Core Worlds
The heart of galactic society, the Core Worlds contain the richest and most populous planets in the galaxy. The outer regions of the galaxy regard most inhabitants of the Core as snobs who look down upon them, which is often true. Due to the densely packed stars of the Core navigation of the region can be difficult, especially in the Deep Core. At the heart of the Deep Core is a blackhole said to hold the galaxy together. Additionally, a mysterious world known as the Wellspring of Light lies within the Deep Core and is said to be the homeworld of the Midi-chlorians.
Core Worlds with their own pages
Bar'leth
Location: Core Worlds
A Core World planet that is home to the University of Bar'leth, a prestigious center of scholarship and academia.
- Everyone Went to School Together: Dr. Aphra from the Darth Vader comics, Sana Starros from the main Star Wars comics, and Korin Pers from the Lando comic all studied or worked at the university. The Dr. Aphra series introduced Kho Phon Farrus and Eustacia Okka as two other contemporary students alongside Aphra and Sana.
- Secret Underground Passage: One exists in the university under the archelogy department which leads to the Ascendant cult's sanctum.
Toob-Nix
Sava Toob-Nix
Species: Human
Appearances: Doctor Aphra
An archaeology professor at the University of Bar'leth.
- Dean Bitterman: He is a "Sava", which is vaguely equivalent to the rank of Dean. He sabotages Aphra's academic career simply because he hates her.
- Evil Is Petty: Oh, yes. He ousted Korin Pers to take her position and then made sure she could never work in academia again just to rub it in. He granted Aphra doctoral supervision just so he could dangle it in front of her and then take it away. Even after he dies, his will sends out just enough information to strip Aphra of her degree as one final spiteful act, and is only foiled because he sent it to Aphra's father, who despite being estranged from her isn't so detached that he'd ruin her life.
- Jerkass Has a Point: As petty and arrogant he is, Toob-Nix has a lot of legitimate criticisms of Aphra, whose doctoral project is a total bust and turns out to be even more morally bankrupt than him.
- Mad Scientist: He is illegally studying Abersyn symbiotes, which are so dangerous that the Empire requires that they be incinerated. Out of revenge, Aphra steals his test subjects, passes them off as her own discovery, and hands them over to the Empire.
- The Starscream: Drove Korin Pers out of academia so he take her place. Aphra clearly preferred her and says as much to him.
Korin Pers
Sava Korin Pers
See her entry on the Criminals page.
Susina
Susina
Species: Human
Appearances: Doctor Aphra
"Aphra's findings on Boothi XII. It's... unprecedented. I can't believe it!"
A student at the University of Bar'leth and a friend of Aphra's.
- Curtains Match the Window: Her eyes and hair are ginger-colored.
- Life's Work Ruined: After Aphra "discovers" several hibernating Abersyn symbiotes on Boothi XII, Susina vows to stay on the planet for decades to study them, not realizing that Aphra's discovery was a fake. Issue #1 ends with the revelation that Aphra's deception has been revealed, rendering all her years of work useless.
Iglan'tine Nos
Sava Iglan'tine Nos
Species: Twi'lek
Appearances: Doctor Aphra
Chair of Occult Archaeological Studies at the University of Bar'leth, Nos has long held an interest in the Ascendant Cult and the Spark Eternal.
- All for Nothing: After spending decades excavating the Ascendant's sanctum and working to unlock the Spark Eternal, her efforts end with it possessing Aphra and Nos dead in the crossfire.
- Blinded by Rage: Despite needing Aphra for the ritual to unlock the Spark Eternal, Nos gets easily taunted by Aphra's insults and attempts to shoot her in a room full of reflective metal surfaces, which almost results in her being hit by her own blaster bolt. Despite the clear danger she keeps firing.
- Evil Teacher: She is an occultist who seeks the Spark Eternal to acquire the power of a Sith, and has long hoped one of her students would figure out the keys to unlocking it, with her assignments geared towards guiding her students down that path.
- Killed Offscreen: After Aphra is possessed by the Spark Eternal, a fight breaks out between it and Sana and Kho. After the fight, Nos is seen with a dagger in her back, but it isn't clear who killed her during fight.
Chandrila
Location: Chandrila System, Bormea Sector, Core Worlds
Capital: Hanna City
Local species: Human (Chandrilan), Pantoran
A lush and lively Core World. After the Battle of Endor and Emperor Palpatine's death, Chandrila was instated as the temporary capital of the New Republic, with New Republic Chief of State Mon Mothma as the new Chancellor. However, after an attack on Hanna City on Liberation Day, this led to calls to relocate the New Republic capital to another world, which eventually was chosen to be Hosnian Prime.
- Arranged Marriage: Per Chandrilan tradition, children are married off by their parents at age 15 or so. Some Chandrilans today are against this tradition.
- Canon Immigrant: Chandrila was first mentioned in the Legends novel The Truce at Bakura.
- Fantasy Counterpart Culture: At least in regards to physical fashions, many of the outfits worn by Mon Mothma and family in Andor are quite reminiscent of the fashions of feudal/Imperial-era Japan.
- Irony: Chandrilans are known for being peaceful and politically-minded, if not quite haughty. The planet itself was designated a safe world for the Rebel Alliance and it served as the first capital of the New Republic. It's also the homeworld of Kylo Ren, a leading member of the Empire's successor state and Darth Vader fanboy, who has a strong propensity for violence, destruction and Asskicking Leads to Leadership.
