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.
Centerpoint Station
An enormous grey-white space station in the Corellian system, located at the balance point between the twin worlds of Talus and Tralus. Centerpoint presumably draws its power from the gravitational interflux between the Double Worlds. The ancient station, built before the invention of artificial grav, spins on its axis to provide centrifugal gravity. It is composed of a central sphere one hundred kilometers in diameter, with long, thick cylinders jutting from either side of the globe. The ends of the cylinders are referred to as the North and South Poles. The entire station is approximately three hundred fifty kilometers in length, even larger than the infamous Death Star. Centerpoint's simulated gravity becomes stronger the farther "down" one travels in the sphere, away from the axis of rotation. Several studies have been made on shifting the station over to artificial grav, but they have been abandoned due to expense and unknown side- effects. Centerpoint is completely covered with a bewildering array of piping, cables, antennae, cone structures and access ports; it would take several lifetimes to explore the vast and complex interior and exterior of the station.
Hollowtown is the name given to the open sphere in the exact center of the station, which measures sixty kilometers in diameter. The walls of Hollowtown have long been colonized with homes, parks, lakes, orchards, and farmland, which received heat and light from the Glowpoint-- an artificial sun suspended in the exact center of the sphere. To simulate night, farmers installed adjustable shadow-shields, which appeared as bright patches of gold or silver from above. On both sides of the Hollowtown sphere, positioned along the spin axis, is a large cone ringed by six smaller cones; the sets are called the North and South Conical Mountains. Surrounding Hollowtown, and making up the remainder of the central sphere, are two thousand levels of decks and "shells" (decks which measure twenty meters high or more), with Shell One lying closest to Hollowtown.
Centerpoint is believed to be a hyperspace repulsor, used in ancient times to transport the five Corellian planets into their current orbits from an unknown location. At some point the station was colonized, and Hollowtown-- which is actually a power-containment battery for the massive energy of firing a tractor- repulsor hyperspace burst-- became inhabited. Centerpoint remained stable for thousands of years, until the Saccorian Triad discovered that the station could destroy stars with a precise hyperspace shot from its South Pole. Two stars were targeted and destroyed, each accompanied by intense flareups in the Glowpoint. The small sun increased in heat so rapidly that Hollowtown and most of its inhabitants were completely incinerated during the first such incident. The Fed-Dub government immediately evacuated the remaining Centerpoint inhabitants to the Double Worlds, leaving Chief Operations Officer Jenica Sonsen in charge of the station. When word spread of the Hollowtown disaster it sparked several rebellions on Talus and Tralus. A group of starfighters representing one of the rebellions claimed the nearly-abandoned station for themselves, until chased off by a Bakuran cruiser. The massive interdiction and jamming fields, thrown over the entire Corellian system, were also generated from Centerpoint and activated by the Triad. The Triad's fleet was later defeated by New Republic and Bakuran forces, and the planned destruction of Bovo Yagen was averted at the last instant when a shot from the repulsor on Drall disrupted Centerpoint's firing process.
Corell
The star of the Corellian System
Corellia
Corellia, located in the Corellian sector and system, orbits the star Corell with four other habitable planets. The inhabited worlds are called the Five Brothers, and Corellia is often referred to as the Elder Brother. Corellia is an attractive world, with farms and small towns located between rolling hills, fields, and pockets of razor grass. Animal life includes the Corellian sea ray and the Corellian sand panther, a dangerous predator with poisoned claws. Points of interest include the Gold Beaches, the mid-size town of Bela Vistal, and the capital city of Coronet, located on the coast. Unlike many cities, Coronet has many wide open spaces-- small buildings and trading stalls separated by parks and plazas. The center of government in Coronet is the twenty-story Corona House, formerly inhabited by sector Governor-General Micamberlecto.
