Coruscant is the most famous city-planet in Star Wars, but it is far from the only ecumenopolis - what are the others, and where have they been seen?
There are many city-planets in Star Wars canon, ranging from the galactic capital of Coruscant to the Hutt homeworld of Nar Shaddaa. Inspired by Isaac Asimov's Foundation novels and short stories, George Lucas always intended the capital of the Star Wars galaxy to be a city-planet . Novelist Timothy Zahn honored this when he introduced the planet Coruscant in his "Thrawn trilogy," and Lucas incorporated this world into the prequels.
7 Hosnian Prime The ill-fated Hosnian Prime has been described as another ecumenopolis . Located along a major hyperspace trade route, it is known to have hosted major factories and industrial complexes. Palpatine went to great lengths to ensure inhabitants of the Core Worlds were satisfied with his reign, but he seems to have been unsuccessful with Hosnian Prime, which is known to have been sympathetic to refugees.
5 Eufornis Major Little is known about the Star Wars city-planet Eufornis Major, which has only been name-dropped a handful of times. It was first mentioned in Jason Fry's novel Servants of the Empire: Rebel in the Ranks, and more recently referenced in Andor. Hopefully Star Wars will eventually reveal more about this Core World. 4 Troithe It's possible Troithe was a Sith haven during the High Republic Era.
The Sith are known to have been active on Troithe, with a secret dark side stronghold in the asteroid belt around the Cerberon singularity. It is entirely possible they orchestrated the planet's economic downfall.
