"Quotation"
―Who said it
Society
As can be deduced from it's name, the Corellian Quarter is an area of Coruscant's Galactic city which is primarily by Corellian immigrants and people of Corellian heritage. Known to locals as Little Corellia, it is a borough that maintains a strong sense of identity and pride in its heritage, inspite of the Imperial homogenization that most of Coruscant has been subject to. The Quarter mostly polices itself, with the Corellian immigrants in the area upholding the strong sense of justice and loyalty towards family that is present on their homeworld. Although a number of the Quarter's residence travelled to other parts of Galactic City to work, there is still a small swoop and ship-building industry in Little Corellia, though business continues to dwindle as automated and robotic production lines out-skill sentient workers.
Places of Interest
As early founders of the Republic, Corellian's have remained a constant presence on Coruscant throughout the planet's history. It should come as no surprise, then, to find that a great deal of the Corellian Quarter is modelled after parts of Corellia itself. Although the Quarter could never replace Corellia itself, many immigrants find comfort in the fact that Little Corellia can provide them with everything from traditional food and clothing to entertainment and industry which feels almost like home.

  • Drevik's - a bookmakers, based on the edge of Olys Dock. Provides odds for local swoop racing and shock boxing, as well as national grav-ball and wegsphere games.
  • Min Larel - a cafe and konditorei specialising in the sale of Corellian caf and cakes.
  • Uhl Turhaya - a pub, whose name translates to mean The Bright Star.
  • Capstan Swoopworks - a swoop repair and body shop, owned by Gus Capstan.
  • Miskiewicz Motors - a swoop repair and body shop, owned by Koro Miskiewicz.
Inhabitants
Although the majority of people living in Little Corellia are either immigrants or of Corellian blood, there are also those who come to the Quarter for other reasons - whether because they find themselves attracted to nostalgia the Quarter is steeped in, or for the less romantic reason that property in Little Corellia is cheaper than numerous other areas of the City, on account of the somewhat xenophobic nature of it's inhabitants.
