that the Outer Planets were annexed to the Federation but not fully integrated into it. Galaxy Class cruisers were of Outer Planets manufacture, although production had ceased some 50 years prior to Blake's encounter with the Ortega.
Servalan called Sarran "a remote outer planet". The President of the Federation was, amongst other things, Lord of the Inner and Outer Worlds, as related by Tarrant in Rumours of Death. The Ultra noted that after deserting, Tarrant ran contraband in the Outer Planets.
The Outer Worlds and Outer Planets may thus be synonymous, each referring to a frontier region under some degree of Federation control.
An essential component of the teleport system on Liberator, damaged when the force wall collapsed and thus presumably located on the exterior of the hull.

People on Earth who lived outside the domed city (or cities, if there was
more than one such). Blake recognised many of the people at Foster's meeting
as Outsiders by the primitive way they were dressed and commented that it was
illegal to have contact with them. In Pressure Point Servalan, watching Arle and Berg on her monitor screen, described them as Outsiders. | Arle and Berg |
| A possible source of treatment for Gan's malfunctioning limiter, but ruled out on the grounds that the planet only had "third level technology". It was 350 hours away from the Liberator's position at that time. |  |
