Its main export is Carbonite.

Originally an unspoiled world with a wide array of flora and fauna, Vulpter was transformed over the millennia into a massively polluted globe covered in waste and factories. This means that the planet is now unable to sustain itself in terms of agriculture, and is thus entirely reliant on importing foodstuffs from other worlds. Vulpter is a noted producer of starships, and is home to one of the galaxy's largest podracer factories. Several corporations, such as Viper Sensor Intelligence Systems and Arakyd Industries, operate facilities on this planet.

A verdant world that is incredibly rich in the Force, Tython was inhabited by an unknown species hundreds of thousands of years before the rise of the Galactic Empire, and it was visited by both the Gree and Kwa, two of the earliest species to have achieved interstellar travel. The Je'daii soon realized that Tython was unsafe for those who could not sense the Force, and as a result, the Tythans spread out to settle the other worlds of the Tython system.

A frozen ocean world in the Deep Core, Ojom is the homeworld of the Besalisk, a four-armed species. Because of the oceanic nature of the planet, Besalisks survived by creating a commune upon the many glaciers adrift on the world's oceans. Despite the several separate communities, the planet is sparsely populated. Many space stations orbited the world, and the populations on these stations actually exceed that of those communities planetside. The stations fill the role of starports for the planet, and accommodations there are much more hospitable than those on Ojom.

The Galactic Center iss a supermassive black hole that exists at the center of the galaxy. Its mass is estimated to be four million stellar masses. While no living sentient has ever witnessed it firsthand, probe droids had been sent to observe and confirm its existence.

Early in the planet's history, Prakith was a volatile, volcanic world, but was stable enough for exploration. Prakith's close proximity to the Galactic Core makes it a prime location for a hidden redoubt, and was one of the first Deep Core worlds to be civilized. It has a strong Mining Guild presence. Prakith's major cities are built atop the planet's large plateaus, surrounded on all sides by great caverns and crevasses. Since ground travel across such terrain proves difficult, natives often use cloud cars and airspeeders for transportation. The world is ruled by dictatorship and trade/mining based.

Ruan is an agriworld in the Core Worlds. Ruan is located on the Koros Trunk Line, between Kaikielius and Coruscant. It was one of 18 planets controlled by the Salliche Agricultural Corporation. The majority of Ruan's surface is farmland tended to as closely as a park, and kept as neat. Besides its favorable axial tilt and soil quality, Ruan's farming output is maximized by climate control, selective terraforming and crop engineering, and the use of labor droids.

Kaikielius is located on the Koros Trunk Line between Foerost and Ruan, linking Coruscant to the carbonite-producing worlds of the Deep Core. The planet occupies a strategically-vital position that throughout history makes it a target for fleets seeking to conquer Coruscant, whether from the Deep Core or from the Corellian Run via the Agricultural Circuit. Historically, Kaikielius is a rural and pastoral world, with the planetary capital based at Kesipli. The planet is heavily-urbanised after 5000 BBY in a desperate attempt to compete economically with the Koros Major system, and becomes known for poverty, pollution, and urban decay. "Ring-cities" develop as mayors walled-off city centers in an effort to contain crime while construction continues to expand in concentric rings of development.

Famous natural landmarks of Alderaan included the Cloudshape Falls and the Isatabith rainforest. A variety of grapevines grow on Alderaan, which notably allow them to produce Toniray and emerald wine. The local fauna includes the Alderaanian wolf-cat and a species of white-winged bird. The cities on Alderaan are carefully designed to respect the natural beauty of their environment. For example, the palace of the royal family and the city around it blend into the local snow-capped peaks. Alderaanian architecture made use of white synthstone, which inspires the architecture of certain mining economies of the Outer Rim Territories, like the floating colony of Cloud City, and the planets Lothal and Garel.

Caamas is a highly populated and marsh-covered Core World in the Cirius system, the second planet orbiting the star Cirius. It is notable for the devastation it suffers during an Imperial orbital bombardment which destroyed its ecosystem and nearly wiped out the native Caamasi. Caamas is a temperate, hospitable world of jungles, marshes, steppes, and rolling hills. Its dense rainforests and jungles teeming with life. After the Imperial bombardment, nearly all flora and fauna either disappear or are mutated beyond recognition. Caamas becomes a barren waste, and without vegetation to release oxygen, the atmosphere becomes toxic and unbreathable. The bombardment kicks up smoke and dust into the air, and the surface becomes wracked by dust storms and falling soot, eroding the surface and sending dirt and mud into the oceans. The waters, once teeming with sea life, become muddy, polluted, stagnant, and lifeless.

Skako is an ecumenopolis on the Hydian Way in the galactic core and homeworld to the Skakoan species.

It has unique atmospheric pressure and is the homeworld of eight-eyed, gasbag-headed vine walkers known as octuptarras.

Tyed Kant is an inhabited gas giant in the Core Worlds, near Demophon. It is the only planet in the Kantel system. Tyed Kant has a small habitable zone in the upper atmosphere where the air is breathable. This discovery leads to the manufacturing of floating ranches, supported by repulsorlift generators, to take advantage of the fertile atmosphere. These floating ranches cover half the visible surface of the planet. Even in the habitable zone, Tyed Kant's atmosphere contains a mix of many elements. The result is a breeding ground for bacteria and disease. Because of this, environment suits are recommended at all times, despite the air being capable of sustaining humanoid life. The most visible native species are the Iagoin, semi-intelligent creatures that float among the gaseous clouds.

