"Corulag, huh? That explains the accent."
―Zare Leonis, to Merei Spanjaf[3]

Corulag was a Core Worlds planet that was influential in the Galactic Republic helping the world Eriadu out of its debts and putting it onto the galactic-map. Under the Galactic Empire, it was the site of an Imperial Academy, the Corulag Military Academy, which caught some success from its strategic pairing of training instructors, like Commandants Angor and Bedgar.

Corulag was listed at the location of arrest for the criminal "Liana Hallik," who was arrested in the Five Points system in 1 BBY. Around that year, the Rebel Alliance Captain Cassian Andor went to Corulag when investigating the Empire's kyber crystal shipments, leaving for the Ring of Kafrene when he was summoned by an informant of his.

After the Empire's fall in 5 ABY, New Republic veteran Chass na Chadic resided in the city of Curamelle on Corulag, attending therapy for a while. She moved on the planet to Crullov, but her life as a veteran ended when her building was raided by security forces, Chadic eventually moving on to the astronomical object Spirana.

Description[]

Corulag was a terrestrial planet[3] located in the Interior portion[2] of the Core Worlds. Situated at the coordinates L-9 on the Standard Galactic Grid, it lay along the Perlemian Trade Route[1] super-hyperroute[8] between the[1] planets[9] Chandrila and Coruscant.[1]

History[]

High status[]

"The Imperial Military Academy on Corulag appears to have produced a number of well-regarded Imperial graduates. Much of this appears to be rooted in their tendency to pair training instructors based on their complementary abilities."
―Beaumont Kin, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire[9]
Eriadu-Bad Batch-The Summit

Corulag was instrumental in the industrial development of Eriadu (pictured).

Corulag was a notable member world in the Galactic Republic in the time after the fall of the Sith[10] in 1032 BBY,[11] the planet having influence in the Republic's Galactic Senate. During that time, entrepreneurs from the world saved the settlers of the Outer Rim Territories planet Eriadu from their debts to the InterGalactic Banking Clan, which had given loans for the development of Eriadu's lommite mining. Corulag's senatorial influence also led to the Hydian Way,[10] a super-hyperroute[8] that was originally founded in 3705 BBY,[12] being routed through Eriadu space, putting the Outer Rim world on the galactic-map. The Core World entrepreneurs that helped Eriadu in turn forced the planet to increase its lommite supply and demanded much of the profits. This transformed large sections of Eriadu into polluted industrial zones and poverty stricken cities.[10]

The Republic became the Galactic Empire in 19 BBY,[11] and Corulag was the site of an Imperial Academy, the Corulag Military Academy. While considered less prestigious than academies like the Raithal Academy,[4] Corulag still produced a number of well-regarded Imperial graduates. Such success was in part due to their tactic of pairing training instructors based on abilities they had in common. The match-up of Commandants Angor and Bedgar, noted respectively for relevant and robust combat strategy classes and the intricacies of military administration, exemplified this.[9]

Seedy activities[]

"As ordered, I have been investigating reports that the Empire is transporting kyber crystals to Patriim, Horuz, and other remote star systems. Those investigations led me to Corulag and then to Coruscant, where I heard rumors that the Empire was concealing shipments of kyber crystals in convoys of civilian freighters. Further investigation revealed shipments were arriving on Kafrene from the direction of the Unknown Regions before being sent to an unknown destination."
―Cassian Andor, in a report to Airen Cracken[13]
Erso-arrest-record-SV

Corulag was listed as the location of arrest for Jyn Erso

In 1 BBY,[11] the criminal Jyn Erso, who used the alias "Liana Hallik," was arrested by Imperial Admiral Bethava Rocwyn in the Five Points system,[14] being incarcerated in the Wobani Labor Colony.[15] Her arrest record, designated file / 7976.994.5., listed the location of her arrest to Corulag,[16] her intake record at the Wobani Labor Camp doing the same. The latter file was eventually included in The Rebel Files, an archive of non-electronic documents compiled by rebel archivist Hendri Underholt.[15]

Around that same year,[17] the Rebel Alliance's intelligence branch probed reports that the Empire was transporting kyber crystals to the Horuz and Patriim systems, General Airen Cracken assigning Captain Cassian Andor to investigate these. Andor's investigations led him to Coruscant[13] and then to Corulag.[18] At those worlds, he learned of rumors that the Empire was using convoys of civilian freighters to conceal kyber shipments, some passed through the Ring of Kafrene trading outpost from the direction of the Unknown Regions.[13] While on Corulag, Andor received a message from Tivik, his informant in the extremist rebel cell known as the Partisans, which summoned the rebel operative away to meet with the informant on the Ring of Kafrene.[18]

In 4 ABY,[11] the aspiring Jedi Luke Skywalker spoke with the Force ghost of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi while visiting[19] the swamp planet[20] Dagobah. In that conversation, Kenobi told Skywalker that the fate of Corulag and many other planets relied on a final confrontation between the latter and the Sith Lord Darth Vader.[19]

Post-Imperial era[]

"For example, Commandant Angor was noted for his relevant and robust combat strategy classes, and often worked closely with Commandant Bedgar who instructed officer cadets on the intricacies of military administration. Together the pair were able to produce well-rounded officers who could both act in combat and undertake the bureaucracy that was inherent in leadership positions."
―Beaumont Kin, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire[9]
Chass na Chadic

Chass na Chadic resided for some time on Corulag after the Empire's fall

After the fall of the Empire[5] in 5 ABY,[11] Chass na Chadic, a veteran pilot of the New Republic, resided in the city of Curamelle on Corulag. There, she went to therapy appointments at a medcenter, favouring a bearded snake-woman therapist. However, Chadic gave up on therapy after she missed an appointment and the snake-woman could not reschedule for a month. Remaining on Corulag, she eventually relocated to Crullov, another location on the world, for a cheaper rent, living in a closet sized apartment in a complex rife with scrappers and death stick addicts. One night, though, Chadic got drunk enjoying the bands at the Little Orto street fair and returned to security forces raiding her building. This brought her life as a New Republic veteran to an end, and she eventually relocated to the astronomical object Spirana.[5]

Imperial Archives kept a section on the "Corulag Imperial Military Academy," including the file "Combined Officer's Curriculum 27" that covered the pairing of Commandants Angor and Bedgar. Having read the file, historian Beaumont Kin summarized the Imperial Academy's curricular success in[9] his[21] 35 ABY[22] book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire.[9]

Inhabitants[]

"When I left Corulag to—seek my fortune, yeah?—my parents disowned me. Haven't been back since."
―Agias Rikton, to Soran Keize, on leaving Corulag[23]

Corulag was the homeworld of Baron Lero Danthe.[6] The human Agias Rikton was also brought up on the world taking more of a liking to his grandfather, a Republic veteran, as he struggled to get along with his parents, who ultimately cut ties with him when he left to join the Empire.[23] Merei Spanjaf played kicker in the grav-ball youth bracket on Corulag.[3] By the time she left the planet for Lothal, it had been significantly changed by the Galactic Empire.[7]

Behind the scenes[]

Corulag was first mentioned in John Jackson Miller's 2014 novel A New Dawn.[6] It originated in Star Wars Legends continuity, where it was first mentioned in West End Games' 1992 roleplaying supplement Heir to the Empire Sourcebook.[24]