- Paradise Planet: It's described as being a lush and idyllic world with calm blue seas, rolling green hills and mostly mild weather, very rarely experiencing natural disasters. Chandrilans also tend to favour peace and diplomacy over violent conflict.
Perrin Fertha
Perrin Fertha
"Must everything be boring and sad?"
Species: Human
Homeworld: Chandrila
Played by: Alastair Mackenzie
Appearances: Andor
The husband of Mon Mothma, Perrin lacks his wife's interest in politics and is more interested in enjoying the luxuries and social life of Coruscant while ignoring the crimes of the Empire.
- Aristocrats Are Evil: While evil is a bit of a stretch, Perrin is much sleazier and less compassionate than Mon, to the point of inviting her political opponents to a dinner at their residence without telling her while those same Imperials are enabling the starvation of the Ghormans.
- Arranged Marriage: In traditional Chandrilan custom, he and Mon were married together around the age of fifteen. Both are rather resentful towards the custom, which they view as something that paired them with a partner they are not fond of.
- Awful Wedded Life: He and Mon are shown to be pretty distant with each other, frequently engaging in Passive Aggressive Combat. This is mainly due to Perrin being more an Upper-Class Twit who chooses not to help Mon when she needs it in favor of indulging in a vapid social life amongst the Empire's elite.
- Disneyland Dad: He spoils Leida rotten by letting her do whatever she wants and as such enjoys being in his daughter's good graces, but he neglects to actually be an effective parent to her.
- Everyone Has Standards: Mon mentions that Perrin is "surprisingly open-minded" about the traditions of Chandrila in contrast to their daughter, despite his other failings as a person. This is likely due to how they got stuck in a loveless marriage due to those traditions. As such, even he doesn't look happy when preparing to give Leida away for an arranged marriage.
- Framing the Guilty Party: Perrin has a gambling problem and a history of indiscretions that had to be covered up. Mon makes it look like he is gambling again and the missing money was used to cover his debts.
- Former Teen Rebel: He is described as a "firebrand" when he was younger at university. Now he is uninterested in politics and gladly makes friends with Imperial leaders.
- The Gambling Addict: He has a gambling addiction, which Mon harshly disapproves of, claiming it creates a political vulnerability and made him promise to not engage in it while on Coruscant.
- Kick the Dog: When Leida is giving her mother attitude, Perrin watches gleefully, and doesn't step in to help his wife or help discipline their daughter.
- Lack of Empathy: One of his main flaws is his complete lack of care for the welfare of other beings who are suffering from the Empire's policies, because such things interrupt him having a good time by being "boring and sad".
- Locked Out of the Loop: Due to the bad state of their marriage and Perrin's close ties to members of Palpatine's inner circle, Mon makes sure that he has no clue about her involvement in rebel activities, particularly the financial issues she is having. This also means he has no idea that their driver is an ISB plant who is listening in on their conversations.
- Unwanted Spouse: To Mon who clearly can't stand him. Their arranged marriage and Mon's need to avoid drawing too much attention appear to be the only things keeping them together.
- Upper-Class Twit: He doesn't seem to care about the political situation in the Galaxy. Perrin even invites Ars Dangor and Sly Moore, despite being enemies of his wife as well as close collaborators of the Emperor, to a dinner party because he considers them funny.
Leida Mothma
Leida Mothma
Species: Human
Homeworld: Chandrila
Played by: Bronte Carmichael
Appearances: Andor
The daughter of Mon Mothma and Perrin Fertha, Leida has embraced traditional Chandrilan customs, much to the distress of her more progressive mother.
- Arranged Marriage: Leida is betrothed to marry Davo Sculdun's son at the end of Season 1, for the sake of the man's political ambitions. In an unusual twist on the trope, Leida is perfectly fine with this, while both her parents are upset at the outcome.
- Bratty Teenage Daughter: Almost every time she is seen interacting with her mother she is defying, insulting, or belittling her, and often veers into Death Glare territory when staring at her.
- Canon Immigrant: In Legends, Mon had a daughter named Lieda who was only mentioned in one story and a handful of sourcebooks.
- Cultural Rebel: Inverted, Leida is a much more traditionalist Chandrilan than Mon (and even Perrin, whom Mon noted to be surprisingly open-minded about Chandrilan traditions), who notes that the ancient customs are more popular among Chandrilan immigrants to Coruscant than on Chandrila itself.
- Daddy's Girl: She only has a good relationship with her father, whom she notes allows her to do whatever she wants, and joins with him in Passive Aggressive Combat against Mon.
- The Fundamentalist: Unlike her parents, Leida fully embraces Chandrilan customs. Mon despairingly notes to Vel that the only thing Leida is ever on time for are her reading sessions with other Chandrilan girls on Coruscant who likewise embrace the traditions fervently. She also wants to go through with the Arranged Marriage to Davo's son, even though Mon and Perrin are united against this particular custom.
- Girly Skirt Twirl: Leida tries on the dress that Vel brings her and shows it off with a twirl.
- When You Coming Home, Dad?: She berates Mon for focusing more on her job than her family, accusing her of making everything all about her.