Treasure Ship Row in Coronet, adjacent to Meteor Way and Starline Avenue, was formerly an eclectic bazaar catering to species from every corner of the galaxy. The galactic civil war and the
Corellians' increasing isolation, however, caused a sharp decline in the trading industry, and Treasure Ship Row and other areas like it are now deserted. Although all three Corellian species (human, Selonian, and Drall) mingle freely in Coronet, the collapse of the Empire's central authority has led to separatist sentiment and anti-alien factions like the Human League. Beneath the surface of Corellia lies a vast network of tunnels built over thousands of years and home to many Selonians. Archeological excavation has recently begun on a series of underground chambers dating from pre-Republic days. Within this ancient complex is a vast planetary repulsor, once used to move the planet to its current orbit from an unknown location. Corellia was formerly ruled by a royal family, but became a republic three centuries ago after Berethon e Solo introduced democracy to the system. Three years after the Battle of Endor, the main Imperial battle fleets garrisoned key worlds, including Corellia and Kuat, due to their valuable shipyards. Fourteen years after Endor, a riot in the Selonian enclave of Bela Vistal touched off widespread chaos and triggered the takeover of Corellia's government by Thrackan Sal-Solo and the Human League. The Human League was defeated, and Sal-Solo captured, by the intervention of the New Republic and a Bakuran task force.
Corellian Trade Spine
Also known as the Corellian Trade Spine, the Spine is located near the Ison Corridor and scattered throughout with Duros
maintenance depots. Bespin Motors has been highly successful in selling their cloud cars to the urbanized and overpopulated
industry worlds along the Trade Spine. Admiral Daala lay in wait for targets at a hyperspace node on the far end of the Spine, where ships bound for Anoat or Bespin would have to drop into realspace to recalibrate their navigation instruments. This trade route connects Sectors 12, 27, 43, 59, and 75.
Drall
One of the five inhabited worlds in the Corellian system, Drall is a pleasant, temperate planet with a lighter gravity than standard. During the summer, temperatures can reach levels high enough to cause portions of the landlocked Boiling Sea to actually boil, until it is cooled by winter precipitation. The planet is the homeworld of the short, furred aliens also known as Drall. The tidy, sensible Drall formerly hibernated during Drall's winter season, though most have abandoned the practice today. The species is known for its cautious nature, its honesty, and its meticulous skill at record-keeping. The planetary unit of currency is the Drallish crown. Other life on the planet includes the nannarium flower and many varied species of Drallish aviars. A vast, subterranean planetary repulsor is located near Drall's equator-- presumably used in ancient times to move the planet into its current orbit from an unknown location. One of the workers in the contract-labor mining camp on Dellalt was a Drall.
During his tenure with the Corellian Security Force, Rogue Squadron pilot Corran Horn planted a false report implying that he had murdered six smugglers on Drall. The report was created so Horn and his supervisor could stage a public falling-out and remove suspicions of their working together to flee the Empire, but an Imperial death warrant was issued on Horn for the imaginary crime. During the starbuster crisis fourteen years after the Battle of Endor, Chewbacca took the Solo children and their tutor Ebrihim to Drall to stay with Ebrihim's aunt, the Duchess Marcha of Mastigophorous. The group discovered Drall's planetary repulsor, and Anakin Solo instinctively made it operational. A shot from the repulsor, fired by Anakin Solo, disabled Centerpoint Station and saved the star Bovo Yagen from destruction at the last possible instant. After the crisis, Leia Organa Solo was planning to appoint Duchess Marcha as the new Governor General of the Corellian sector.
Gus Treta
A large spaceport located in the Corellian system. Alliance hero Wedge Antilles' parents were managers of a fueling depot in outer Gus Treta until they were killed in a fueling mishap caused by a fleeing pirate ship.
JAHA Station
The home of JAHA Mechanics and Manufacturing. The station is approximately 2000km in diameter with turrets at it's circumference spaced at 50km intervals. These are unmanned and have "fire-back" capability or can be controlled from the command centre and are capable of taking down small fighters such as TIE fighters and X wings.
The station has a repulsor system that is constantly being used to adjust the station's orbit around Corell. It takes 15 standard minutes to launch the station through hyperspace. The station contains at least 14 dry docks, some capable of being used to construct Capitol Ships as large Victory class Star Destroyers.
