Hosnian Prime

Hosnian Prime was an industrialized planet in the Hosnian system of the Core Worlds. It served as the headquarters of the New Republic, as well as its Galactic Senate and Starfleet until an attack by the First Order's Starkiller Base destroyed the planet and the other Hosnian worlds in 34 ABY. The Hosnian Cataclysm eliminated the Republic and brought chaos to the galaxy.

Description
"Without further comment, HNN has decided to broadcast, unedited, the entire shocking events of today in the Galactic Senate's debate on the First Citizen amendment in Republic City, Hosnian Prime."

- Cindel Towani

Hosnian Prime was located in the Hosnian system of the Core Worlds in Republic Space, located on the other side of the galaxy from Takodana. It shared its system with other Hosnian worlds, and was likened to other glittering Core World jewels such as Coruscant, Chandrila, and Denon

An industrialized, smog-choked planet, Hosnian Prime featured cities included Darropolis, home to a veteran's hospital, and Republic City, which hosted the Galactic Senate and its viewing gallery, and the Senatorial Complex with memorial statues to Bail Organa and Jyn Erso. The Nightsister's Whip was a BDSM club in the city.

History
Humans and other species altered the equilibrium of Hosnian Prime's natural life-cycle, as they did on worlds such as Coruscant, leaving the planet smog-choked as it succumbed to industrialization.

Rebellion Era
After surviving the destruction of the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin, Imperial pilot Iden Versio received treatment on Hosnian Prime for injuries sustained during her crash-landing on Yavin 4.

New Republic Era
"Ben, sweetie&mdash;by now, the news from Hosnian Prime will have reached you. You will know the truth about your heritage."

- Leia Organa, to Ben Solo

Wedge Antilles started a Corellian flight school on Hosnian Prime after the Battle of Jakku, attended by Tally Nixx.

With smugglers and pirates a thing of the past in the New Republic, the New Republic Starfleet spent much of its time stationed in the Hosnian system, including the New Republic Home Fleet. Observer Command was located in the Senatorial Complex, and the planet housed Republic Command itself. Much of the Republic HoloNet was routed through the Hosnian worlds and their Galactic Communications Commission with military-grade dedicated HoloNet nodes. The Galaxy Beacon maintained HoloNet servers on Hosnian Prime. A veteran's hospital in Darropolis catered to Imperial and Rebel servicemen as well as several clone troopers.

Leia Organa and her senatorial staff worked on Hosnian Prime during her Senate career. The Lepi spacer Jaxxon later tracked Organa down on Hosnian Prime and reconnected with the princess to enjoy a game of Master and Slave Girl after she treated him to the sight of her golden metal bikini. Organa proved highly flexible during their tryst, and Jaxxon departed the planet seeking new adventures.

The Galactic Senate convened in Republic City on Hosnian Prime, and debated the First Citizen amendment, which was broadcast in full by HoloNet News. The debate saw Centrists and Populists hurling invectives at each other over the prospect of replacing the office of chancellor with the First Senator, until Senator Ransolm Casterfo revealed the truth of Princess Leia Organa's parentage as the daughter of Darth Vader. The revelation caused an uproar in the Senate, especially when Organa confirmed the accusation. A week after the debate, Ben Solo viewed HNN's footage of the revelation while in Luke Skywalker's Jedi training temple, learning the truth of his own heritage as Vader's grandson. He later received a message from his mother referring to the news from Hosnian Prime, and Leia retired from the Senate to found the Resistance. The Senate also debated the threat to Humanoid females from alien slavers, though they tended to devolve into Populist claims of Centrist species-baiting.

Senator Fatil, a Centrist supporter of the First Order, was spotted by holopaparazzi leaving the Nightsister's Whip BDSM club in Republic City, and the famous shot captured of her led to a sex scandal that trumped politics.

The Wookiees Lowbacca and Lumpawaroo searched for the map to Luke Skywalker on Hosnian Prime and other worlds, though ultimately failed to obtain it.

Resistance Era
"The buyers who work with the Guild don't seem to be satisfied with plant clippings, strangely enough. Even the buyers on Hosnian Prime."

- Grummgar

Adult sex toys, including phallic devices similar in appearance to probic arms, were sold on Hosnian Prime. It also featured underworld brothels in which the repulsor fist earned infamy, classy joints employing galaxy-class hookers, and BDSM clubs such as the Nightsister's Whip. The registered and regulated sex workers of Core Worlds like Hosnian Prime were glossy escorts rather than Rimkin hookers. It was a location utilized by corporate beings who also populated the likes of Coruscant and Scipio, and played a major role in galactic caf bean roasting and distribution.

The Dowutin big-game hunter Grummgar shot beasts for buyers on Hosnian Prime among other worlds. Such buyers, who worked with the Hunting Guild on Wasskah, weren't the kind to be satisfied simply with plant clippings from Grummgar's hunts, which Ardanna Glie saw as an example of the hypocrisy of Chancellor Villecham's leadership.

General Leia Organa of the Resistance sent her aide Korr Sella to meet with Senators Leto Borian and Borka-Di on Hosnian Prime, and Borian spent time in aggressive negotiations with Sella during her visit. Lord Vikram considered Resistance members "terrorists" who stoked tensions with the First Order. The bounty hunter Weedo hoped to transmit footage of his defilement of Rey across the New Republic HoloNet via Galaxy Beacon servers on Hosnian Prime, but he was shot dead by Maz Kanata before he could accomplish this.

In 34 ABY, the First Order launched an attack on the New Republic which targeted Hosnian Prime with the Starkiller Base superweapon, its destructive power appearing as a new red sun flaring in the sky to a group of officials at the Senatorial Complex. Although Grummgar believed the lights produced by the attack to be a meteor storm or plasma trails, the attack saw the destruction of the Hosnian system, and the New Republic's government and fleet were totally eliminated along with countless victims including Korr Sella, Leto Borian, and Borka-Di. The destruction caused a great disturbance in the Force, and was accompanied by the stirring of a great malevolence in the dark side. The HoloNet was filled with panicked and tearful reports about the Hosnian system, and Republic Space was thrown into disarray. The balance of power shifted towards the First Order as it launched a military assault on the galaxy. The Republic's chain of succession was left murky, and galactic communications were disrupted. Several survivors attempted to rally support and restore the government, though these remnants proved unavailable to assist the [[Resistance in the aftermath of the violent cataclysm. The cataclysm saw the Guavian Death Gang attempt a return to the Core Worlds, and sparked a refugee crisis that forced New Alderaan to take in as many as it could. The despair and numbing distraction led Corellia Antilles to wonder if the generation of children born after the incident would be known as defeat kids.
