“Coruscant, the capital of the Republic. The entire planet is one big city.”
― Ric Olié
Located in the Coruscant subsector of the Corusca sector within the Core Worlds region, Coruscant was a planet covered in a dense ecumenopolis.It orbited relatively far from its small sun and thus did not have a climate that suited any one particular species (although this inconvenience was rectified by technological means and the vast heat generated by the multi-level cityscape). In fact, the planet’s weather patterns were created by the troposphere-piercing buildings that covered the planet’s surface.
Coruscant’s surface was defined by its urban sprawl, which collectively was called Galactic City. The dense city blocks were built on top of each other, the highest reaching to Level 5127. The lowest known habitable level was Level 5. At its highest level, Galactic City’s skyscrapers were built with many reaching 6,000 meters into the atmosphere, with sleek, transparisteel edifices standing next to older duracrete structures.
And it was in one of these beautiful buildings that Manuk grew up. And she did so alone, save for a protocol droid that grew less servile in direct proportion to the young girl's advancing years.
