Coruscant, the capital of the Republic. The entire planet is one big city. |  |
| — Ric Olié |
The planet Coruscant is located in the distant Galaxy 1138. It can be accessed via the trans-galactic Hypernet.
Coruscant, also known as Imperial Center, is an ecumenopolis--a city-covered planet, collectively known as Galactic City--in the Coruscant system of the Core Worlds
. Noted for its cosmopolitan culture and towering skyscrapers, Coruscant's population consists of approximately one trillion citizens hailing from a vast array of both humanoid and alien species. Though debated by historians, it is generally believed that Coruscant is where humans first settled in Galaxy 1138 during the very distant past. In addition, Coruscant's strategic location at the end of several major trade routes has enabled it to grow in power and influence, allowing the city-planet to surpass its early rivals and become the hub of galactic culture, education, finance, fine arts, politics and technology.
It is home to several major landmarks, including the Jedi Temple, Monument Plaza, and the Senate Building.
