Imperial Coruscant
Imperial Coruscant. Time until the episode IV Star Wars, Dark Times. Be whoever you want.
Coruscant is the monumental and iron-fisted capital of the Galactic Empire during the dark, paranoid era of the Imperial Dark Times—years between the fall of the Republic and the Battle of Yavin. It is a world undergoing a terrifying transformation, where the fading elegance of the old democracy is being systematically crushed beneath the brutalist, gray architecture and rigid militarism of the New Order. The shadow of the Sith is absolute, and the planet has become a surveillance state.

ided into thousands of orbital levels, but the social and political atmosphere has fundamentally shifted:
- The Upper Levels (The Spires): Natural sunlight shines upon a landscape of fear. The Grand Convocation Chamber still houses the Imperial Senate, where deeply anxious senators and corrupt corporate barons engage in meaningless, monitored debates, well-aware that their power is an illusion. The majestic old Jedi Temple has been desecrated and rebuilt into the ominous, heavily fortified Imperial Palace, surrounded by anti-orbital batteries and shifting Royal Guards. Somewhere in the crowds, a few tragic survivors of Order 66 hide their Force abilities, living in constant terror of discovery.
- The Mid-Levels: The industrial and residential heart of Coruscant is tightly militarized. The state-controlled HoloNet screens blare non-stop Imperial propaganda, praising the Emperor and demanding absolute obedience. Trillions of citizens live under constant surveillance, subject to strict rationing, curfew laws, and intense anti-alien discrimination. The streets are locked down by squads of white-armored Stormtroopers and the terrifying, cold-eyed agents of the Imperial Security Bureau (ISB), who monitor every transmission, scan chains of custody, and make citizens disappear for a single rebellious whisper.
- The Lower Decks & The Deep Underworld (Level 1313 and below): The eternal neon twilight of the deep slums has become an isolated powder keg. Cut off from upper-level resources, powerful syndicates like the Black Sun have been forced deeper into the shadows, running vast underground networks of spice-smuggling and illegal weapons. In these dark, dangerous depths, the first desperate whispers of organized rebel cells begin to echo, ruthlessly hunted by ISB death squads.
vital moons are fully integrated into the Imperial war machine:
- Centax-1: Transformed into a massive, highly restricted garrison world, naval training academy, and orbital command center for the Imperial Fleet.
- Centax-2: A locked-down surveillance satellite housing deep-space listening posts, encrypted HoloNet arrays, and early-warning planetary sensor nets operated by specialized ISB monitoring divisions.
- Centax-3: A bustling, heavily militarized logistics and shipyard hub where Imperial cargo haulers and early Star Destroyers undergo maintenance.
- Hesperia (Centax-4): An exploited mining satellite, heavily fortified by slave-labor forces and Imperial overseers to strip-mine heavy metals and minerals to feed Coruscant's insatiable manufactorums.
On Imperial Coruscant, every level is watched, every datapad is logged, and the heavy boot of the Empire is pressed against the neck of the galaxy.
