Fringer

A fringer is a citizen of the Galaxy who comes from less settled, frontier regions. They typically have little or no high-tech equipment and luxuries and must make do with what technology they can acquire, possibly used or cobbled together on their own.

Fringers are often farmers but due to the necessities of life find themselves adaptable to many situations, learning a wide variety of skills.

The term is usually applied as one would the word 'settler'.
