Coruscant

Coruscant, originally called Notron, also known as the Imperial Center during the rule of the Galactic Empire, or the Queen of the Core, was an ecumenopolis — a city-covered planet, collectively known as Galactic City — in the Coruscant system of the Core Worlds. Though debated by historians, it was generally believed that Coruscant was the original homeworld of humanity in the Andromeda galaxy. Much lesser known, however, was that the Asgardian race first originated from Notron during the Pre-Republic Era, though they departed the planet long before the formation of the Galactic Republic, where they eventually settled on Asgard. 
Noted for its cosmopolitan culture and towering skyscrapers, Coruscant's population consisted of approximately one trillion citizens hailing from a vast array of both humanoid and alien species. In addition, Coruscant's strategic location at the end of several major trade routes enabled it to grow in power and influence, causing the city-planet to surpass its early rivals and become the hub of galactic culture, education, finance, fine arts, politics and technology. It was the location of several major landmarks, including the Jedi Temple, Monument Plaza and the Senate Building.
Over the centuries, Coruscant had developed into an ecumenopolis, with a total of 5,127 levels of city built up from the crust by the time of the Clone Wars. The actual planet-wide metropolis of Coruscant was called "Galactic City." Under the Galactic Republic, the names "Republic City" or the "City of Spires" were also used to reference the city. It was also called "Imperial City" under the Galactic Empire, and "New Republic City" under the New Republic. However, in practice, Galactic City and its other names were sometimes applied to the Senate District, the central government center and de facto capital of Coruscant.