Tay Kolma
Tay Kolma
Species: Human
Homeworld: Chandrila
Played by: Ben Miles
Appearances: Andor
A childhood friend of Mon Mothma and member of the Bank of Kolma.
- Childhood Friends: He has known Mon Mothma since they were children and went to school together. Because of their long history together, Mon feels comfortable enough to turn to Kolma for helping raising funds for the rebellion.
- Foil: With Davo Scludun: both are Chandrilan bankers, but Tay is interested in helping fight the Empire and is honest in his work while Davo is a ruthless money lender who likes to exploit others.
- Secret-Keeper: Mon entrusts him with some knowledge that she is using funds for anti-Imperial activities, although he does not know the specifics for security and deniability.
Davo Sculdun
Davo Sculdun
Species: Human
Homeworld: Chandrila
Played by: Richard Dillane
Appearances: Andor
An oligarch and money lender with an unsavory reputation.
- Altar Diplomacy: Getting his son betrothed to Mon Mothma's daughter gives him a hefty amount of political clout (with her being the Senator for Chandrila) that he cannot simply buy like everything else.
- Criminal Craves Legitimacy: Called a thug by Mon Mothma. Davo has achieved his vast wealth through various underhanded means. The one thing he can't buy though is access to high society and a legacy. Which he will obtain by getting his son betrothed to Mon Mothma's daughter.
- Fiction 500: He is so rich that he does not care about making more money and is far more interested in gathering favors and expanding his family's influence and standing through marriage pacts.
- Foil: With Tay Kolma: both are Chandrilan bankers, but Tay is interested in helping fight the Empire and is honest in his work while Davo is a ruthless money lender who likes to exploit others.
- Morally Bankrupt Banker: He skirts around Imperial laws to move money around for those who need it, often those who are involved in unsavory businesses who would want to avoid attention. When Mon Mothma comes to him, he jumps at the opportunity to try and use her desperation to arrange for a potential marriage between his son and her daughter.
- Pet the Dog: When the Mothmas present Leida for the courtship, he quickly scans their faces and looks almost apologetic after realizing how unhappy they are with the arrangement.
- Smug Snake: Downplayed. While he makes it clear his terms will make Mon uncomfortable, he doesn't gloat about it. He shows no visible pleasure once the courtship gets underway either.
Tracene Kane
Tracene Kane
Species: Human
A reporter for the Queen of the Core Network, a HoloNet news network that emerged after the Battle of Endor. Tracene was a journalist on Chandrila who worked with her cameraman, Lug, to report on developments on Chandrila and other places in regards to the end of the Galactic Civil War.
- Commonality Connection: A little. Her first interview is of Olia, of which this is her first time being interviewed. The both of them are nervous, but encourage each other before they start rolling the film.
- Nice Girl: She's friendly and hardly means any unprovoked harm to others.
- True Companions: She and Lug were close friends, and she mourns his death when he gets killed after uploading one of their reports to the point where she makes a special broadcast on the spot in memoriam of him.
Lug
Lug
Species: Trandoshan
A Trandoshan cameraman that worked for the Queen of the Core Network alongside his journalist colleague, Tracene Kane. He was killed by a TIE fighter suicide attack while covering the Battle of Binjai-Tin.
- Nice Guy: Unlike most Trandoshans, he's not a Blood Knight or even a Jerkass at the very minimum.
- White Sheep: He may have grown up influenced by his people's love for hunting and bloodthirstiness, but it's not something he's into and he'd rather focus on other things.
T-2LC
T-2LC
Model: Protocol droid
Appearances: Empire's End | Last Shot
Leia and Han's nanny droid, ordered by Han to watch over the pregnant Leia and later babysit an infant Ben.
- Affectionate Nickname: Elsie.
- Hidden Wire: Senator Wartol, Chancellor Mon Mothma's rival, planted a listening device in Elsie to spy on Mothma and her allies. This becomes a problem for Mothma's PR when Elsie is present during conversations about the Imperial remnants being on Jakku, as Wartol leaks this to the press and accuses Mothma of being weak. Condor later removes the device, allowing Mothma to confront Wartol about his political espionage.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Since he was bugged by Wartol, this allows Wartol to leak to the press that there are Imperials on Jakku and use this against Mon Mothma's reputation.
BX- 778
BX-778
Model: Class 3 culinary septic droid
Homeworld: Chandrila
Appearances: Last Shot
Leia and Han's chef droid. At one point, T-2LC went out on errands for Leia, leaving BX to care for infant Ben himself, which almost became a deadly ordeal.
- Affectionate Nickname: BX or Beex.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: He gets transmitted a kill order to kill organics. The closest organic in the vicinity when he receives this order is an infant Ben, and no one else is around... Thankfully, the transmitter is shut down before he can kill Ben.
- Cloudcuckoolander: He has an obsession with caf, making it to his masters and guests even when they turn down his offer or didn't ask for it in the first place. He even makes caf for an infant Ben.
- Multi-Armed Multitasking: He has seven arms, which makes cooking more complex dishes easier.
- Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Averted when he makes an attempt on Ben's life, unless you count him using his knife-specific arm.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: When he's Brainwashed and Crazy.
- Would Hurt a Child: While Brainwashed and Crazy, he almost decapitates baby Ben with his knife arm.

