CoruscantCoruscant
 The seat of
galactic government for as long as records have existed,
Coruscant is the jewel of the Core Worlds and the center
of the known universe. Nearly all of the planet's land is
covered by an unending, multileveled megalopolis whose
foundations were laid at the beginning of the Old
Republic, more than a thousand generations ago.

Kilometer-high
skyscrapers-some extending to the lower fringes of the
atmosphere-and numerous spaceports cover the capital,
Imperial City. The lowest, darkest levels of Imperial
City were abandoned long ago and are now home to wrecked
equipment, countless vermin and subhuman beings moving
through the shadows. Above all else, Coruscant is a
potent symbol, the center of power, authority, and order,
and whoever controls it is perceived as the rightful
successor to galactic rule.
