Storyteller has created a new group called Tales from Coruscant.
Coruscant
From space, “the jewel of the Core Worlds” can almost be mistake for an artificial construct. Where other worlds have forests, grasslands, and oceans, Coruscant has factories, skyscrapers, and aquifers. Every scrap of surface area, except for the tiny polar ice caps, has been smothered by a dense layer of urbanization. In many places, this layer is covered by another layer, then another and another, creating canyons that plunge vertically for kilometers.
Orbital traffic encloses the planet like electrons around a nucleus, delivering food and supplies, ambassadors and tourists. Magnetic guidance lines organize atmospheric traffic into rows on a rigid grid. Landing platforms hovering among the traffic lanes accommodate the few private starships that are permitted to break orbit. Airbuses and air taxis ferry Coruscant’s citizens, while cargo transfer passes through freight tunnels underground. Pipelines suck water from the polar ice caps, and store it in reservoirs, which sometimes do double duty as aesthetic attractions for the locals as in the so called “Western Sea.”
Most of the population is concentrated around the equator and in Republic City, a metropolis the size of a continent and distinguished from surrounding conurbation by its sheer height. The lowest levels of Republic City have not seen daylight in tens of thousands of years. Descending to ground level is like climbing into the depths of a murk cave and nearly as dangerous. Haywire droids, carnivorous fungi, and mutated troglodytes run rampant in this terrifying shadow world. But it’s possible, and even expected, for Coruscanti to live their entire lives kilometers removed from the unpleasantness of the depths. Everything is a short walk or a flitter ride away, and the politicians for whom Coruscant is a second home have made sure the planet is never lacking in luxury.
Coruscanti are the most well-educated people in the galaxy. For that reason, they can be highly controversial. While others respect their sophistication, they also view Coruscanti as insufferably arrogant. Native Coruscanti often act bored when traveling off world, and they view visitors to their planet (tourists they call them, whether they are or not) with inborn insolence.
The lives of the citizens of Corusant and the visitors and tourists are the focus of this faction. With so much going on the city planet is never dull and there is always an adventure waiting around every turn.