Columus is a planet in the Columus system of the Core Worlds and the homeworld of the Columi species. A planet with extremely low gravity, Columus is geologically stable—a property that prevents the formation of mountains, rifts, or other similar geographic features, and gives the planet a low atmospheric pressure. As a result, Columus is a flat, muddy planet with weak winds and a shallow soil layer. Because of the lack of erosion, water has settled into the soil, though the bedrock of the planet has relatively few cracks. Despite this, the plant life of Columus develops in an immense variety. The planet's larger plants and trees develop root systems that extended horizontally through the soil, covering wide areas and providing themselves a solid support structure. Columus is covered by swamps and forests, and the cities of the Columi, among them Bailee, rises above the treetops on pylons and are dependent on heavily automated factories.

Fresia is the second planet from the star Fre'ji in the Fre'ji system of the Torranix sector in the Core Worlds region of the galaxy. Located between Galand and Cal-Seti on the hyperlane known as the Agricultural Circuit, it is a terrestrial world 10,308 kilometers in diameter, with a breathable atmosphere and standard gravity. As a result of extremely slow axial rotation, Fresia's day lasts 528 standard hours, while its year lasts 132 standard days. Fresia has seven moons, which produce complex and extreme tidal cycles. The world's climate is temperate but varies wildly, with violent storms occurring often, and its mean temperature is cool. The planet features oceans, and its terrain includes rocky islands and fractured archipelagoes. Fresia features an abundance of indigenous wildlife, including the Coromon headhunter, but reptiles and amphibians are rare due to the climate. The world serves as the headquarters of Incom Corporation. The Galactic Empire brings in many nonhuman slaves to work for nationalized Incom, most of whom lived on the Coromon Islands.

Cal-Seti is a planet located several sectors from N'zoth. It is at the intersection of the Agricultural Circuit and the Metellos Trade Route. The capital, Ramsees Hed, is an Imperial docking facility.

Galantos is the second planet in the Utos system on the Widek Bypass, near the Koornacht Cluster. Its first contact with the galactic community is quite ancient, as at least one Fian serves as a Jedi 500 years before the First Great Schism. The planet's surface is covered in smooth, pale green gelatinous bodies with continental islands. During large storms, the surface of Galantos rolls and shifts. Because Galantos' crust is severed into drifting tectonic plates, the islands are wracked with regular seismic vibrations known as gelquakes. Like many other planets in the Farlax sector, Galantos is rich with chromite deposits. The gelatin is an organic substance which provides life-giving nutrients to all life on the planet, including the indigenous sentient Fia. To protect their cities, the Fia build reinforced structures and have developed a transportation system built on balloons to avoid groundquake-sensitive roads. Despite their ingenuity, the Fia prefer the gelatin and only take to the landmasses to interact with outsiders. Most non-Fia live in the capital city of Gal'fian'deprisi where the planet's major starport is located. It is there that the Black Hammer Pirates have their headquarters.

An almost untouched world in the Koornacht Cluster, J't'p'tan (known to most simply as Doornik-628E) is settled by the H'kig, fleeing a conflict on Rishi. The planet is named after four sacred glyphs: "Jeh" (the Immanent), "Teh" (the Transcendent), "Peh" (the Eternal), and "Tan" (the Conscious Essence). Only the last of these glyphs is considered secular enough to be spelled out fully.

The planet's near-Human inhabitants, the Ensos, have built cities by chiseling them into the ice. Because the open ground on Ensolica consists entirely of coniferous forest and tundra, which is an entirely unworkable soil, Ensos are experts at hydroponics and constructing vast greenhouses in the ice. Because of their expertise in this field, Ensolica attracts the attention of corporations such as Alderaan Biotics and Tusus Comestibles.

N'zoth is an arid planet with standard gravity and an atmosphere breathable by most sentient creatures. The brutal, xenophobic Yevetha are the planet’s only sentient species, although other native species such as the siringana are equally merciless and brutal. Giat Nor is the capital city of both N’zoth and later the Duskhan League. The planet is the headquarters of Nazfar Metalworks.

Pollillus is the Troig homeworld. It is located beyond the Koornacht Cluster and is discovered shortly before the Invasion of Naboo. It is an impoverished, technologically backward world.

Hemei IV is a wealthy planet in the Galactic Core. It is the headquarters of the Bakur Mining Corporation and the Cosmic Balance religion. The Bakur Corporation colonizes Bakura in 150 BBY. The Balance faith dies out on Hemei IV, but survives on Bakura.

Condular is a planet of the Core Worlds and is home to the Grand Astrocartographic Institute.

Gandeal is a Planet in the Core Worlds and partner planet to the world of Fondor, a fortress world situated on the Corellian Trade Spine. It is one of the endpoints of the Gandeal-Fondor Hyperlane, which the Galactic Empire establishes to export raw materials from Gandeal to the Fondor Shipyards and Gandeal is used as a checkpoint for bulk freighters.

Balosar is a planet in the Core Worlds, and home to the Balosar species. It is a polluted, poverty-stricken world of grimy factories and downtrodden people, and a place where tourism is discouraged. Such an environment encourages many of the native Balosars to become criminals.

