Corellia was the capital planet of the Corellian Sector, which included Corellia, Selonia, Drall, Tralus, and Talus. It was also the birthplace of smuggler and New Republic General Han Solo and Rogue Squadron pilot-cum-New Republic hero Wedge Antilles.
Collectively, the planets of the system were known as the Five Brothers. As the largest planet and the closest to Corell, Corellia was often called the "Eldest Brother" or the "Eldest." Historians believe the Celestials assembled the system artificially, the worlds brought from other parts of the galaxy, for unknown reasons. Some believe that these Celestials populated Corellia with Humans from Coruscant.

GEOGRAPHY
Corellia's surface was extremely temperate, dominated by rolling hills, thick forests, lush farmland, golden beaches, and large seas. With most of its famed manufacturing centers lifted into orbit, the planet remained largely rural and undeveloped, with small villages and farming communities comprising the bulk of urban development. The largest cities were Coronet—the planetary capital, the tourist haven of Kor Vella, the double-city Tyrena, and the mountain hamlets of Doaba Guerfel and Bela Vistal. Immigrants from the neighboring planet of Selonia constructed an elaborate network of tunnels beneath the planet's surface. These Selonian Tunnels were used by people of all races as a kind of subterranean metropolis, though the deepest levels were traveled exclusively by Selonians. Space above Corellia was dominated by massive shipyards.
Corellia is a commercial and manufacturing center. Home to multi-stellar corporate conglomerates, many of which compete directly with the Trade Federation and Intergalactic Banking Clan for galactic influence. With trade and corporate profits driving much here, Corellians are all working for one or another company. Over time the companies became so powerful they overthrew the historic parliamentary constitutional monarchy (the Royal House of Razur, ca. 150 BBY) in favor of a government more supportive of the needs of commercialism. This corporate government was called the Diktat, which may mean a person and/or a council. The Diktat and government in general makes it easier for the corporations to train and employ Corellians. These companies house, feed, entertain and direct their employees through their tenure of employment (usually life-long), though technically each employee is a free Corellian citizen.
CULTURE
Corellians were often considered intrepid and maverick by other Core peoples, spawning expressions warning against telling a Corellian the odds for success; for a Corellian, beating the odds is always a reward in itself. This sense of immortality was visible in the common Corellian tradition of cremating the dead and compressing their ash into synthetic diamonds with artificial gravity generators. Corellians also dealt justice to those that committed the most heinous acts with a death penalty.
Corellians were a sentimental breed, and when separated from their homeworld became sentimental at the sight of Corellian treats like the sweet ryshcate pastry or a bottle of the woody potable Whyren's Reserve. There was a Corellian sect known as the Ensterites whom forbade marriage with anyone from outside the Corellian system. Marrying someone from outside the Corellian system would result in being shunned by one's fellow Ensterites. It was a Corellian custom for husbands-to-be to have large bachelor parties with their friends.
Family was held in high respect on Corellia. It was considered most dishonorable to involve innocent family members in a quarrel held with one family member. Conversely, great courage was seen as highly honorable, deserving of outward recognition through traditions such as the Corellian Bloodstripe.
Corellia was originally a monarchy, but was ruled by a democratic government after Berethron e Solo established constitutional rule in 312 BBY.

HISTORY
Early years
Corellia was home to a fortified republic base during the Mandalorian Wars. The Jedi Revan was said to have placed this base strategically in the War to lure in the Mandalorians, dare they come that close to the core worlds, and strike them from a hidden fleet while they concentrated on decimating the surface of the planet. The Mandalorians were defeated before then, however, the base proved a key element in later battles during the Jedi Civil War and long after.
CLONE WARS
In the months leading up to the Clone Wars, Corellian Senator Garm Bel Iblis withdrew his planet from the galactic community in protestation of the Military Creation Act, using a little known clause in the Corellian constitution.
This attempt at isolation did not succeed and Corellia, like the rest of the galaxy, was soon embroiled in the horror of the Clone Wars. In the Galactic Civil War, Corellia was the site of the Corellian Treaty, which founded the Rebel Alliance.
Corellia is also home to the Corellian Engineering Corporation, one of the larger shipbuilding firms in the Star Wars galaxy. Examples of Corellian ships are the Corellian Corvette an example of which is the Tantive IV, the ship used by Princess Leia in A New Hope; and the YT-1300, better known as the Millennium Falcon.

NEW REPUBLIC
After the Yuuzhan Vong War, the system tried to avoid aiding other systems' economies, claiming independence yet striving to retain membership in the Galactic Alliance. Diplomatic relations became further and further strained by both the supposed existence of a planetary assault fleet, and the efforts of Corellia's president, Thrackan Sal-Solo, to reactivate Centerpoint Station. Eventually relations became so strained that the Galactic Alliance launched an assault on the system, calling on Jacen Solo and Ben Skywalker to disable the station. After several failed calls for diplomacy, both sides were gearing up to fight.