Corellia
Location: Corellia System, Corellian Sector, Core Worlds
Capital: Coronet City
Local species: Human (Corellian), Besalisk, Grindalid, Pantoran
"Well, I admire anyone who can crawl their way out of the sewer. Especially a sewer as putrid as Corellia."
—Dryden Vos
A Core World home to many famous ace pilots and starships, including the well-known starship manufacturer, the Corellian Engineering Corporation. While it was once a political power during the early years of galactic exploration, Corellia's influence has faded, and it is now faced with problems of pollution, poverty, and powerful criminal syndicates. During the reign of the Empire, a local anti-Imperial insurgency known as the Corellian Resistance operated on the world.
- Ace Pilot: For whatever reason, they sure have a lot of well-known pilots from there. Having a Cool Ship Corporation might've started this or it was the other way around.
- Bold Explorer: Corellia was at the forefront of galactic exploration and spacefaring for millennia. They were so deeply intertwined with the charting of hyperlanes (two of the Galaxy's largest trade routes intersect there, and are named after the planet), and the expansion of the Republic, that Corellia commands respect across the Galaxy, even in a time of economic downturn.
- Cool Ship: The mainstay of Corellian industry is the production of these. A lot of ships, like the YT-1300*, VCX-100*, YV-666*, YT-2400*, Imperial freighters, rebel blockade runners* and G9 rigger freighters* are manufactured there.
- Fantastic Slurs: Street children of Corellia are called "scrumrats".
- Feudal Future: Expanded material reveals that in ancient times, Corellia was ruled by royalty, although this no longer seems to be the case by the era of the Empire.
- Industrial Ghetto / Wrong Side of the Tracks: Coronet City already comes across as a Wretched Hive, but it's indicated that the "Silo", located in the Bottoms district, is a particularly dire place to live; it includes a 'freighter boneyard' filled with broken-down freighters and was once a swamp before the water was drained to make way for factories. Qi'ra apparently grew up there until the White Worms "pulled [her] out of that", with the implication being that working for them was an improvement over the Silo.
- Wretched Hive: The part of Corellia Han Solo grew up in - Coronet City, specifically - isn't pleasant; it's a bleak, grimy slum riddled with crime, where some criminals are known to force street kids to steal valuables in exchange for food and shelter. There are few opportunities to get a better life, save for joining the Imperial Army, bribing your way out (which can backfire) or joining a more powerful criminal syndicate.
High Republic Era Residents
Alys Ongwa
Alys "Crash" Ongwa
Species: Human
Homeworld: Corellia
Appearances: The High Republic Adventures (2021) | Midnight Horizon | Rogue Element | The High Republic Adventures (2023)
A Corellian from the High Republic era who took over the Supreme Coronet City Diplomat Protection crew after her mother retired and left it to her.

After that, Alys worked alongside Jedi to thwart an undercover Nihil operation.
- Bodyguard Crush: She was once assigned as a bodyguard to the Atchapat Family, only to eventually find herself in a relationship with its lead singer, Svi'No.
- Cunning Linguist: She speaks several alien languages in addition to Basic, which includes Gamorrean and Anzellan. Crash notes her talent with languages comes in handy as the head of a bodyguard service, as she can both communicate with and spy upon the various beings she might encounter.
- Interspecies Romance: She is in a relationship with Svi'No Atchapat (a Taymar).
- Tuckerization: Her name is a tribute to fellow Star Wars comic writer, Alyssa Wong. Wong themself would later become a writer for the High Republic publishing initiative in Phase III.
- Young and in Charge: She's only sixteen years old, yet the Supreme Coronet City Diplomat Protection employs mostly adults.
Svi'No Atchapat
Svi'No Atchapat
Species: Taymar
Homeworld: Corellia
The lead singer of Atchapat Family Galan-Kalank Orchestra on Corellia, who had become a famous celebrity by the time she was a teenager. She was also a very close friend of Alys "Crash" Ongwa, and used her fame to help Crash build up the Supreme Coronet City Diplomat Protection.
- Alien Hair: Taymars have flowing tendrils in place of hair, similar to Mikkians.
- Bodyguard Crush: "Crash" was previously employed as a bodyguard for the Atchapat Family. Eventually, she and Svi'No fell in love with each other.
- Interspecies Romance: She is a Taymar that is in romantic relationship with Crash (a human).

Empire Era Residents
Erno
Detective Erno
Species: Human
Appearances: Life Debt
"What's the deal with you pouty little thugs, anyways? You're, what, a buncha suck-ups to the Empire?"
A detective active during the Coronet City revolution caused by the Acolytes of the Beyond after the destruction of the Death Star II. After taking in a boy named Remi to Peace & Security station after finding him vandalizing property with zealotry for the late Darth Vader, Remi cut off one of Erno's arms and escaped with fellow Acolyte Kiza.
- An Arm and a Leg: Got one of his arms cut off by Remi.
- One-Shot Character: Appears in one of the interludes in the Aftermath trilogy.
- Sole Survivor: He's the only detective that survives Remi and Kiza's rampage through the station, though he ended up losing an arm.
Falthina Sharest
L.T.S.O Falthina Sharest
Species: Human
Portrayed by: Anna Francolini
Appearances: Solo
The Lead Transport Security Officer for the Coronet Spaceport during the reign of the Empire. Han Solo and Qi'ra attempt to bribe her with coaxium to get past the checkpoint.
- Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: She betrays her employers to allow Han and Qi'ra to slip by quietly without proper authorization in exchange for a stolen vial of coaxium. Then, the moment the White Worms gang turn up, she backstabs them by issuing a security alert and shutting the gate.
- Dirty Cop: Strictly speaking she's a security officer rather than a cop, but she otherwise fits the bill, being willing to break the rules and abuse her position to get her hands on some very valuable coaxium.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: The novelization mentions she has a sister and a grandmother she cares for.
- Hated Hometown: According to the novelization, she has a low opinion of Corellia, dreaming of moving offworld to see other planets and only intending to return to visit her sister.
- Makeup Is Evil: She's a greedy, backstabbing Imperial officer who wears dark lipstick. According to the Visual Guide, this is a deliberate violation of Imperial regulations, further evidencing how she doesn't take her position all that seriously unless it suits her.
- Small Role, Big Impact: Allowing Han and Qi'ra to pass the checkpoint then double-crossing them changes both their lives drastically; Han escapes and goes on to become a smuggler and then eventually a rebel general, while Qi'ra is recaptured by the White Worms and works her way up to become a lieutenant in the Crimson Dawn syndicate.
- Soul-Crushing Desk Job: The novelization reveals she really doesn’t like her job, finding it extremely dull. Two street kids trying to bribe her with stolen coaxium is probably the most exciting thing to happen to her in a while.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: For the Empire. If she hadn't let Han through the checkpoint, enabling him to escape Corellia, he just might never have ended up joining the Rebel Alliance in about ten years, where he is integral in bringing the Empire down.
Ovan
Ovan
Species: Human
Appearances: Most Wanted note | Solo note | Han Solo and Chewbaccanote
"My dad worked the line at the CEC plant before he got laid off...He wanted to be a pilot."
The father of the famed smuggler and Rebel general, Han Solo, who worked in one of the Corellian Engineering Corporation's freighter factories until he was laid off. He was also the paternal grandfather of Ben Solo/Kylo Ren.
- Adaptation Name Change: In Legends, Han's father's name was Jonash Solo. In Canon, not only was Solo not Han's original surname, having been given it by an Imperial recruiter after Han stated he didn't belong to any family, his first name is different too.
- The Alcoholic: Han mentions that his father used to drink a lot in Most Wanted.
Jon Kasdan indicated he may have eventually drank himself to death. - Alcoholic Parent: Was this to Han.
- Only One Name: As Solo was not Han's original surname in Canon, it is unknown what Ovan's surname actually is.
- Parental Abandonment: According to the novelization of Solo, he eventually abandoned Han when he was still a child, although the Ultimate Guide states, and Han implies in the film itself, that his father died at some point. Either way, Han ended up on the streets by the time he was ten.
- Parental Issues: Although their exact relationship isn't really elaborated on, Han states he was never close to his father and Jon Kasdan describes him as having "a complicated, difficult relationship with his son".
- Posthumous Character: It's strongly implied he's dead by the events of Solo. He would almost certainly be dead by the events of the Sequel Trilogy, at the very least. However, the plot of Han Solo and Chewbacca involves him reuniting with a man who claims to be Ovan, though Han is very skeptical about this claim, even as he reveals a number of intimate details. It turns out he's not Ovan, but an impersonator named Corbus Tyra.
- Tragic Dream: Han states that he dreamed of becoming a pilot and leaving Corellia for a better life, but was never able to afford it.
Reezo
Reezo
Species: Rodian
Homeworld: Coruscant
Appearances: Most Wanted
A Rodian who competes in illegal street races in Coronet City. He and his younger brother Tsuulo found themselves stranded on Corellia after the deaths of their parents.
- Cool Car: Has a customised green speeder he uses for racing, complete with holographic flames on the sides... At least until it was stolen by Han, Qi'ra and Tsuulo. After Tsuulo is killed by the Kaldana Syndicate, the Droid Gotra presents Reezo with a new speeder as thanks for his brother helping them.
- Parental Abandonment: Both of his parents were killed in a speeder accident while on a family trip to Corellia.
- Sibling Rivalry: After Reezo lost all the money they inherited from their dead parents betting on a race, Tsuulo stopped talking to Reezo and he left to join the White Worms.
Jonashe Solo
Prince-Admiral Jonashe Solo
Species: Human
Appearances: All There in the Manual
A member of ancient Corellian royalty, who shares his surname with Han Solo.
- Famous Ancestor: A Snivvian bounty hunter claimed that he's this to Han Solo, however this is never mentioned by Han himself and given that Solo wasn't his original surname, it seems a dubious claim, at best.
- Mythology Gag: In Legends, Han Solo's father was named Jonash Solo.
- Posthumous Character: He lived centuries before Han Solo was born.
- Warrior Prince: If his full title of "Prince-Admiral" is anything to go by.

Dowut
Location: Core Worlds
Native Species: Dowutin
A frigid world of tundras near the Core Worlds border with the Unknown Regions. While it was a member of the Republic, the government remained isolationist and their senator only rarely ventured to Coruscant. During the age of the Empire, Dowut was blockaded to prevent its population from spreading after a failed attempt to enslave the Dowutins.
- Death World: It is home to multiple aggressive predators. The predecessor species which evolved into the Dowutin were hunted by and hunted these predators in return.
