Hosnian Prime

Hosnian Prime is a planet in the Hosnian system of the galactic Core Worlds, located along the highly frequent and economically relevant Corellian Trade Spine. One of the earliest colony planets of the worlds of the Deep Core and Core regions, Hosnian Prime quickly amassed in population, wealth and relevance mainly due to its strategic location and temperate to mediterranean planetary climate. Over thousands of years of colonial rule, the settlements of the planet grew and fused with each other to form a single planet-spanning ecumenopolis, which is still today divided into singular "cities" adminsitratively and by name; Republic City is the most populous of Hosnian Prime's "cities" with 497 million inhabitants and its capital.

After the foundation of the New Republic, Hosnian Prime was chosen to headquarter the New Republic High Command, the government's military administration and leadership, and is therefore equiped with multiple space ports, hangar complexes and the operations basis of New Republic Home Fleet, guarding the capitals of the New Republic, Coruscant and Chandrila. The planet is also a significant tourist attraction for its stunning natural beauty and striking architecture.

Much of the New Republic's admiralty and generalty is located on Hosnian Prime, with Fleet Admiral Gial Ackbar and General Hera Syndulla permanently living on the planet. It is also the home of the New Republic Fleet Office and Special Operations Headquarters, as well as the operations basis of the Sixth Fleet, or Arrowhead Fleet.
