Retaining its status as galactic capital, it was on Coruscant where the Galactic Senate governed the galaxy for centuries, establishing an era of peace that lasted for almost a millennium under the protection of the Jedi peacekeepers.ĭuring the Fall of the Republic, political intrigue wrought by corruption and secession transformed Coruscant into a dangerous environment by the time of the Clone Wars-the first major war waged on a galactic scale in a thousand years.
Although the planet fell under Sith occupation for a time, Republic forces ultimately liberated Coruscant with the aid of the Jedi Knights. Serving as the capital of the galaxy since the ancient days of the Old Republic, Coruscant was at the center of many historic events, such as the Jedi Order's conflict with the Sith. It is the location of several major landmarks, including the Jedi Temple, Monument Plaza and the Senate Building. In addition, Coruscant's strategic location at the end of several major trade routes enabled it to grow in power and influence, causing the city-planet to surpass its early rivals and become the hub of galactic culture, education, finance, fine arts, politics and technology.
Noted for its cosmopolitan culture and towering skyscrapers, Coruscant's population consists of approximately one trillion citizens hailing from a vast array of both humanoid and alien species. Though debated by historians, it is generally believed that Coruscant is the original homeworld of humanity. Coruscant, also known as Imperial Center during the rule of the Galactic Empire, Galactic Capital, or the Queen of the Core, is an ecumenpolis, collectively known as Galactic City, covering the entire planet, in the Coruscant system of the Core Worlds.