A highly industrialized world, the towers of Balosar rose so high that light could not penetrate deep enough to reach the surface. The suffocating amount of air pollution was so dense that the air was barely breathable, forcing the native Balosars to adapt to filter out poisonous substances from their bloodstream. Under the surface of the planet, the crust was pocked with cave systems which protected the balo mushrooms from the polluted surface.[1]

Lujo is a planet in the Core. It has a temperate climate, and is home to magnificent oceans and landscapes.

Shulxi is a Galactic Core world known for its beachside resorts.

Azbrian is an agricultural world of sweeping plains and grasslands, dotted with farms that raise the eight-legged herd animals known as dray beasts. One such farm is owned by Condren Foreck, a potential suitor to Lando Calrissian. The planet plays a minor part in the Yuuzhan Vong War as a base for the New Republic/Galactic Alliance. After the war the Galactic Alliance abandons the base. It is never a part of the Alliance until after the war. The planet turns out to be valuable during the Second Galactic Civil War.

Sestria is a banking world in the Testarr sector. It is considered corrupt and not as trustworthy as Muunilinst.

The planet becomes the site of Imperial shipyards when rumors are spread that the yards have been closed due to a hive virus. The Empire massacres over 450 people to lend credence to the rumor, leading to an evacuation of the world that has taken on a frightening reputation. The shipyards are secretly reopened to build Silencer-1 and other construction projects.

Frego is a wealthy planet controlled by a crime ring led by the Cobral family since 61 BBY. However, after Lena Cobral testifies in front of the Galactic Senate in 41 BBY, exposing Cobral's patronage from Frego's Senator Crote, Frego starts on the road to a new beginning. Nevertheless, the Cobral ring survives on Naboo.

The inhabitants of Frego were known as Fregans.

The Iphigin Spaceport Directorate guides all spacecraft approaching and leaving the planet.

Thracior is a planet located within the Thracior system of the Core Worlds. The planet is ruled by tribal Warlords. Wars periodically take place amongst the clans. Rival clans forbid interclan marriage, which can subject to capital punishment. The two best known tribes are Hnsi and Tantt.

Despite Abregado-rae's temperate climate, there is a very limited number of native species present, with less than ten species of large animals native to the planet. These includes two species of sentient beings: the tall, lanky Gados, which form the majority of planet's native population, and the small, low-intelligent Moochers (said to be related to the Atzerrian Meeks). Unlike most Core Worlds, Abregado-rae is fairly backward, to the point of being compared with worlds in the Outer Rim Territories. The planet's spaceports seem safe, at least to the untrained eye, but in fact are known as a smuggler's paradise.

The planet had many popular establishments including the LoBue Cantina, Lost Loves Casino, Njinska's Tavern, Starlight Theater, The Star of Chance, and the Triple Nova Casino. These were located in either Abregado-rae Spaceport or Le Yer, both of which attracted visitors from all parts of the galaxy (including Han Solo and Lando Calrissian on occasions). The city of Le Yer was a popular coastal resort, with its extension, Phyrstal Island accessible by hydrobikes or floatboats.

Abregado-rae was also one of the few planets where the rare metal electrum was found. It was known to occasionally bubble to the surface in the Gilt Gushers. This mineral could be used for crafting lightsabers with many unique qualities; Darth Sidious and Mace Windu both possessed lightsabers containing electrum.
A common song around the galaxy called "Calypso" can trace its origins back to Abregado-rae.[4]

Dentaal is a planet in the Core Worlds. Its main city is Calif City. It is ruled by the House of Dentaal until Imperial Governor Taliff disbands it; after they form the DIP and overthrew him, Crix Madine's Storm commandos wipe out much of the rebellious population by introducing the Candorian plague, which breaks out in Calif City and spreads over the entire Kindelian continent, killing over 10 billion people and eventually wipes out every single inhabitant on the planet. During a series of military manoeuvres on the planet, Madine simply disappears from the Imperial armed forces. The Empire later blames the plague on the Alliance. The Alliance, however, discovers that the plague is similar to a plague that is unleashed on Sedesia.

Most of the planet consists of rocky, rugged, and inhospitable mountains, with the occasional hill, plain, or valley. The bodies of water that pass for oceans are a pair of large seas of a murky mustard-brown color, a result of the heavy mineral sediment. The world has one city, Belgar, and several large scrapyards. Astrophysically, the planet orbits a binary sun. Matanya A is an orange sun while Matanya B is a smaller yellow sun. Two moons orbit Belgaroth: Tregan and Tyrel. The only other notable satellite is a small repair yard that can barely accommodate an Imperial-class Star Destroyer.

Steelious is a planet in the Core Worlds, near Yarrv. It is notoriously lax on customs enforcement, and its Hervack Spaceport is a major port for Rebel goods in its sector.

Yarrv is a tropical Core World planet of dense jungles, warm oceans and wide, sandy beaches. Yarrv is ruled by an elaborate monarchy of related royal families. The planetary society is separated into twenty individual castes, and the land is ruled by various barons. Each baron has a cross-section of the planet's castes within their realm.

