The galaxy

Astrography
"Anywhere but here."

- Rey, on her homeworld

The known galaxy included worlds such as the verdant Naboo and the bustling megalopolis of Coruscant. Ships could travel through the galaxy via hyperspace routes, plotted by navigation computers and powered by hyperdrives, and dropped passengers at starports.

Political geography
"We should leave the system. Can't risk Imperial patrols, even in this sector. There's a place on the Outer Rim, far edge of the Lothal system; we could try there, now that the Nuri safehouse has been compromised."

- Hera Syndulla, to Kanan Jarrus

Planets were part of systems, which in turn comprised sectors that were part of areas such as the Inner Rim and the Outer Rim.

Galactic Core
The Galactic Core contained the Force Planet.

Inner Rim
The Inner Rim was an area of space including the planets Gorse and Nuri. The latter was infamous for its lurid flesh markets and synth-products, and resisted the Imperialization that claimed other worlds during the reign of the Empire.

Outer Rim
The Outer Rim contained the Lothal system, and was far from Imperial patrols.

Races and species
An explorer of the known galaxy could encounter Humans, and some maintained a vested interest in the behavior and anatomy of cute Human females across the galaxy. Twi'leks, while sexually compatible with Humans, had differing anatomy in the form of sensitive head-tails known as lekku which stored memories and served as erogenous organs.

Breeding was possible between certain species, while others were able to engage in interspecies sex without worrying over reproduction.

Government and politics
"Freedom and liberation for all, Kanan, not just us."

- Hera Syndulla, to Kanan Jarrus

Planets and peoples were represented in the Republic through senators of the Republic Senate, though it long neglected the planets of the Rim.

The New Order of the Empire ruled and patrolled many planets and regions of the galaxy, forcing Imperialization on some worlds, though others were able to resist. It maintained an Imperial Senate.

Technology
Droids such as BB-8 were capable of interfacing with modular systems across the galaxy, and special attachments such as probic arms generated storied histories in certain areas of the galaxy.

History
"If you'd care to blast one of those TIEs out of the galaxy, I don't think anyone would object!"

- Hera Syndulla, to Kanan Jarrus

Before the rise of the Empire, the Jedi lived and studied in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, and used powers and abilities of the Force. They remained wary of the dark side by overcoming anger, forbidden attachments, and lustful thoughts.

The Republic governed the galaxy with its Senate, and fought in the Clone Wars against the Separatist Alliance.

With the Jedi unable to oppose him, Emperor Palpatine established his New Order, an Empire that maintained its regime with the iron fist of Imperialization. Some saw it as a reformation of corrupt remnants of the Republic and a new dawn for the galaxy.

Hera Syndulla and Kanan Jarrus fought in rebellion against the Empire while aboard the Ghost, shooting down TIE fighters. The Galactic Civil War was fought between the Emperor's Imperial stormtroopers and the Rebellion some thirty years prior to Rey's era.

Rey came of age thirty years after the Galactic Civil War, and encountered the resourceful droid BB-8 to embark upon a new adventure.
