==========================================================================================
Sometimes known as the jewel of the Core World, Coruscant is essentially a single, enormous multi-level city. The foundations of the huge city have been in place since the earliest days of the Old Republic. The largest buildings can reach staggering heights and may be several blocks wide. All of the buildings are completely climate-controlled and have windows designed to reflect sunlight. Construction droids work at all hours of the day and night repairing structures or creating new ones. Refuse and other debris are rare, but Coruscant is known for producing an abnormally high density of pollutants. Virtually every area of the planet is inhabited, although the largest population centres border the equator. Most of the population must wear coats, goggles and helmets as protection from the pollution in the atmosphere.

Numerous spaceports can be found on the world, and Coruscant's sky is filled with traffic during all hours. Wealthy residents of Coruscant once built huge, personal skyhooks in low orbit around the planet in order to escape the mammoth metropolis. These skyhooks were eventually grounded for safety reasons by the New Republic.

While Coruscant is dominated by buildings, a few animal species manage to survive on the world. Kitelike hawk-bats make their homes in artificial canyons, hunting granite slugs throughout Coruscant's lower levels. Rapacious, four-legged corridor ghouls also stalk the depths of Coruscant, where moss and lichen, spider-roaches, armoured rats, duracrete worms and a variety of other life-forms can be encountered.

Aside from Imperial City, other attractions on Coruscant include the Jedi Temple, the Grand Towers, the SKydome Botanical Gardens, the underground city of Dometown, the Holographic Zoo of extinct animals and the Galactic Museum which holds ancient Sith artifacts from 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin.

Monument plaza is a popular mall built around one of the peaks in the Manarai Mountain range, where visitors can actually touch bare rock. For at least 300 years before the Battle of Endor, the clock in the Central Gathering Hall has marked the hour by spreading a light across the sky, and every evening spectacular grey-green and red auroras flash throughout Coruscant's atmosphere. The snow covered polar regions of Coruscant are home to turbo-ski resorts and are continuously mined by ice-boring machines. Because the planet's inland seas and oceans have long since been drained, the melted ice is delivered by huge pipelines to the densely populated metropolitan areas.

Coruscant is defended by Golan III orbital battle stations and a low-orbit space-dock facility, while a powerful energy shield protects the planet itself.