Necropolis is a tombworld located on the Giju Run of the Core Worlds. It serves as a burial place for beings from all over the Core, and is the home of boneworms and cryptberries. The planet is originally known by the name Dahrtag. However, after the planet and its surrounding system is opened up to the rest of the galaxy, the name Necropolis is coined by many visitors in reference to the Necropolitans' reverence for their dead. Over time, the original name of Dahrtag is all but forgotten and remains only on military starcharts.

The Nebulas of Osssorck are a series of nebulae near Questal in the Core Worlds. Imperial cruisers have been destroyed within the Nebulas of Osssorck.

Questal is a planet in Questal sector, infamous during the Galactic Civil War as the stronghold of the sadistic Moff Bandor. Once a quiet agricultural colony, Questal is overrun by mining interests and crime following the discovery of ardanium around 0 ABY. Within a couple of years, Moff Bandor is installed by Emperor Palpatine to bring order to the planet, which he accomplishes with widespread arrests and speedy executions. He then promotes the planet's preexisting criminal tyrants to official positions of power, enabling them to continue their reigns of terror.

Atrisia (also called Kitel Phard) is an ancient planet with a widely varied ecosystem. The planet is governed by a planetary empire, and has been overseen by more than fifty-six Emperors in its history since the Kitel Phard Dynasty is founded in 25,200 BBY. These Emperors maintain control through the Yovshin Swordsmen and later the Atrisian Assault Corps; at Jar'Kai, the Yovshin Swordsmen develop Jar'Kai swords of galactic fame. The fifty-fourth Emperor, Uueg Tching of Kitel Phard, is made famous for this oft-referenced quote recorded in the Sayings: "There are three ways to defeat your enemy. The first, and most obvious, is to better him in a trial of force. The best way is to have him destroy himself…The middle way is to destroy your enemy from within."

Inysh is a planet the Galactic Empire strip-mines of kalonterium and leaves polluted. Imperial propaganda covers up this devastation by claiming the Abinyshi people wipe themselves out in a catastrophic civil war.

Its waves cover the ruins of an extinct civilization that died out 1,000,000 BBY. Most of its land mass is located at the equator in the form of archipelagos. In addition, there are two small mountainous continents. The planet has no moons but a set of rings orbit the planet. A standard day on Jerrilek is relatively short, and so its inhabitants have adopted a sleeping system in which they only sleep every other night.

Besero is a mining world. Tagge Mining Corporation has caused many problems for the bureaucrats of the world, contributing to their negative views of the company.

Kuar is a Deep Core world of flat, rocky, dusty plains. Kuar is the fifth planet in the Kuar system, orbiting a single star. The planet lies on the Koros Trunk Line between Koros Major and Foerost.

Its main export is Carbonite.

Originally an unspoiled world with a wide array of flora and fauna, Vulpter was transformed over the millennia into a massively polluted globe covered in waste and factories. This means that the planet is now unable to sustain itself in terms of agriculture, and is thus entirely reliant on importing foodstuffs from other worlds. Vulpter is a noted producer of starships, and is home to one of the galaxy's largest podracer factories. Several corporations, such as Viper Sensor Intelligence Systems and Arakyd Industries, operate facilities on this planet.

A verdant world that is incredibly rich in the Force, Tython was inhabited by an unknown species hundreds of thousands of years before the rise of the Galactic Empire, and it was visited by both the Gree and Kwa, two of the earliest species to have achieved interstellar travel. The Je'daii soon realized that Tython was unsafe for those who could not sense the Force, and as a result, the Tythans spread out to settle the other worlds of the Tython system.

Dremulae is a wealthy resort world known for the natural beauty of its Sea of Translucency.

A frozen ocean world in the Deep Core, Ojom is the homeworld of the Besalisk, a four-armed species. Because of the oceanic nature of the planet, Besalisks survived by creating a commune upon the many glaciers adrift on the world's oceans. Despite the several separate communities, the planet is sparsely populated. Many space stations orbited the world, and the populations on these stations actually exceed that of those communities planetside. The stations fill the role of starports for the planet, and accommodations there are much more hospitable than those on Ojom.

The Galactic Center iss a supermassive black hole that exists at the center of the galaxy. Its mass is estimated to be four million stellar masses. While no living sentient has ever witnessed it firsthand, probe droids had been sent to observe and confirm its existence.

Early in the planet's history, Prakith was a volatile, volcanic world, but was stable enough for exploration. Prakith's close proximity to the Galactic Core makes it a prime location for a hidden redoubt, and was one of the first Deep Core worlds to be civilized. It has a strong Mining Guild presence. Prakith's major cities are built atop the planet's large plateaus, surrounded on all sides by great caverns and crevasses. Since ground travel across such terrain proves difficult, natives often use cloud cars and airspeeders for transportation. The world is ruled by dictatorship and trade/mining based.

The Xa Fel born here are genetically disfigured and all living resources are imported to the planet - breathing mask required.

Metellos has an extremely high population of roughly 900 billion, and is a large producer of energy. Metellos contains seventeen immense stratablocks, which rise far above the surrounding land. Large tracts of shabby, toxic, extremely poor regions, as well as heavy industrial areas, lay between these stratablocks. To compensate for the overcrowding, over 1,000 floating cities were created for the rich. These cities were designed to resemble the magnificent floating cities of Ithor, though the design is considered by many to be blocky and ugly.

