Hidden within the densely packed mass of stars at the very heart of the galaxy, the Deep Core (also known as the Deep Galactic Core or Core Systems) was a small region that hid unusual worlds. The Deep Core was home to the galaxy's oldest stars, at its center was a black hole surrounded by antimatter and dense star clusters. Due to the gravitational pull of the vast number of stars, local space-time was severely warped, making hyperspace travel difficult at best. The region was thought to be inaccessible until Emperor Palpatine found several safe hyperlanes into the region. The area remained an Imperial stronghold almost twenty years after the Battle of Endor.

Other Deep Core locations
|
|
Eclipse was a planet in the Deep Core, hidden in an asteroid field. It wasn't discovered until late in the EU - so it's up for grabs now
Tarkin's Fang was a secret Imperial base planet located in the Deep Core, near the Treskov system. It was founded shortly after the Galactic Empire was formed. Wilhuff Tarkin was the founder of this base and, after a four-day orbital bombardment of the planet, landed a division of Imperial Army forces on it and established a research facility on its battered crust.
Tsoss Beacon was an asteroid in the Deep Core, containing an Imperial communications relay station built in 3 BBY.
The Starswarm Cluster was a cluster of stars near the Empress Teta system. Gav and Jori Daragon passed through here while mapping new hyperspace routes.
