Description[]

"Hanna City reflects the Senate's humble new beginnings—we're here for the people of the galaxy, all the hardworking people. And Mon Mothma is from here, so–"

―Olia Choko^[1]

Hanna City was a large city that was the capital of Chandrila. Built right on the expansive Silver Sea, the city's white, cliff-like structures,^[2] towering spires, and domed buildings^[3] met right against its pebbled beaches. The ocean provided the fishing industry to the city's business, with a fishery and docks being located near Barbican Road.^[2] The city streets were often bustling with crowds of people. Speeder traffic near the central docking station was also common during midday.^[3] Hanna City had hundreds of landing platforms, managed by Chandrila tower control, to accommodate the large population.^[2] One of the larger buildings in the city was the New Republic Defense Fleet headquarters, which stood a gleaming monolith of the New Republic.^[3]

Outside Hanna City lay beautiful landscapes of misty forests^[3] and windswept meadows, which were all around the city and visible from some of the taller buildings.^[1] There were also other seaside destinations such as Junari Point, which was a few kilometers outside the city.^[2]

History[]

ANewDawnPoster-Unlettered — Hanna City was the seat of the New Republic Senate

The Confederacy of Independent Systems Navy launched an attack on Hanna City early in the Clone Wars for reasons that were never clear to Senator Mon Mothma, who pondered if the failed assault was an attempt at striking fear into their hearts.^[10]

Its governor^[6] in 5 BBY^[11] was a friend of Perrin Fertha, having served with him in the same regiment. The governor attended a dinner party thrown by Fertha at the Chandrilan Embassy that year.^[6] The city was home to the Galactic Senate of the New Republic, as Mon Mothma decided to have her homeworld of Chandrila to serve as the Republic's capital after the Battle of Endor. In the first days of the new Senate, Hanna City featured an art installation in the city circle featuring stormtrooper helmets painted with Rebel Alliance sigils, starbursts, and other various colors. The HoloNews network Queen of the Core Network's first day involved broadcasting the festivities at Hanna City.^[1]