Stassia is a small planet with a tolerant people who are more concerned with reading the weather and the flora of the planet to consider wider galactic issues.

Ralltiir has twenty-eight moons and three continents that wrap around the planet. A major financial center in the galactic economy, Ralltiir remains largely neutral in galactic politics to ensure that the finances of its inhabitants remain safe from political influences and war. Ralltiir is one of the only planets in the Darpa sector to remain independent from the Esselian Empire. Besides its financial services, Ralltiir is also a major source of marble, as the planet's mountain ranges featured large deposits of marble and are riddled with quarries.

Brentaal IV, known more commonly as Brentaal, is a planet in the Brentaal system of the Core Worlds's Bormea sector and one that occupies what was arguably the most valuable location in the entire galaxy: the intersection of the Hydian Way and the Perlemian Trade Route, two of the galaxy's major hyperlanes. The fourth planet in orbit around the star Brenta, Brentaal has two moons and is located in the Ringali Shell, a string of star systems along the Perlemian that were near the Ringali Nebula. An arid world with warm and temperate weather, Brentaal features two large polar caps and an equator marked by deserts and steaming oceans; most of the planet's available land is dominated by warehouses, cargo holding facilities, commerce exchanges, and other trade-related structures. Brentaal's capital of Cormond and its Trade Hall are the seat of power on the planet, with the hundreds of Brentaal Houses—the influential families that run the planet's trade guilds—representing the citizens in Brentaal's democratic government.

Esseles was under constant volcanic activity by 10,000,000 BBY. The planet has a population of 24 billion and is covered in many high, steep, rugged, volcanic mountain chains. The atmosphere is heavy, and so it has a warm, wet climate.

Coruscant, originally called Notron, also known as Imperial Center or the Queen of the Core, is a planet located in the Galactic Core. It is generally agreed that Coruscant is, during most of galactic history, the most politically important world in the galaxy. At various times, it is the capital of the Galactic Republic, the Galactic Empire, the New Republic, the Yuuzhan Vong empire, the Galactic Alliance, very briefly the Fel Empire, Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire, and the Galactic Federation Triumvirate. In controlling Coruscant, these governments control most of the galaxy in the process. Over the centuries, Coruscant has 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 is called Galactic City. Under the Galactic Republic, the names Republic City or the City of Spires are also used to reference the city. It is 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 are sometimes applied to the Senate District, the central government center and de facto capital of Coruscant. Under the Yuuzhan Vong, the city and planet are both referred to as Yuuzhan'tar.

Ruan is an agriworld in the Core Worlds. Ruan is located on the Koros Trunk Line, between Kaikielius and Coruscant. It was one of 18 planets controlled by the Salliche Agricultural Corporation. The majority of Ruan's surface is farmland tended to as closely as a park, and kept as neat. Besides its favorable axial tilt and soil quality, Ruan's farming output is maximized by climate control, selective terraforming and crop engineering, and the use of labor droids.

Kaikielius is located on the Koros Trunk Line between Foerost and Ruan, linking Coruscant to the carbonite-producing worlds of the Deep Core. The planet occupies a strategically-vital position that throughout history makes it a target for fleets seeking to conquer Coruscant, whether from the Deep Core or from the Corellian Run via the Agricultural Circuit. Historically, Kaikielius is a rural and pastoral world, with the planetary capital based at Kesipli. The planet is heavily-urbanised after 5000 BBY in a desperate attempt to compete economically with the Koros Major system, and becomes known for poverty, pollution, and urban decay. "Ring-cities" develop as mayors walled-off city centers in an effort to contain crime while construction continues to expand in concentric rings of development.

Foerost is a Core planet on the Koros Trunk Line between Kuar and Kaikielius. It is orbited by the Foerost Shipyards, which is one of the Republic's largest and oldest shipyards. The shipyards' engineers remove raw materials from the planet and transport them to the shipyards in high orbit.

Spira is a popular resort world of beautiful beaches. It has a low axial tilt, which gives it a large temperate zone over much of its surface.

Tepasi is a planet located within the Tepasi system of the Core Worlds. A forested world situated on the Commenor Run, it is colonized by Humans before 26,000 BBY and is already emerging as a hub of commerce when it becomes a founding member of the Galactic Republic. In 200 BBY, Tarzen Tagge provides aid to the planet after it experiences a series of groundquakes, precipitating the crime lord's founding of the Tagge Company. Tepasi remains loyal to the Republic during the Clone Wars, and after the death of Emperor Palpatine it is the site of the crumbling Tagge Company's only remaining facility. Tepasi is located within a star system of the same name in the Core Worlds region of the galaxy. It is situated on the Commenor Run, a hyperlane which connects it to Esseles and Korfo II. The planet is susceptible to groundquakes, and forests, which support predatory achtnaks, are present on its surface. Unlos Tagge is a city on Tepasi.

