Border Worlds

[Chlegov]

Who are border worlds? Are they remains of piligrim colony in sector Vega? Or who? Why they are not included in Terran federation?

Worlds on the border of confed space.

No.

Or who?

What?

Why they are not included in Terran federation?

They declared independence during WCIV. They were togheter with confed during the fight with the Kilrathi.

They're off shoots of Confed Colonies, IIRC.

Border Worlds are a rather big group of colonized systems between Confed and Kilrathi space. You could say they are equal to the New World in 16th and 17th century, because Border Worlders are people who colonized distant planets looking for new life. While the living is hard, they are forced to adapt and do more with less. Oh, yeah, and they are by distant the coolest nation in the known universe
PS. Check out the WC map.

I have this map, I played WC4, but I don't know origin of UBW.
In WC4 BW simply appears without explanation, without historical excursus.
And I also know that systems of BW were colonies of Piligrims during Terrans-Piligrims war. And where they now? In indian reservations?

Quick piece of advice, when you're trying to make sense of everything ignore the WC movie

Well, WC4 is the explanation. Before WC4, these systems were basically considered a part of the Confederation, but during the Kilrathi war, they apparently became fairly independent. Do you remember the Militia in Privateer? This is probably what the BW started as - civilian militias set up to defend themselves against the Kilrathi at a time when Confed simply didn't have ships to spare. Eventually, I guess they simply got to the stage where they just didn't need Confed any more.

No, the Pilgrim colonies were actually in what is now Confed space.