Selonia
One of the five inhabited worlds in the Corellian system, Selonia has a clean blue sky and a surface composed of hundreds of islands separated by innumerable seas, inlets, and bays. Terrain on the many islands includes meadows, woodlands, and rolling hills. The small land areas are evenly distributed around the planet-- no point on land is more than 150 kilometers from the water, and no water is more than 200 kilometers from land. Famous sights on the world include the Cloudland Peaks. Beneath the surface of Selonia is a powerful planetary repulsor, which was used in ancient times to transport the planet into its current orbit from an unknown location. Selonia is the homeworld of the alien species known as Selonians, who have thick tails, sleek fur, and long faces filled with needle-sharp teeth. Selonians are hive animals, who live together in genetically-related dens. Each den is made up of one fertile female (the queen, who gives birth to all members of a den), a few fertile males, and several hundred sterile females. All sterile females with the same father are said to be in the same "sept," and members of a sept are genetically identical. It is the sterile females who interact with other species and perform all the important functions of Selonian life; the fertile Selonians are treated merely as breeding stock. Selonians make poor liars and have a deep psychological need to reach a consensus among each other, even if the resulting agreement does not always make sense. Selonians are often comfortable inhabiting underground tunnels and warrens.
Many years ago, a Selonian den tried to cheat other members of their same den. For this dishonor, the perpetrators were exiled from Selonia and Corellia, and eventually settled on Sacorria. Fourteen years after the Battle of Endor, two Selonian factions-- the Republicists and the Absolutists-- struggled for control of the planetary repulsor. The Republicists intended to turn it over to the New Republic in exchange for Selonian sovereignty, while the Absolutists planned to use it as a weapon for the creation of Selonian independence. The Hunchuzuc Den, allied with the Republicists and the Chanzari Den, proposed to use Han Solo as a bargaining chip to open negotiations with the New Republic. The Overden, the ruling power on Selonia and allied with the Absolutists, won the Hunchuzuc over to their side when they claimed to control the Selonian repulsor. Kleyvits, representing the Overden, held Leia Organa Solo captive and tried to force her to recognize Selonia's independence from the New Republic. When it was revealed that the dishonored Saccorian Selonians were actually operating the repulsor, the Overden suddenly lost all power in favor of the Hunchuzuc Den. During the crisis, a Bakuran attack force led a diversionary assault on Selonia and one of its ships was destroyed by Selonia's repulsor.
Talus
One of the five habitable planets in the Corellian system, Talus is a blue, white and green world the same size as its sister planet Tralus, and both orbit a common center of gravity (where Centerpoint Station is located). Together they are referred to as the Double Worlds, and both are ruled by the elected Federation of the Double Worlds, or Fed-Dub. Beneath the surface of Talus is a planetary repulsor, which was used in ancient times to move the planet into its current orbit from an unknown location. When a flare-up in Centerpoint Station (fourteen years after the Battle of Endor) caused many deaths, the survivors were relocated to Talus and Tralus. When word spread of the incident, a rebellion against Fed-Dub occurred on Talus. A group of starfighters, possibly representing the Talus rebellion, subsequently flew to Centerpoint and claimed the station for themselves, until chased off by a Bakuran task force.
Tralus
One of the five habitable planets in the Corellian system, Talus is a blue, white and green world the same size as its sister planet Talus, and both orbit a common center of gravity (where Centerpoint Station is located). Together they are referred to as the Double Worlds, and both are ruled by the elected Federation of the Double Worlds, or Fed-Dub. Beneath the surface of Tralus is a planetary repulsor, which was used in ancient times to move the planet into its current orbit from an unknown location. When a flare-up in Centerpoint Station (fourteen years after the Battle of Endor) caused many deaths, the survivors were relocated to Talus and Tralus. When word spread of the incident, two rebellions against Fed-Dub occurred on Tralus. A group of starfighters, possibly representing one of the Tralus rebellions, subsequently flew to Centerpoint and claimed the station for themselves, until chased off by a Bakuran task force.