From space, the planet of Alderaan, located in the star system of the same name, appears as a blue-green orb enveloped in a white web of clouds. Its surface has vast bodies of water and is covered in snow-capped mountains, with patches of green grassy hills. Alderaan is known to the galaxy as "the planet of beauty." Famous natural landmarks of Alderaan included the Cloudshape Falls and the Isatabith rainforest. A variety of grapevines grow on Alderaan, which notably allow them to produce Toniray and emerald wine. The local fauna includes the Alderaanian wolf-cat and a species of white-winged bird. The cities on Alderaan are carefully designed to respect the natural beauty of their environment. For example, the palace of the royal family and the city around it blend into the local snow-capped peaks. Alderaanian architecture made use of white synthstone, which inspires the architecture of certain mining economies of the Outer Rim Territories, like the floating colony of Cloud City, and the planets Lothal and Garel.

Caamas is a highly populated and marsh-covered Core World in the Cirius system, the second planet orbiting the star Cirius. It is notable for the devastation it suffers during an Imperial orbital bombardment which destroyed its ecosystem and nearly wiped out the native Caamasi. Caamas is a temperate, hospitable world of jungles, marshes, steppes, and rolling hills. Its dense rainforests and jungles teeming with life. After the Imperial bombardment, nearly all flora and fauna either disappear or are mutated beyond recognition. Caamas becomes a barren waste, and without vegetation to release oxygen, the atmosphere becomes toxic and unbreathable. The bombardment kicks up smoke and dust into the air, and the surface becomes wracked by dust storms and falling soot, eroding the surface and sending dirt and mud into the oceans.

Skako is an ecumenopolis on the Hydian Way in the galactic core and homeworld to the Skakoan species. Though most of Skako is covered by urban sprawl, some examples of the planet's original ecosystem have been preserved in the form of vast fields of sprawling vines. Located in the galaxy's Core Worlds, the planet Skako sits between Brentaal and Fedalle on the Hydian Way hyperspace route. It has unique atmospheric pressure and is the homeworld of eight-eyed, gasbag-headed vine walkers known as octuptarras.

Tyed Kant is an inhabited gas giant in the Core Worlds, near Demophon. It is the only planet in the Kantel system. Tyed Kant has a small habitable zone in the upper atmosphere where the air is breathable. This discovery leads to the manufacturing of floating ranches, supported by repulsorlift generators, to take advantage of the fertile atmosphere. These floating ranches cover half the visible surface of the planet. Even in the habitable zone, Tyed Kant's atmosphere contains a mix of many elements. The result is a breeding ground for bacteria and disease. Because of this, environment suits are recommended at all times, despite the air being capable of sustaining humanoid life. The most visible native species are the Iagoin, semi-intelligent creatures that float among the gaseous clouds.

It is named for Alres Demophon, one of the founders of the Republic Scout Service. Demophon is a heavily industrialized world, containing many industrial complexes due to the abundance of uncommon resources. Prior to its ultimate destruction during the Galactic Civil War, Demophon's sun was unstable and approaching supernova. The resultant radiation requires all cities to be completely covered by transparent domes made of a neutronium alloy. Stripped of its ecosystem , the planet is a barren wasteland. Outside the cities, the temperatures ranged from 35 degrees Celsius to as low as 40 degrees below zero.

Kuat is a planet located in the Core Worlds and one of the earliest members of the Galactic Republic. It is best known as the home of Kuat Drive Yards. These famous shipyards, which build ships for both the Galactic Republic and later the Galactic Empire, circle the planet for thousands of kilometers.

Hrekin Thorm represents Fedalle in both the Imperial Senate and the New Republic Senate.

An aquatic planet, Pria's temperate oceans are inhabited by several different species of sentient beings, with the Priapulins dominating the food-chain. Forming a symbiotic relationship with the crustacean-like Crast species, the Priapulins have a society based on peace and mutual respect. Orbited by a single moon, the planet experiences two tidal cycles each day, with each tidal hour equal to ten standard hours. Suffering from tectonic activity, the planet's landmasses are constantly moving and changing shape causing violent shifts in global temperatures as more volcanoes emerged. As a result it is estimated that the planet undergoes an ice age every 10,000 years.

Ruul is a planet in the Ruul system of the Core Worlds. It falls into the hands of the Galactic Empire, which imports Human prisoners to the planet and strip-mines it.

Sarapin is a volcanic world in the Sarapin system, between Neimoidia and the Treskov system. It has ashy soil and streams of lava flowing across its surface.

Columus is a planet in the Columus system of the Core Worlds and the homeworld of the Columi species. A planet with extremely low gravity, Columus is geologically stable—a property that prevents the formation of mountains, rifts, or other similar geographic features, and gives the planet a low atmospheric pressure. As a result, Columus is a flat, muddy planet with weak winds and a shallow soil layer. Because of the lack of erosion, water has settled into the soil, though the bedrock of the planet has relatively few cracks. Despite this, the plant life of Columus develops in an immense variety. The planet's larger plants and trees develop root systems that extended horizontally through the soil, covering wide areas and providing themselves a solid support structure. Columus is covered by swamps and forests, and the cities of the Columi, among them Bailee, rises above the treetops on pylons and are dependent on heavily automated factories.

Lettow is a planet in the Lettow system of the Core Worlds, just on the border of the Deep Core. Early in the Galactic Republic's history, the planet serves as the headquarters of the Dark Jedi of the Legions of Lettow, and the First Great Schism between the Legions and the Jedi Order ends in a final battle on Lettow.

