Wow, I was right. And that was off the top of my head, too. Go, me!Monroe wrote:According to EU since 95,000 BBY.RK_Striker_JK_5 wrote:I think Coruscant's always been covered. Well, what I mean is, except maybe for the Zhells and Taungs, it's always been a city-covered mess.
Which is exactly how the EU depicts Coruscant - its sole real role is as capital of the galaxy. It imports everything it needs and exports governance.Monroe wrote:Oh I agree. But Star Wars people behave very much like modern day people. It would make sense for Mexico to have 10 cities of around equal size than Mexico City with a huge bulk of the country's population. You need the infrastructure for a Empire / Republic expanding millilons of worlds. So you would need millions of senators right then. If there are 40k lobyiests in America you could expect maybe a billion in Star Wars. Then you would need foods and services for that huge population. Then you would need manufacturing to be done for those people. Then you would need people moving to Coruscant to find work. Its also has perhaps the largest university in the galaxy. So you'd need everything that comes with a college town. Then because its so important you'd need a vast military. Vast shipping companies. And so on.
I think because of that, it makes sense as the Imperial a/o Republic capital, but the idea of city-worlds in other venues doesn't make as much sense. Other places wouldn't be as well-defended as Coruscant, and would be really asking for a relatively simple knock-out blow.Captain Seafort wrote:Which is exactly how the EU depicts Coruscant - its sole real role is as capital of the galaxy.

Yeah although one of those city worlds became the defacto Galactic Alliance capital when the war ended. Guess Mon Calamari wouldn't cut it. I forget what the world was called.Mikey wrote:I think because of that, it makes sense as the Imperial a/o Republic capital, but the idea of city-worlds in other venues doesn't make as much sense.