- Binary Suns: Dowut orbits three stars at a considerable distance, resulting in its cold temperatures.
Dowutin
Dowutin
Large and powerful aliens with a reputation for arrogance and being skilled mercenaries and hunters.
- Absurdly Sharp Claws: Their fingers end in bony sharp spikes. These claws make certain manual tasks difficult for them, but are very useful in combat. They can even use them to rip metal doors open.
- All There in the Manual: Most information on the Dowutin and their homeworld comes from reference books.
- Asskicking Leads to Leadership: All authority on Dowut derives from those who can seize it.
- Big Eater: Dowutin can eat up to half their body weight in a day. This can make things difficult for them in places where access to food may not be easy.
- Blue-and-Orange Morality: On Dowut, strength and skill in combat determine who gets access to resources and respect in society. When Dowutin travel off-planet, they often find themselves unable to comprehend or deal with other societies methods of government, consumerism, and justice systems.
- Brutal Honesty: Dowutins have little time for subterfuge or social niceties and are thus typically very direct and honest when dealing with others.
- The Dreaded: The Empire was so concerned about the Dowutin that they blockaded the planet to keep them contained.
- Humanoid Alien: Although they are bigger than most humanoids, they qualify.
- Long-Lived: They have extensive life-spans, to the point where a popular story is that no Dowutin has ever died of old age and simply succumbs to the dangers of their homeworld or dies in battle.
- Named After Their Planet: Their name is derived from their homeworld.
- Planet of Hats: The Dowutin are feared as mercenaries, hunters, and other aggressive and violent professions. They are also typically arrogant and loners, although some work in groups as muscle for criminals.
- Stronger with Age: They never stop growing as they age, and their skin becomes tougher as well. The growth does slow down some when they reached an advanced age, but remain as strong as ever.
- Trial by Combat: Their justice system has the involved parties fight it out to determine guilt.
- Worthy Opponent: Dowutin who encountered Jedi were highly impressed by their abilities and skill, even if they disdained the idea of an energy force that binds all life together. The few Dowutin who became Jedi were given to the Order by parents who had witnessed the prowess of a Jedi first-hand.

Duro
Location: Duro Sector, Core Worlds
Native Species: Duros
A temperate planet, home to the Duros species. Following the Clone Wars, the Empire occupied Duro, which led to heavy support for the Rebellion amongst its population.
- Space Station: There is at least one satellite city in orbit above Duro.
Duros
Duros
Amongst the first species to develop hyperspace capable ships, the Duros have been key players in galactic history for thousands of years.For information on their Legends depiction, see here.
- Ancient Astronauts: One of the first space-faring civilizations, beating most others by a few millenia.
- Alien Blood: Their blood is green.
- The Greys: Although they are of average height, they fit most of the other features of this trope, particularly their facial features.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Generally averted. They have distinctive red eyes, but are no less good or bad than any other race in the galaxy.
- Rubber-Forehead Aliens: Their heads are the only part that couldn't just be confused for a blue human.
- Humanoid Aliens: They have the standard humanoid body type shared by many species in the galaxy.
- Named After Their Planet: Their species name is derived from their home planet of Duro.
- The Noseless: Where most species have a nose, the Duros instead of a flat smooth face. How they are able to smell is unknown.

Gatalenta
Location: Core Worlds
Immigrated Species: Human
"On Gatalenta we try to lead the life of the mind, and in our culture intentions can have great influence; we discuss them, judge by them."
— Amilyn Holdo
A warm and tranquil planet lit by multiple suns, famed for its peaceful and philosophical culture, poetry and tea. It possessed a strong Jedi tradition and kept much of the old Jedi legends and teachings alive following the rise of the Empire.
- Arcadia: The whole planet is reminiscent of this. Gatalenta is known for its meditation retreats and its culture emphasises peace, serenity, compassion and living a simple life.
- Binary Suns: The planet is actually said to have multiple suns (the exact number is not specified).
- Canon Immigrant: Gatalenta was first mentioned in Star Wars: The Old Republic, and was reintroduced into canon in the novel Bloodline.
- Matriarchy: Implied. Amilyn Holdo mentions that Gatalenta is ruled by a "Council of Mothers". However, they don't seem to have anything against men being in positions of power, as they have a man representing them in the Galactic Senate under the New Republic.
- Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil: Slavery is outlawed on Gatalenta and slaves aren't allowed to be brought onto the planet. Holdo tells Leia that if a slave master were to be caught there with slaves, the slaves would automatically be freed.
- Space Elves: Gatalentan society is primarily made up of humans, but many aspects of their culture fit closely with this trope; they are fond of meditation, philosophy and poetry with deep and complex themes. They believe in the Force and are strong supporters of the Jedi, and preach love, empathy and peace; they also thank their planet's multiple suns for rising each morning. They're often seen as rather serene, austere and erudite, and traditionally wear simple clothing of white or pale grey, with scarlet cloaks being the only bit of color on their outfits.
- Tender Tears: Crying openly is seen as a sign of a caring heart and nothing to be ashamed of amongst Gatalentans.

