Lawless Lands was the furthest and poorest area in the human universe. It consisted of around 1300 planets. Most of them were barren planets with powerful radiations, inhibiting any normal humans to survive there, so it left around a hundred habitable planets. Even in those habitable planets, they still required a protective shield to optimize the atmosphere for humans.
None of the prosperous nations in the central region wanted to develop this area due to the lack of resources, the lack of humans living on these planets, and its long-distance from them. The number of people living in the Lawless Lands was probably less than all their third-rate planets combined. If they wanted to control this area, they needed to supply soldiers and resources here continuously. Moreover, the fruits of their labour wouldn't appear instantly too.