Nubia is a small, temperate world located in the Nubus system on the outer edge of the Core Worlds. It is the headquarters of Nubian Star Drives, Inc., developers of parts for starships, including the hyperdrive for the Naboo cruisers. It is also headquarters for Industrial Automaton, TradeCo, Inc., and the massive PharmCorp. Although not heavily urbanized and with a relatively rural landscape and economic backbone (by the standards of the heavily developed Core Worlds), Nubia is always considered a deserving member of the title of 'Core World' and all its associated connotations. It is viewed as a planet whose population appreciated great beauty (as symbolized by their graceful starships) and a close relationship with the natural environment of their world, as well as enjoying the cosmopolitan lifestyle and pursuits of their counterparts on planets such as Coruscant or Kuat. Its capital is Nuba City.

Duro (also known as Duros) is the heavily polluted and depopulated homeworld of the Duros species. Located on the Corellian Trade Spine in the Core, the planet itself is mostly abandoned, mainly housing food processing plants. Most of the population live in one of the twenty orbiting cities. Duro is also home to a large number of orbital shipyards.

Fresia is the second planet from the star Fre'ji in the Fre'ji system of the Torranix sector in the Core Worlds region of the galaxy. Located between Galand and Cal-Seti on the hyperlane known as the Agricultural Circuit, it is a terrestrial world 10,308 kilometers in diameter, with a breathable atmosphere and standard gravity. As a result of extremely slow axial rotation, Fresia's day lasts 528 standard hours, while its year lasts 132 standard days. Fresia has seven moons, which produce complex and extreme tidal cycles. The world's climate is temperate but varies wildly, with violent storms occurring often, and its mean temperature is cool. The planet features oceans, and its terrain includes rocky islands and fractured archipelagoes. Fresia features an abundance of indigenous wildlife, including the Coromon headhunter, but reptiles and amphibians are rare due to the climate. The world serves as the headquarters of Incom Corporation. The Galactic Empire brings in many nonhuman slaves to work for nationalized Incom, most of whom lived on the Coromon Islands.

Cal-Seti is a planet located several sectors from N'zoth. It is at the intersection of the Agricultural Circuit and the Metellos Trade Route. The capital, Ramsees Hed, is an Imperial docking facility.

Galantos is the second planet in the Utos system on the Widek Bypass, near the Koornacht Cluster. Its first contact with the galactic community is quite ancient, as at least one Fian serves as a Jedi 500 years before the First Great Schism. The planet's surface is covered in smooth, pale green gelatinous bodies with continental islands. During large storms, the surface of Galantos rolls and shifts. Because Galantos' crust is severed into drifting tectonic plates, the islands are wracked with regular seismic vibrations known as gelquakes. Like many other planets in the Farlax sector, Galantos is rich with chromite deposits. The gelatin is an organic substance which provides life-giving nutrients to all life on the planet, including the indigenous sentient Fia. To protect their cities, the Fia build reinforced structures and have developed a transportation system built on balloons to avoid groundquake-sensitive roads. Despite their ingenuity, the Fia prefer the gelatin and only take to the landmasses to interact with outsiders. Most non-Fia live in the capital city of Gal'fian'deprisi where the planet's major starport is located. It is there that the Black Hammer Pirates have their headquarters.

An almost untouched world in the Koornacht Cluster, J't'p'tan (known to most simply as Doornik-628E) is settled by the H'kig, fleeing a conflict on Rishi. The planet is named after four sacred glyphs: "Jeh" (the Immanent), "Teh" (the Transcendent), "Peh" (the Eternal), and "Tan" (the Conscious Essence). Only the last of these glyphs is considered secular enough to be spelled out fully.

The planet's near-Human inhabitants, the Ensos, have built cities by chiseling them into the ice. Because the open ground on Ensolica consists entirely of coniferous forest and tundra, which is an entirely unworkable soil, Ensos are experts at hydroponics and constructing vast greenhouses in the ice. Because of their expertise in this field, Ensolica attracts the attention of corporations such as Alderaan Biotics and Tusus Comestibles.

N'zoth is an arid planet with standard gravity and an atmosphere breathable by most sentient creatures.

Balosar is a planet in the Core Worlds, and home to the Balosar species. It is a polluted, poverty-stricken world of grimy factories and downtrodden people, and a place where tourism is discouraged. Such an environment encourages many of the native Balosars to become criminals.

A highly industrialized world, the towers of Balosar rose so high that light could not penetrate deep enough to reach the surface. The suffocating amount of air pollution was so dense that the air was barely breathable, forcing the native Balosars to adapt to filter out poisonous substances from their bloodstream. Under the surface of the planet, the crust was pocked with cave systems which protected the balo mushrooms from the polluted surface.[1]

Lujo is a planet in the Core. It has a temperate climate, and is home to magnificent oceans and landscapes.

Shulxi is a Galactic Core world known for its beachside resorts.

Azbrian is an agricultural world of sweeping plains and grasslands, dotted with farms that raise the eight-legged herd animals known as dray beasts. One such farm is owned by Condren Foreck, a potential suitor to Lando Calrissian. The planet plays a minor part in the Yuuzhan Vong War as a base for the New Republic/Galactic Alliance. After the war the Galactic Alliance abandons the base. It is never a part of the Alliance until after the war. The planet turns out to be valuable during the Second Galactic Civil War.

The Iphigin Spaceport Directorate guides all spacecraft approaching and leaving the planet.

