Corellia/Legends

Corellia is the homeworld of Han Solo. It is the capital planet of the Corellian Sector, which includes Corellia, Selonia, Drall, Tralus, and Talus, all in the Corellian system. In the days of the Galactic Republic, it was ruled by a Diktat while the sector had a seat in the Galactic Senate.



Corellia is dominated by rolling hills, thick deciduous forests, lush corn-yellow fields, golden sun-set beaches, and large seas. With most of the famed manufacturing centers in orbit, the planet largely remains rural and undeveloped. Urban blight is virtually non-existent, and most Corellians live in small towns or farming communes. The largest cities are the capital Coronet, the touristy Kor Vella, and in the mountains, Daoba Guerfea and Bela Vistal.

Corellia is a commercial and manufacturing center. Home to multi-stellar corporate conglomerates, many of which compete directly with the Trade Federation and Banking Guild for galactic influence. With trade and corporate profits driving much here, Corellians are all working for one or another company. Over time the companies became so powerful they overthrew the historic parliamentary constitutional monarchy (the Royal House of Solo, c 150 BBY) in favor of a government more supportive of the needs of commercialism. This corporate government was called the Diktat, which may mean a person and/or a council. The Diktat and government in general makes it easier for the corporations to train and employ Corellians. These companies house, feed, entertain, and direct their employees through their tenure of employment (usually through life)- though 'technically' each employee is a free Corellian citizen.

In the months leading up to the Clone Wars, Corellian Senator Garm Bel Iblis withdrew his planet from the galactic community in protest of the Military Creation Act, using a little known clause in the Corellian constitution.

This attempt at isolation did not succeed and Corellia, like the rest of the galaxy, was soon embroiled in the horror of the Clone Wars.

Corellia is also home to the Corellian Engineering Corporation, one of the larger shipbuilding firms in the galaxy, and their shipyards are one of the most extensive in the galaxy. Examples of Corellian ships include the Corellian Corvette, exemplified by the Alderaanian consular ship Tantive IV; the YT-1300 freighter, represented by the Millennium Falcon; and the Corellian Gunship.
