Corellia

Corellia was a planet home to the Corellians. Partisan during the secession crisis, Corellia came under Imperial control, though some of its famous sons, including the pilot Han Solo, found ways to escape from Imperial patrols and curfews.

Description
"I've got a nice, little spot just up ahead. Real quiet. Real secluded. It's where all the academy kids and nav-institute grads come to blow off some steam."

- Han Solo to Qi'ra

Corellia was a planet known for its wild glory, and featured cities among its wild lands, and the surrounding terrain was comprised of forests and jungles that gave way to mountainous regions and snow-capped vistas. Craggy cliffs, headlands, and gold beaches led to churning seas. The planet's equatorial region featured tropical archipelagos.

Its streets were cluttered with gray buildings and industrial sectors. Some of the planet's settlements included Coronet, Kor Vella, and Tyrena.

Society and culture
"Exquisite bodywork. Sculpted curves. And she rides like a Corellian hound in heat."

- Han Solo to Qi'ra on his M-68 landspeeder

Corellia was home to Corellians, who were said to have rocket fuel for blood, and many of the planet's sons dreamed of flying among the stars. They believed in ancient gods said to have assembled the star system. The planet was home to prostitution, and individuals such as Sara Dihn worked at whorehouses in Coronet and other locales. Corellian girls were believed to like it rough.

History
"Let's go home."

- Han Solo to Qi'ra

Corellia was part of the Senate, and during the secession crisis had a partisan senator who closed the planet off from outside events. The war followed, after which the Galactic Empire took control of Corellia and enforced a crackdown. Stormtroopers and TIE fighters patrolled during curfews.

The astromech droid RV-8TJC worked as a servodomus at an estate on Corellia's equator, and later became a holofilm star mentioned in the Corellia Courier.

Han Solo grew up on the streets of Corellia alongside his partner in crime Qi'ra. During this period, Corellia was under Imperial jurisdiction, and pilots seeking adventure had to navigate Imperial patrols, curfews, and CorSec roadblocks. The Empire frightened most of Corellia's citizens into keeping to its borders and barricades, though academy students found secluded spots to fool around.
