Coruscant

**Coruscant**, originally known as **Notron**, was an ecumenopolis planet located in the Corusca sector of the galaxy's Core Worlds region, and widely accepted to be the capital of the galaxy, being a trading hub on the intersection of many hyperspace routes, and also being the homeworld of the most prevalent species in the galaxy—Humans. Being an ecumenopolis, Coruscant was covered in a planet-spanning city, called Galactic City, with 5127 levels in the underworld, and an uncountable amount of skyscrapers.

Coruscant, while being the capital of most galactic governments, like the Galactic Republic and Galactic Empire, was still a home to various criminal enterprises in the underworld, and at one point held the Jedi Order's main base until the Great Jedi Purge forced them into hiding. Under the reign of the Galactic Empire, Coruscant was officially renamed **Imperial Center**, although many people still referred to it as Coruscant.
