Hosnian Prime

Hosnian Prime was a planet in the Core Worlds region of the Galaxy which served as the capital of the New Republic.
== History ==
After the defeat of the Galactic Empire, the Rebel Alliance began rebuilding the Galactic Republic, forming the New Republic. Hosnian Prime was selected as the capital of the New Republic, as many did not want Coruscant to remain as the capital planet due to it's connection with the Empire.
In 34 ABY, thirty years after the Empire's defeat, the First Order rose from the ashes of the former Empire. However, the New Republic did not want to engage in a war and did not see the First Order as a major threat. This was a huge mistake and the First Order subsequently used their new superweapon, Starkiller Base, to destroy the entire Hosnian System, taking out the New Republic Senate and therefore destroying the New Republic itself.
== Geography ==
Hosnian Prime was in the Core Worlds region. Similar to Coruscant, Hosnian Prime was covered in one major city, named Republic City.
== Government ==
Hosnian Prime was likely directly administered by the New Republic's government, with the Chancellor of the New Republic most probably serving as the leader of Hosnian Prime.
