Independent insignia

An insignia used to denote independent minor factions

The independent systems still constitute the bulk of the human inhabited systems. They bring a rich tapestry of cultures and beliefs to the dark of space. From these worlds individuals and governments seek new opportunities deep in unexplored space.

Elite: Dangerous Handbook[1]

Independent is a term for individuals, organisations, corporations, minor factions, governments, and star systems that have no allegiance to the three major factions: the Alliance, the Empire, and the Federation.[1]

Independent systems

The majority of the Core Systems and other human-inhabited territories such as the Pleiades Nebula and Colonia Region consists of unaligned, independent systems. Independent systems have rich and diverse cultures, politics, and beliefs, and generally rely on locally-funded and trained security forces for protection. The main appeal for remaining independent is the freedom of self-governance and the new opportunities in uncharted, deep space. These systems are generally less populated and secure, but not necessarily anarchic.[1]

Population

As of April 3305, the total population of all independent systems in the galaxy is 2,202,400,461,815.[2] As of September 3305, there are 9,734 populated independent systems, and the ten most populous systems are:[3]

2 Khepri Independent 23,470,889,329
3 Procyon Independent 18,561,351,895
