Coronet City / Legends Coronet City , or Coronet for short , was the bustling capital of Corellia . Characteristics . Often referred to as " The Jewel of Corellia , " Coronet was a bustling urban metropolis located on the coast of the southernmost continent . It was a technologically advanced city with beautiful architecture , but its urban development paled in comparison to Coruscant . In keeping with Corellia ' s spacefaring heritage , Coronet ' s spaceport was second to none . Coronet was also home to the headquarters of CorSec and was heavily patrolled , although patrols were somewhat lighter in the Blue Sector , a rough section of town filled with cantinas , tattoo parlors , casinos , and fences , where offworlders tended to congregate . The famous Treasure Ship Row was a large bazaar located just inside Blue Sector and was famous for offering just about anything a customer could desire , legal or otherwise . Underneath Coronet ' s maze - like city streets lay a vast underground series of tunnels and caverns , where the Selonian population lived and worked . Snaking its way among the Selonian caverns was the subway system . Similarly , the infamous Meatlump Gang hid in the sewer system beneath the city streets . Here , they plotted a number of terrorist schemes against the populace . The Corellian Space Museum was also located in Coronet City , filled with artifacts from the earliest history of space flight . The Corellian Stock Exchange was also located there . The city also possessed a mag - lev train system to transport cargo throughout the streets . It was known for its parks and many open spaces . History . In 3641 BBY , Coronet City was the center of fighting on Corellia during the Battle of Corellia , the first major battle of the Galactic War . The Corellian Council had quickly capitulated to the Sith Empire for power , and the Sith immediately moved to occupy Coronet City as a beachhead , and from there to take Corellia to the Empire . Coronet City became occupied by Sith forces , closing off all communications with the rest of Corellia and the Republic . Later that year , Sith forces were driven from Coronet City and Corellia by Republic forces lead by The Hero of Tython and General Var Suthra working with CorSec and resistance groups on Corellia , although there were millions of casualties in the battle and ensuing occupation . In 1 ABY , Luke Skywalker and Rogue Squadron led an assault on the city , which was under Imperial occupation at the time . Their objective was to aid the Rebellion in rescuing Crix Madine , a high - ranking officer in the Galactic Empire . At the same time , General Rieekan , the commanding officer of Rogue Squadron , was attending a conference in one of Coronet ' s capital buildings . Unfortunately for the Rebels , Imperial forces in the Corellian sector had learned of both Crix Madine ' s defection and the meeting between the Rebel Alliance and Corellian officials — this presented Rogue Squadron with a dilemma : protect an important member of the Rebellion , or rescue an equally important asset of the Empire . The team frantically raced between both objectives , which were under fierce bombardment from TIE / sa Bomber squadrons and AT - AT assault , but it seemed that both of the officials were doomed . When defeat looked at hand , Han Solo and his Wookiee co - pilot Chewbacca arrived in the " Millennium Falcon " , and provided the Rogues with much needed support . They used their space freighter to evacuate those trapped in the capital building , allowing Commander Luke Skywalker to concentrate on aiding the rescue of Crix Madine , who by this point had become locked down in the Coronet tech center — the arranged pick up point for the Imperial traitor . Moments before the meeting place of Corellian and Alliance delegates crumbled under successive bombing runs from Imperial fighters , the " Millennium Falcon " was able to take off from the rooftop of the doomed structure , while the Rogues held off the advancing Imperial forces nearing the tech center . Soon , two TIE Fighter groups , both coming from opposite directions , attempted to intercept an incoming shuttle but failed as Rogue Squadron held off the two waves , securing the successful escape of their defecting officer . As Crix Madine fled the planet , Rogue Squadron rendezvoused with the Rebel evacuation shuttle and the " Millennium Falcon " , just as two modified TIE Bombers released their payload on the structure . During the Disciples of Ragnos crisis , the Jedi of Skywalker ' s Jedi Praxeum had information that the Corellians had reports of the cult ' s activity . Kyle Katarn and Jaden Korr went to investigate , and soon discovered that the cult members had hijacked a beam tram , and had also armed a bomb . Jaden fought his way forward from the back of the tram and disarmed the bomb , while Kyle used his ship , the " Raven ' s Claw " , to destroy the freelance cargo ship s that had dropped the cultists off on the tram . With the bomb disarmed , the cultists sped up the tram in an attempt to ram it into the station , but Jaden was able to make it to the control car at the front of the tram and stop it before it crashed . During the early Yuuzhan Vong War it was the site of large - scale rioting after the New Republic Advisory Council voted to redirect a fleet from Corellia to Bothawui . The capital city of the planet Trigalis , New Coronet , was presumably named after Coronet City .
