"But some of the old-timers resent newcomers. They think we're all Core Worlders come to exploit them and tell them they're doing everything wrong."
―Merei Spanjaf
The Core Worlds, also known as the Galactic Core, the Coruscant Core, the Core systems, or simply the Core, was the area of the galaxy that bordered the Deep Core and contained some of the wealthiest and most prestigious planets. Coruscant, the galactic capital during the time of the Galactic Republic and subsequent Galactic Empire, was located in the Core Worlds. Citizens from the Core Worlds were stereotyped as being snobs, rich, and speaking with a clipped, practiced accent. Core World design emphasized freedom of customization, which showed in the modular construction techniques of Core-built ships.
