  Unknown Regions - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki - A Wikia wiki
The Unknown Regions, Unknown Space, Unknown Sector, or Unknown Territories was the collective term for all regions of the Galaxy not formally charted; it differed from Wild Space in that Wild Space was usually minimally charted, but not fully explored.
The Unknown Regions approached nearest to the galactic disk behind Bakura, Bilbringi, and the Imperial Remnant.
It is clear, moreover, that much of the Unknown Regions were passable to determined travelers—for instance, Corellian traders had been in contact with the Chiss for many years before their "discovery".

 Astrography - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki - A Wikia wiki
An ancient region bordering the outlier areas of the Deep Core, the Core Worlds were some of the most prestigious, well-developed, well-known, and heavily populated planets in the Galaxy.
The Inner Rim was a region of the Galaxy between the Colonies and the Expansion Region.
The term "Unknown Regions" most commonly referred to the large, unexplored region (which some interpret to have been outside the plane of the galactic disk) between Bakura and the Imperial Remnant, which was largely dominated by the Chiss Ascendancy.

Now the region is heavily populated and industrialized, yet lacks the prestige and trdition of the Core Worlds (or so those from the Core Worlds would like to belive).
A region of space encompassing tens of thousands of stars- yet completly lacking any native intelligent species- the Sector was ruled by the Corporate Sector Authority.
Unknown Regions: The term "Unknown Regions" applies to any area of space far beyond the boarders of the Known Galaxy.

 Star Wars galaxy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After the death of Emperor Palpatine, the region was eventually liberated by the New Republic.
Wild Space is on the frontier of the known galaxy, and is the blurred edge separating civilization from the Unknown Regions.
It should be noted that these regions were considered unknown at the time, but were later included in the outer rim because the "unknown" regions is only uncharted regions for the given time.

 STAR WARS: The Galaxy
A galactic region where the evolution of native sapients is suppressed might yet be attractive to settlers arriving from elsewhere.
Once considered part of the Unknown Regions, this area of space was opened to exploration and settlement as one of the Emperor's last acts.
The Unknown Regions are the parts of the galaxy and beyond that remain unexplored.

To further investigate this, the codon usage of genes in the unknown regions was compared to that of genes from known parts of the genome (Figure 2(b)).
Low-complexity regions in the sequences were identified using SEG, which is the program used by BLAST to mask such regions [24].
For genes residing in the each of the unknown regions and for genes from known regions, the codon usage was calculated by first counting the frequency of each of the 61 coding triplets.

 Top Ten Unknown Regions
With obvious exceptions such as Provence, the Dordogne and Tuscany, the regions which we feature in our various programmes are not very well known to the British, and in some cases (such as the province of Teruel in Aragón, Spain) are largely unknown even by the population of the country in question.
A sure sign that the region remains largely untouched is that small numbers of wolves can still be found in the Pollino National Park.
Contrasting with the rugged mountains of the region's interior is the magnificent coastline, dotted with tiny coves.

 Belgian Expedition Seeking South Pole - Chicago - August, 1899
It may not be generally understood, although it is a fact, that there are greater possibilities in the line of scientific discovery and research in an antarctic exploring expedition, such as the one now under notice, than in the numerous and costly arctic voyages of discovery conducted during the last 200 years.
The risk run in exploring a coast in these unknown and icy seas is so very great that I can be bold enough to say that no man will ever venture further than I have done, and that the lands which lie to the south will never be explored.
This was the deliberate opinion of the great English navigator, expressed in 1774, when he rounded the Kerguelen regions and the southerly land of Georgia and dispelled the mistaken notion that these islands were the northern extremity of a continent that reached to the south pole.

 The Jade Stage - the shape of the world
The precise extent of its reach and depth are unknown to dojh-oln-beh's inhabitants, as the areas of the Great Sea far from settled land are uncharted and largely unexplored.
As the Known Regions lie much closer to the center of dojh-oln-beh, most people are unaware of the existance of the Edge Mountains, although they are referred to in occasional legends, myths, and songs and usually dismissed as fictional.
The Known Regions are a group of large continents and several smaller islands that are located roughly one third of the way out from the center of dojh-oln-beh towards the edge.

 Unknown Regions
It had been generally thought among Palpatine’s court that Thrawn was exiled by the Emperor, sent to the Unknown Regions on a mapping expedition as punishment for choosing the wrong side in a political battle.
However, a variant of that explanation would be that Palpatine wanted to have the Unknown Regions conquered, but did not want to bleed the Empire dry to find the necessary resources - and besides, he needed as much resources as possible to continue tightening his grip on the Empire proper.
These unknown dangers could also be why Thrawn had agreed to destroy Outbound Flight, an expedition of six Jedi Masters who were touring the Unknown Regions before heading off to another galaxy.

 Research - Yunjun Zhang
Given an input image or video, the goal is to remove the undesired objects and reconstruct the corresponding unknown regions in the image or entire video sequence based on the motion information.
After selecting the reference frame, we apply the motion compensation to partially or even fully fill the unknown region in each layer.
For the layers where some regions are still missing, we develop a graph cut based region completion algorithm to complete the missing data with the perceptually correct color-texture information.

If this is how the Unknown Regions are defined billions of stars spread out over a vast space several times the diameter of the galactic disk, compared with hundreds of billions of stars in the conventional part of the galaxy.
The labelled "unknown regions" may be in the galactic halo between the disk and the artist's point of view; ie.
There do exist regions of any system where the celestial dynamics are conducive to unstable behaviour or the evolution of the orbital parameters in ways which defy forecasting.

Then, after spending years in the Unknown Regions Grand Admiral Thrawn returns to the known parts of the galaxy, and takes control of the Empire.
But before that particular expedition began, it was decided to send them and their ship on a shakedown cruise; a great circle cruise through part of the vast Unknown Regions.
What was thought by the common Imperial, Thrawn and with him Parck had caused Palpatine's wrath and was send away from the galaxy with a single Star Destroyer on a mapping mission, it was all a part of a masterplan, it was all planned by the Emperor and Thrawn.

Yet Parck's career was nothing special until a chance discovery on a deserted world on the edge of the Unknown Regions brought him up through the ranks at lightspeed.
When the Emperor "exiled" Thrawn to the Unknown Regions (ostensibly because the old man feared the Grand Admiral's growing power), he also demoted Parck to commander and sent him off with Thrawn and a small fleet.
When Thrawn launched his campaign to retake the Empire, he left Voss Parck in charge of a secret installation in the Unknown Regions on the planet Nirauan, where the Imperials were to wait for Thrawn's self-prophesied return.

Conservation of genomic sequences between species indicates regions of functional importance, containing protein-coding gene, non-coding genes or regulatory elements.
Around two thirds of these correspond to regions with unknown function, and only a small number of these regions appear to represent potential unknown genes, and most are probably not transcribed.
These conserved, non-genic regions probably contain regulatory features and will require specific functional genomics strategies to figure out what they do.
