Coronet City
Often referred to as "The Jewel of Corellia," Coronet was a bustling urban metropolis located on the coast of the southernmost continent. It was a technologically advanced city with beautiful architecture, but its urban development paled in comparison to Coruscant.

Districts
In keeping with Corellia's spacefaring heritage, Coronet's spaceport was second to none.
Coronet was also home to the headquarters of CorSec and was heavily patrolled, although patrols were somewhat lighter in the Blue Sector, a rough section of town filled with cantinas, tattoo parlors, casinos, and fences, where offworlders tended to congregate.
The famous Treasure Ship Row was a large bazaar located just inside Blue Sector and was famous for offering just about anything a customer could desire, legal or otherwise.
Underneath Coronet's maze-like city streets lay a vast underground series of tunnels and caverns, where the Selonian population lived and worked. Snaking its way among the Selonian caverns was the subway system.
The Corellian Space Museum was also located in Coronet City, filled with artifacts from the earliest history of space flight. The Corellian Stock Exchange was also located in the city.

History
As one of the first settlements from explorers hailing from Coruscant, the planet was settled in 25,200 B.B.Y. It became a critical colony acting as a stopping point for further expeditions as the galaxy was charted. The political system on Corellia has gone through many changes over the course of its history. For a time, it followed a Monarchy style system from its creation up until the year 312 B.B.Y.
The Monarchy was then unformalized and a Constitutional Monarchy was installed between 312 - 150 B.B.Y. Currently, A Corporate Dictatorship oversees Corellia.
A notable event happened in 3640 B.B.Y., Coronet City was the center of fighting on Corellia during the Battle of Corellia, the first major battle of the Galactic War. The Corellian Council had quickly capitulated to the reconstituted Sith Empire for power, and the Sith immediately moved to occupy Coronet City as a beachhead, and from there to take Corellia to the Empire. Coronet City became occupied by Sith forces, closing off all communications with the rest of Corellia and the Republic.
Later that year, Sith forces were driven from Coronet City and Corellia by Republic forces lead by The Hero of Tython and General Var Suthra working with CorSec and resistance groups on Corellia, although there were millions of casualties in the battle and ensuing occupation.
