Hosnian Prime

was a planet in the Hosnian system of the Core Worlds, located along the Corellian Trade Spine. Thirty years after the Battle of Endor, it served as the headquarters of the Galactic Senate and was the galactic capital of the New Republic during the conflict between the Resistance and the First Order.

In 34 ABY, seeking to rid the galaxy of what it saw as the illegitimate Republic government, the First Order used its superweapon, Starkiller Base, to destroy Hosnian Prime and all other planetary bodies in the system. The superweapon caused the ignition of Hosnian Prime's core, transforming the planet into a star in a pocket nova.

### Age of the New Republicedit | edit source

"*But there's no slavery on Hosnian Prime.*"
"*Of course not. The Republic doesn't allow slavery. They*do*allow Czerka Corporation to do business, though, and naturally Czerka can bring in whatever workers it wants.*"
―Obi-Wan Kenobi and Pax Maripher[src]
During the waning years of the Galactic Republic, Hosnian Prime hosted a factory complex run by Czerka Arms, an arms manufacturer whose activities included the use of slavery. Rahara Wick was born into slavery on the planet, working in mines deep underneath the surface.[7]

### Age of the Empireedit | edit source

**Mozeen Parapa**: "*My tech-masters tracked thee signal toah Freerago's.*"
**Han Solo**: "*The diner orbiting Hosnian Prime? That seems…random.*"
**Sana Starros**: "*Whoever has the Phylanx must be holed up there to keep a low profile and plot their next move. We can stake it out in shifts.*"
―Mozeen Parapa, Han Solo and Sana Starros discuss Parapa's last tracked signal of the Phylanx Redux Transmitter[src]
During the reign of the Galactic Empire, Plas Lelkot, the surgeon consul of Hosnian Prime, hid refugees in his own chateau. Due to his support for the Rebel Alliance, he was imprisoned at the bleak Ashmead's Lock prison on the planet Kashyyyk.[11]

Around 3 BBY, Han Solo had a run-in with Torrian security guards on Hosnian Prime which left a purplish stain on his shirt. Not long after, Solo and Chewbacca went to the Freerago's Satellite Diner and Motel, a satellite diner and motel in orbit of Hosnian Prime, to retrieve a device known as the Phylanx Redux Transmitter for the crime lord Mozeen Parapa. The pair were successful in their attempts, with help from the bounty hunter Sana Starros.[16]

After returning to Imperial space following the Battle of Yavin, Imperial Senior Lieutenant Iden Versio debriefed and spent time on Hosnian Prime recovering from injuries she suffered after her TIE fighter was damaged in the Death Star's explosion before crash landing on Yavin's fourth moon.[13]

### New Republic

Imperial Captain Terisa Kerrill later sent Titan Squadron to retrieve Agent Thorn from an orbital outpost above the planet. After a successful rescue, Thorn revealed the location of a New Republic convoy near Desevro carrying workers for Project Starhawk.[9]

In 5 ABY, the Rebel Alliance's successor government, the New Republic, operated a veteran hospital in Darropolis. There, the New Republic soldier Dade Hetkins received treatment and a cybernetic leg to replace the one lost following the Battle of Endor. Doctor Arsad supervised Hetkins' recovery and assigned him the prototype therapy droid QT-9.[11] Around the time of the Battle of Jakku, Yuprin Arlo represented Hosnian Prime in the New Republic's Galactic Senate. Another native of Hosnian Prime, Sondiv Sella, served as a councilman in the Senate.[8]