Hosnian Prime
Location: Hosnian System, Core Worlds
Capital: Republic City
A heavily settled Core World, Hosnian Prime was the temporary rotating capital of the New Republic around thirty years after the Battle of Endor. Home to the New Republic Senate and primary fleet, it was destroyed along with the rest of the Hosnian System when the First Order utilized Starkiller Base to deliver a crippling blow to the New Republic.
- Apocalypse How: Scope Stellar; Starkiller Base takes out not just Hosnian Prime but the entire Hosnian system (although the star it orbited is left intact). The severity level isn't fully clear yet, but every living thing on the planets in the system is annihilated, which likely resulted in some extinctions.
- City Planet: Similar to Coruscant, this planet is one big city. Unlike Coruscant though, the city doesn't cover the entire planet, but is separated into different cities albeit very large ones.
- Earth-Shattering Kaboom: The planet was destroyed by Starkiller Base.
- Hufflepuff House: Downplayed. In The Force Awakens, it's notable in-universe for being the current capital of the New Republic and host to their fleet. However, rather like Alderaan in A New Hope, the planet itself only shows up once onscreen and in the very same scene it gets blown to smithereens.
- Mass "Oh, Crap!": The inhabitants of Republic City are all shown doing this as the laser of Starkiller Base closes in on them.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: To Coruscant, as it was the planet Starkiller Base was going to destroy in The Force Awakens before it was decided to change it to a new planet. Because of this, the entire "rotating capital planets" concept was created specifically to justify why Hosnian Prime was the New Republic's capital planet.
- Red Sky, Take Warning: Starkiller Base's incoming laser causes Hosnian Prime's sky to turn bright red.
Exantor Divo
Commissioner Exantor Divo
Species: Human
Appearances: All There in the Manual*
The head of law enforcement on Hosnian Prime. His mother, Andressa Divo, was an ISB agent, and his grandfather, Tan Divo, was an inspector in the Coruscant Security Force.
- Ambiguously Gay: It's said that he lives on Hosnian Prime with his partner and their kids. His partner's gender is not specified.
- Dead Guy Junior: He's named for his grandfather's middle name.
- History Repeats: It's implied that his grandfather died when Alderaan blew up, and it's looking a lot like he and his family are going to meet the same fate when the Hosnian system is blown up in due time.
- Jerkass Has a Point: He thinks that the New Republic's lax stance on fighting crime has led to the criminal underworld and other lawlessness growing stronger. He's not entirely wrong, given that the First Order will strike soon.
- Knight Templar: He's of the opinion that peace begets complacency, and that's why it was inevitable that the Republic would enter a war, that war being the Clone Wars. His reasoning is that as long as there's illegal activity anywhere in the Galaxy, it will soon grow into conflict.
- Old Shame: In-universe. His mother was an ISB agent, but at the beginning of his section in Scum and Villainy, he defends her, saying that she was just doing her job as an officer of the law, and says that the Empire was so corrupt that it helped crime instead of attacking it, as well as that the Empire was intended to just a part of Palpatine's agenda more than anything else.
- Uncertain Doom: He lives in Hosnian Prime's capital with his partner and two kids, and we all know what happens to the Hosnian system...

Lanz Carpo
Location: Core Worlds
One of the smallest inhabited Core Worlds, it also has one of the highest crime rates in the Core as well. During the Galactic Civil War, Lanz Carpo was controlled by the Carpo Crime Syndicate, with Boss Carpo at its head.
- City Planet: The brief glimpse of it from orbit in Star Wars (Marvel 2015) shows that a significant portion of the surface is completely settled.
- Les Collaborateurs: Imperial influence and direct control on the planet is minimal due to Boss Carpo's agreement to sell out any rebel elements on the planet in exchange for free reign.
- Wretched Hive: Lanz Carpo is essentially the lower levels of Coruscant with a layer of wealth added on top.
Dar Champion
District Advocate Dar Champion
Species: Human
Appearances: Star Wars (Marvel 2015)
A District Advocate, Champion fights against the corruption and gang activity on Lanz Carpo. He is a former boyfriend of Leia Organa, whom he met during her regent training.
- Amicable Exes: He and Leia get along just fine, even when Champion is under the impression that Han is Leia's new husband.
- Better the Devil You Know: Attempts to stop Leia and Han from framing Boss Carpo as a Rebel agent, reasoning that while Carpo is vile, removing him from power would allow the Empire to take full control of Lanz Carpo, which is something that Champion cannot allow.
- Determined Defeatist: He is well aware how futile his work is, as most criminals he arrests will be freed by bribes paid by Boss Carpo, but is determined to continue his work anyway.Champion: Well, Leia, that's the way it goes on Lanz Carpo. I arrest 'em and Boss Carpo bails 'em out.
Han: So what's the point?
Champion: The point, my friend…is justice. - New Old Flame: For Leia, although the exact time at which the regent training during which they dated occurred is unclear.
- Vigilante Man: Takes justice into his own hands sometimes, stopping criminals outside his jurisdiction.
Protobranch
Location: Protobranch System, Core Worlds
Native Species: Bivall
A agricultural and medical world that is also home to the Bivall species.
- Agri World: The primary exports of Protobranch are grain and bacta, being one of the main sources of both in the Core Worlds.
- Apocalypse How: It suffers a Class 1 around 85 BBY when a solar storm causes its floating cities to crash into the surface.
