- "Naturally we were hoping to win, especially in front of the home-planet crowd."
- ―Jipoly Numifolis
Team Coruscant was a limmie team that played for the planet of Coruscant, led by team captain Jipoly Numifolis. In 13.3, during the Separatist Crisis, the inexperienced Team Coruscant competed in the Galactic Cup of Limmie. Coruscant took on[1] the planet[2] of Fondor's team in the opening round, losing three to one in their own home stadium, the BlasTech Gikosphere.[1]
In an interview published in the CoCo District edition of the HoloNet News, Numifolis commented that the team had hoped to win in front of the home crowd. He added that as the sport was gaining popularity among local toddlers, Coruscant's team would likely be a feared competitor in about twenty years time.[1]
