500 Republica/Legends

500 Republica was an exclusive tower block in Galactic City on Coruscant.

500 Republica was located in the Ambassadorial Sector and was home to many wealthy citizens including senators and politicians such as Palpatine, along with successful businesspersons like Raith Sienar, the head of Santhe/Sienar Technologies. During his time as Supreme Chancellor, Palpatine had a luxurious apartment suite in an undisclosed location in the tower.

The building contained hundreds of private turbolifts to protect the privacy of the the building's high profile residents. 500 Republica was also equipped with 53 individual skydocks that were built in the facade of the building. These skydocks made sure that access to the building was only allowed to the residents and their guests. Finally, security holocams and hidden weaponry guarded the building's entrances, doorways and corridors. However, near the very end of the Clone Wars, Mace Windu and a squad of clone troopers discovered a passageway in the sub-basements of 500 Republica that led to a building in the Works.

When Confederacy forces led by General Grievous attacked Coruscant, they knew exactly where to go for their target. On the same day as the Separatist attack on Coruscant, Republic Intelligence had discovered the shocking truth that Darth Sidious was operating right from the very heart of the Republic, and was traced back to 500 Republica. Dyne, a member of Republic Intelligence even learned of the shocking identity of this Dark Lord of the Sith, before his untimely death.