- Colony Drop: When a solar storm swept through the Protobranch System, it disabled all of the technology on the world, including the antigrav technology keeping the cities afloat. The resulting crashes killed a large portion of the population and devastated the agricultural fields of the planet.
- Floating Continent: The cities on the planet float above the surface and are held aloft by antigrav platforms.
Bivall
Bivall
The native species of Protobranch. They are a highly intelligent species often found in the scientific or medical fields.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: Their scaly skin can be red, green, white, or even a mixture of different colors.
- Humanoid Alien: They are a slender humanoid species with the standard body type.
- Meaningful Name: Protobranchia is a subclass of bivalve mollusks, otherwise known as deep-sea clams, hence the mollusk-like appearance of the Bivall.
- Planet of Hats: The Bivall are regarded as excellent scientists, doctors, and researchers. However, they are not exclusively found in those occupations, as some have been seen as military officers and political advisors.

Skako
- Location: Core WorldsNative Species: Skakoan
A high-pressure world with a dense methane atmosphere, Skako was home to the xenophobic and reclusive Skakoan species. Due to the rise of the Skakoan run Techno Union, the planet began to play more of a role in galactic affairs during the late Republic Era, aligning with the Confederacy during the Clone Wars. It was subsequently targeted for retribution under the Empire with travel restrictions placing great hardship on the planet, although many Skakoans welcomed the return to isolation.
- Alien Sky: An alkaline haze covers the planet's upper atmosphere and prevents the stars from being seen at night. Due to this, astrology didn't really begin to develop amongst Skakoans until they began low-orbit flights and saw stars frequently for the first time. As such, the species never developed an interest in space flight like many others did.
- City Planet: It is an ecumenopolis, in part due to the heavy industry that the Skakoans have covered the planet with.
Skakoan
Skakoan
The natives of Skako. Due to being methane breathers, Skakoans require special pressure suits to survive off their homeworld. Skakoan culture is based on both logic and emotion, which they see no contradictions between.
- Absolute Xenophobe: They really don't like other species and have remained isolated and uninterested in galactic politics for most of their history due to fear of them. Due to placing a lot of value on logic, they view this fear as irrational, but it persists still.
- Bizarre Alien Biology: Unlike most humanoids, their hearts are located in their lower abdomen.
- Extremophile Lifeforms: They breathe methane and hydrogen sulfide. Without their pressure suits providing the right mixture and pressurization, Skakoans violently explode in oxygen atmospheres. However, this aspect of their biology seems to be downplayed compared to Legends (where a few immediately exploded after being shot by Durge), as Jul Tambor survives a blaster shot from Sabé while trying to fake his death, and ZED-6-7 only noting that his respiration needs treating.
- Good with Numbers: They are very good at mathematics, and their native language Skakoverbal actually has much in common with binary.
- Humanoid Alien: It can be hard to tell due to their suits, but Skakoans have the standard humanoid body of a head, two arms, and two legs.
- Named After Their Planet: Like many Star Wars species, the Skakoans derive their name from their homeworld. Seemingly inverted with the nearby planet of Skako Minor, however, as that planet's atmosphere is unsuitable to Skakoans and Wat Tambor referred to the Poletecs as "the natives". This implies that planet either got its name from being in close proximity to Skako or the Skakoans named it after colonizing it.
- Starfish Language: Skakoverbal, their native language, is very similar to Binary from droids. Due to most Skakoans rarely leaving Skako, they rarely bother to learn Basic, and those that do frequently travel the stars have translation modules built into their pressure suits. However, the language conversion process is very complex, which sometimes results in the suits sending out junk noise when speaking.

Vardos
Location: Jinata System, Civilian Sector, Core Worlds
Capital: Kestro
Immigrated Species: Human, Rodian, Aqualish
A world that upheld the ideas that organization and structure are the key to peace, developing its infrastructure in a sterile yet pristine fashion. Due to these ideals, the people of Vardos welcomed the Empire's reign over the Galaxy, with their homeworld serving as an example of an "Imperial utopia".
- Bizarre Alien Biology: A rare plant example. The trees in the cities of Vardos look similar to Japanese maple trees, except if their leaves fall in water, they bleed, turning the water red.
- Neutral No Longer: Prior to the end of the Clone Wars, Vardos was an independent world. It was only thanks to Admiral Versio that it joined the Empire.
- Noodle Incident: Operation: Cinder ended eventually, but it's not known if it's because the Empire completed its destruction of Vardos or because of New Republic intervention.
- You Can't Go Home Again: Iden and many other civilians flee Vardos when it gets subjected to Operation: Cinder. And since Vardos was one of the first worlds to be hit by Operation: Cinder, it's unlikely that the Alliance managed to intervene in time to save whatever was left of the world.
- As followed up in the DLC, it is now under First Order occupation, and not as many people live on Vardos anymore. In addition, even thirty years after Operation: Cinder, atmospheric ash continues to fall from the sky like snow.

Pillio
Location: Jinata System, Civilian Sector, Core Worlds
Native Fauna: Coral
An aquatic world housing numerous coral reefs, even above water. During the reign of the Empire, it was home to one of the Emperor’s top secret Observatories.
- Agri World: It's one of the main food exporters for the Jinata system, though apparently mostly through fishing rather than land-based farming.
- Artistic License – Biology: Similar to the coral on Atollon, real-life coral can’t survive on land because they need water.
