The Core Worlds (also known as the Galactic Core and during the Imperial Period, the Imperial Core) were some of the most prestigious, well-developed, well-known, and heavily populated planets in the galaxy. In astrophysical terms, the Core denoted the central area of the galaxy, and in broad terms this was true enough, but the precise usage of the term was sometimes more complex.[1] The Core Worlds "occupied a C-shaped region of space around the Deep Core, the heart of the astrophysical core (generally considered to be a separate outlier area), extending outwards towards the Unknown Regions."[1]

History

Astrography

Aside from the traditional region divisions, the Core Worlds are divided further based on the navigational elements such as the galactic coordinates of Coruscant (0, 0, 0) during the Old Republic era or major hyperlanes, such as the Perlemian Trade Route or the Corellian Run. From the northwest, moving clockwise, the Core World consist of:

  • The Negs (a region with negative east-west coordinate number under the old coordinate system)[2]
  • Northern Dependencies (a region north of Coruscant and the Perlemian Trade Route with the Negs as the western boundary)[3]
  • Arrowhead (also known as the Inner Core, a region between the Perlemian Trade Route and the Corellian Run)[4]
  • Southern Core (a region that is an extension of Arrowhead and beyond the Corellian Run)[5]
