Core Worlds/Legends

"Who controls Coruscant controls the Core, and without the Core, the Alliance is nothing."

- Admiral Traest Kre'fey



The Core Worlds (also known as the Galactic Core and, during the Imperial era, the Imperial Core) were some of the most prestigious, well-developed, well-known, and heavily populated planets in the galaxy. In astrophysical terms, the Core denoted the central area of the galaxy, and in broad terms this was true enough, but the precise usage of the term was sometimes more complex.

The major Rimward hyperlanes radiated outwards around little more than half the galactic disk, and the Core Worlds occupied a C-shaped region of space around the Deep Core, the heart of the astrophysical core, which was considered as a separate outlier area, facing in the opposite direction, and extending outwards towards the Unknown Regions.

History
Humans were believed to have come from one of the core worlds. It was most widely speculated that Coruscant was the birthplace of humanity, although there was little to no archeological evidence to support that theory. Before the invention of the hyperdrive, galactic civilization was limited to only the Core Worlds. Densely populated and heavily industrialized, the Core Worlds were a vital factor in any campaign to rule the galaxy.

The Galactic Republic therefore was born in the Core Worlds and spread out over the galaxy. These planets exchanged hands many times&mdash;first the Galactic Republic, then the Galactic Empire, then the Rebel Alliance/New Republic, the Empire again, the New Republic, the Yuuzhan Vong, the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, then the new Empire.

During the later stages of the Galactic Civil War, the term Imperial Core, or sometimes even simply "the Core", was used by supporters of both sides to denote areas of remaining Imperial control around the Galactic Center. This usage persisted even when Coruscant and most of the historic Core Worlds had joined under New Republic, and the Imperial holdouts in the area were mostly restricted to the Deep Core and the fringes of the Unknown Regions.