Thracior is a planet located within the Thracior system of the Core Worlds. The planet is ruled by tribal Warlords. Wars periodically take place amongst the clans. Rival clans forbid interclan marriage, which can subject to capital punishment. The two best known tribes are Hnsi and Tantt.

Despite Abregado-rae's temperate climate, there is a very limited number of native species present, with less than ten species of large animals native to the planet. These includes two species of sentient beings: the tall, lanky Gados, which form the majority of planet's native population, and the small, low-intelligent Moochers (said to be related to the Atzerrian Meeks). Unlike most Core Worlds, Abregado-rae is fairly backward, to the point of being compared with worlds in the Outer Rim Territories. The planet's spaceports seem safe, at least to the untrained eye, but in fact are known as a smuggler's paradise.

The planet had many popular establishments including the LoBue Cantina, Lost Loves Casino, Njinska's Tavern, Starlight Theater, The Star of Chance, and the Triple Nova Casino. These were located in either Abregado-rae Spaceport or Le Yer, both of which attracted visitors from all parts of the galaxy (including Han Solo and Lando Calrissian on occasions). The city of Le Yer was a popular coastal resort, with its extension, Phyrstal Island accessible by hydrobikes or floatboats.

Abregado-rae was also one of the few planets where the rare metal electrum was found. It was known to occasionally bubble to the surface in the Gilt Gushers. This mineral could be used for crafting lightsabers with many unique qualities; Darth Sidious and Mace Windu both possessed lightsabers containing electrum.
A common song around the galaxy called "Calypso" can trace its origins back to Abregado-rae.[4]

Dentaal is a planet in the Core Worlds. Its main city is Calif City. It is ruled by the House of Dentaal until Imperial Governor Taliff disbands it; after they form the DIP and overthrew him, Crix Madine's Storm commandos wipe out much of the rebellious population by introducing the Candorian plague, which breaks out in Calif City and spreads over the entire Kindelian continent, killing over 10 billion people and eventually wipes out every single inhabitant on the planet. During a series of military manoeuvres on the planet, Madine simply disappears from the Imperial armed forces. The Empire later blames the plague on the Alliance. The Alliance, however, discovers that the plague is similar to a plague that is unleashed on Sedesia.

Most of the planet consists of rocky, rugged, and inhospitable mountains, with the occasional hill, plain, or valley. The bodies of water that pass for oceans are a pair of large seas of a murky mustard-brown color, a result of the heavy mineral sediment. The world has one city, Belgar, and several large scrapyards. Astrophysically, the planet orbits a binary sun. Matanya A is an orange sun while Matanya B is a smaller yellow sun. Two moons orbit Belgaroth: Tregan and Tyrel. The only other notable satellite is a small repair yard that can barely accommodate an Imperial-class Star Destroyer.

Steelious is a planet in the Core Worlds, near Yarrv. It is notoriously lax on customs enforcement, and its Hervack Spaceport is a major port for Rebel goods in its sector.

Yarrv is a tropical Core World planet of dense jungles, warm oceans and wide, sandy beaches. Yarrv is ruled by an elaborate monarchy of related royal families. The planetary society is separated into twenty individual castes, and the land is ruled by various barons. Each baron has a cross-section of the planet's castes within their realm.

Necropolis is a tombworld located on the Giju Run of the Core Worlds. It serves as a burial place for beings from all over the Core, and is the home of boneworms and cryptberries. The planet is originally known by the name Dahrtag. However, after the planet and its surrounding system is opened up to the rest of the galaxy, the name Necropolis is coined by many visitors in reference to the Necropolitans' reverence for their dead. Over time, the original name of Dahrtag is all but forgotten and remains only on military starcharts.

The Nebulas of Osssorck are a series of nebulae near Questal in the Core Worlds. Imperial cruisers have been destroyed within the Nebulas of Osssorck.

Questal is a planet in Questal sector, infamous during the Galactic Civil War as the stronghold of the sadistic Moff Bandor. Once a quiet agricultural colony, Questal is overrun by mining interests and crime following the discovery of ardanium around 0 ABY. Within a couple of years, Moff Bandor is installed by Emperor Palpatine to bring order to the planet, which he accomplishes with widespread arrests and speedy executions. He then promotes the planet's preexisting criminal tyrants to official positions of power, enabling them to continue their reigns of terror.

Atrisia (also called Kitel Phard) is an ancient planet with a widely varied ecosystem. The planet is governed by a planetary empire, and has been overseen by more than fifty-six Emperors in its history since the Kitel Phard Dynasty is founded in 25,200 BBY. These Emperors maintain control through the Yovshin Swordsmen and later the Atrisian Assault Corps; at Jar'Kai, the Yovshin Swordsmen develop Jar'Kai swords of galactic fame. The fifty-fourth Emperor, Uueg Tching of Kitel Phard, is made famous for this oft-referenced quote recorded in the Sayings: "There are three ways to defeat your enemy. The first, and most obvious, is to better him in a trial of force. The best way is to have him destroy himself…The middle way is to destroy your enemy from within."

Inysh is a planet the Galactic Empire strip-mines of kalonterium and leaves polluted. Imperial propaganda covers up this devastation by claiming the Abinyshi people wipe themselves out in a catastrophic civil war.
