Pardon the thread title; I started using the Obi Wan supporter skin, so I've had Ewan McGregor staring at me all day.

This seems to be a question that we keep cycling our way around to, but never really resolve. There was some talk last time of trying to kick off some darksider / Sith action over there, but presumably with what's going down with the latest Sith resurgance, that's all on-hold.

So... is Corellia defaulted back to how it appears in the EU...


With the declaration of the New Order, Diktat Dupas Thomree made a deal with Palpatine: Thomree could govern Corellian Sector as he wished (mostly free of Imperial mandates) as long as he paid taxes, war matériel, and homage to the Emperor.

...or has something different been established on Fans thus far? Did any of the post-Endor events that appeared in the EU occur (in some form or other), such as this...


A week after the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, Alliance pilots from Rogue Squadron, as well as Ten Numb and Han Solo, were ambushed by Imperial forces on Corellia. A large number of Imperials streamed into the planet following the death of Palpatine, giving new power to pro-Imperial factions on the world. A large Imperial fleet was soon sent by the Imperial Ruling Council to defend the world and its shipyards, including forces from Ord Mirit.

...or have a completely separate set of events unfolded over the last three years? Is any of that already established, or is it something that hasn't been worked out as yet? Is it worth doing so, or does no one really care?

I only ask 'cause a few of my characters are Corellian, and one still lives there. :uhoh

Personally, I like the idea of the Corellian Sector being "not Imperial", but allied with the Empire. It matches up with the precedent established both in EU and on Fans for the Corporate Sector, and for the Bothawui Sector before it was liberated by the Rebels.

Ultimately though, I don't really mind what the status of Corellia is, just as long as I know what it is. :ohno

For reference, the Fans wiki page for Corellia is just a direct copy of the Wookieepedia page from the look of things... complete with references to the New Republic et al. Once we know what's going on, I'll spend some of my abundant free time on doing a rewrite, or something. :)

I have been operating under the assumption that although they might technically be in Imperial space, Corellia governs itself and remains predominantly unaffected by thr homogenisation that the Empire has enforced on other worlds - partly because they are human, and partly because they don't give thr Empire any trouble, so they don't get any in return. They just get on with their lives as they always did, regardless of who is calling themselves Emperor.
