Major galactic sub-regions are further divided into quadrants, sectors, etc., down to individual star systems and planets. Worlds of the Outer Rim are rich in raw resources but lack the population, infrastructure, or political power of the Core. Waves of colonization (and conquest) by the Republic gradually spread outward from the Core, into the sparser systems at the galaxy's edge, such as Tatooine.

The first major interstellar powers in the core are stated to have risen many millennia ago, gradually coalescing into the early Galactic Republic, with its capital at Coruscant. The new canon map is broadly similar to the later versions of the Legends galactic map.Īs a general rule, most of the galaxy's wealth, power, and population are concentrated near the middle of the galactic circle – the "Core Worlds". Their exact definitions fluctuated somewhat during the Legends continuity, but were later formally updated by the new canon continuity when Disney purchased Lucasfilm. Every effort must be made to keep them secure.The Star Wars galaxy contains several broad sub-regions. The Empire has made numerous attack runs over the sector, leaving scorched starship wreckage and twisted scaffolding scattered through the streets, but the Republic military knows that losing the shipyards means losing Corellia.

Now that war has come to Corellia, the Blastfield Shipyards are the main point of entry for Republic forces, from troop drop ships to battle cruisers in need of repair. Dozens of cantinas and small-scale entertainment districts nearby served the needs of visitors and workers seeking a break from spaceflight or daily labor. Mercenaries flying in from the Outer Rim to have their ships’ engines tuned by a legendary Corellian mechanic would land next to construction yards for enormous luxury yachts catering to the galaxy’s wealthiest nobles.

Before the Imperial invasion, thousands of ships were built or serviced here on a daily basis by hundreds of local businesses. " Corellia has numerous spaceports, but few as extensive as the Blastfield Shipyards.
