Planets - C (pt.4)
Corellian system
The Corellian system, located in the Corellian sector, contains five
inhabited worlds-- Corellia, Selonia, Drall, Talus, and Tralus--
collectively referred to as the Five Brothers. The five worlds have such
close orbits that some theorists believe the entire system was created
by unknown entities long ago. Recently, powerful repulsors have been
discovered beneath the surface of each planet that seem to indicate they
were moved into their current orbits from some unknown location.
Centerpoint Station, located directly between the Double Worlds of Talus
and Tralus, is the ancient device that theoretically was used to
transport the five planets through hyperspace. The system is inhabited
primarily by humans, Selonians, and Drall (though the latter two species
are rarely seen outside the system), and is policed by both the
Corellian Defense Force and the Corellian Security Force, or CorSec.
Pilots from the Corellian system are known throughout the galaxy for
their superb skills, and the system is also notorious for its smugglers
and pirates. The human-run Corellian Engineering Corporation's shipyards
are famous throughout the galaxy for their long, distinguished
manufacture of a vast variety of starships. Due to the strategic
importance of these stardocks, the Empire kept the system heavily
defended after the Battle of Endor. Some disreputable Corellian
spaceports are known to construct unreliable, patched-together ships
commonly called "Uglies." The system also contains a large space station
called Gus Treta. It was in the Corellian system that Mon Mothma
convinced three major resistance groups to join forces, which marked the
beginning of the Rebel Alliance.
A famous Corellian work of literature is The Fall of the Sun by
Erwithat, and a respected honor is the red trouser piping known as the
Corellian Bloodstripe. Corellians are known to hold the importance of
family in high esteem. Other Corellian traditions include ryshcate, a
dark brown sweetcake made with vweliu nuts, which is traditionally baked
and served at important celebrations, and Jedi Credits or JedCreds, was
were commemorative medallions made when a Corellian Jedi became a
Master. The language known as Old Corellian, though it has been
essentially extinct for 4000 years, still survives among smugglers and
pirates. Notable Corellians include Han Solo, General Crix Madine,
General Garm Bel Iblis, and Wedge Antilles. [SW, MTS, COTJ, HSLL, DFR,

Corellian Trade Spine

Corfai
After resupplying on Wistril, the Star Destroyer Chimaera was planning
to join the Stormhawk and ambush a New Republic convoy near Corfai.

Coriallis
During the New Republic's retreat from Coruscant six years after the
Battle of Endor, Taryn Clancy of the Core Courier Service was enlisted
to deliver a rendezvous location to one of the New Republic battle
fleets. After escaping Coruscant, Clancy changed course at Coriallis
before proceeding to her destination. Sergeant Zeck Tambell, an Imperial
investigator on the planet Stassia, was a native of Coriallis. [SWAJ]
Corlass
The planet Corlass has a long tradition of piracy, dating back to the
earliest days of primitive sailing ships on the planet's seas. Points of
interest on the world include Quori City, which was built in a complex
maze-like pattern. Tron Nixx, a navigator in Drek Drednar's pirate crew,
grew up on Corlass. [SWAJ]
Corporate Sector
Consisting of tens of thousands of star systems, the Corporate Sector is
a free-enterprise fief located on the edge of the galaxy, and bordered
by the Aparo and Wyl sectors. The Corporate Sector is as wealthy and
influential as the richest sectors in Imperial space, and the skylines
of its many urban worlds are lit by the multicolored flashes of
countless advertising signs. It offers the widest selection of products
anywhere, and tourists come from all over the galaxy to purchase its
unique goods. The entire sector is run by a single corporation, known as
the Corporate Sector Authority (CSA). The CSA is composed of dozens of
contributing companies (over 1000 companies are currently on the waiting
list to join) and is run by the 55 members of the Direx Board, who are
in turn headed by the ExO. The CSA has exclusive rights to use the
sector's resouces as they see fit-- typically they use up a planet and
move on to another one, and are not above using slave labor or grossly
polluting the environment. Since it has no internal competition, the CSA
can mark up the prices of their goods to many times their actual worth,
and businesses in the sector do not accept any currency except Authority
Cash Vouchers and crystalline vertexes. A portion of the CSA's enormous
profits were secretly funneled to Emperor Palpatine, with the
understanding that the Empire would take no direct role in the operation
of the sector. Therefore, the protective CSA has formed its own military
forces, including Security Police (or "Espos") and a comparatively poor
and outdated starfleet. Planets in the Corporate Sector, in addition to
its sterile, climate-controlled capitol worlds, include Ammuud, Bonadan,
Roonadan, Etti IV, Kalla, Kail, Orron III, Duroon, Mytus VII, Gaurick,
Rampa, Mall'ordian, Reltooine, Knolstee, Mayro, and the Trianii colony
worlds of Fibuli, Ekibo, Pypin, and Brochiib. The feline Trianii have
been actively opposing the Corporate Sector's annexation of their
worlds, and much of the fighting occurred in the Tingel Arm. An
armistice in this conflict has recently been called after three years of
fighting.
Originally established several hundred years ago by the Old Republic,
the Corporate Sector was once a group of several hundred systems all
devoid of intelligent life. The corporations allowed to operate in the
sector could purchase entire regions of space, but were held in check by
the watchful eye of the Republic. During the Emperor's rise to power,
however, several corporate allies of Palpatine convinced him to expand
the sector to encompass nearly 30,000 stars. Eleven native intelligent
species were discovered in this expanded region, though this fact has
been effectively covered up. The CSA was soon established to manage all
aspects of the sector's operations, and thus the "modern" era of the
Corporate Sector began. Han Solo and Chewbacca had several legendary
exploits in the Corporate Sector during their early adventuring,
including a jailbreak from the infamous Stars' End. Following the Battle
of Hoth, the Corporate Sector company Galactic Electronics developed a
new "mag pulse" weapons technology and sold it to the Rebel Alliance. In
retaliation, the Imperial Star Destroyer Glory traveled to the sector
and seized the corporation's deep-space research facility. Emperor
Palpatine once had plans to build a great palace for himself in the
sector, and construction continued even after Palpatine's supposed death
at the Battle of Endor. Six years later, during the Emperor's
reappearance, the Corporate Sector declared its neutrality in the
conflict and began supplying weapons and arms to both sides. [HSSE, HSR,

Corsin
Located in the Greater Plooriod Cluster, Corsin was a beautiful world
known for its love of life until it was forcibly subjugated by Imperial
troops. Alliance historian Voren Na'al witnessed the start of the
military occupation while covering the prestigious swoop races on
Corsin. [MTS]
Corstris

Alliance duties. [TLC]
Corulag
Corulag and its several moons are located In the Bormea sector of the
Core Worlds, along the Perlemian Trade Route. A rather unremarkable
planet, Corulag is totally devoted to Emperor Palpatine and the
principles of his New Order, and is viewed as a "model" world of proper
Imperial behavior. Its fifteen billion citizens enjoy the many benefits
of a productive and prosperous economy, and the planet is home to
several large corporations. Corulag's capital city is Curamelle and its
government is run by an elected House of Citizens, which is presided
over by Imperial Governor Zafiel Snopps. Curamelle boasts the Corulag
Academy, a branch of the Empire-wide military school that is only
slightly less prestigious than the famous Raithal Academy. An Imperial
Navy base and training facility are located on Corulag's largest moon.
Meysen Kayson, wealthy owner of the Greel Wood Logging Corporation in
the Pii system, was born on Corulag. [SWAJ]
