Galactic City/Legends



Galactic City was the name of the planet-wide city of Coruscant during the Galactic Republic. During the reign of the Empire, it was renamed Imperial City. During the time of the Galactic Civil War, Trey Duna was the mayor of Imperial City. Presumably the position was similar to that of governors on other Imperial worlds.

In past times, it was also referred to as Republic City, although that seems to have dropped out of usage sometime after the Great Hyperspace War.

Galactic City covered all of Coruscant's surface since at least 100,000 BBY. It can be presumed that it was founded thousands of years before that&mdash;possibly as the first human city in the Galaxy&mdash;although no records stretch back that far. Its development would have began after the human victory over the Taungs.

Although technically applying to all of Coruscant, in common usage it seems to have meant the Senate, Temple and Ambassadorial Districts&mdash;the areas of the City which housed the Senate Building, the Jedi Temple, the Republic Executive Building, the Presidential Palace, and other main organs of the Republic government.

Imperial Complications
Under the Empire, the alien residents of the planet-wide city were forced into ghettos, also known as "ethnic neighborhoods" such as Invisec. In 7 ABY, Ysanne Isard tore a hole in the cityscape using her Super Star Destroyer Lusankya and then escaped into hyperspace. As a result, large areas of the planet-wide city was destroyed and millions were killed. More calamity would befall Imperial City during the reborn Emperor Palpatine's insurrection in 10 ABY. After that, the New Republic would rebuild the devastated cityscape through the use of construction droids.
