Coruscant (NKSCF)

"Well, let's just say I was a strapping young lad with a full head of hair, and Coruscant was a small town with a well..."

- Jolee Bindo

Coruscant was the capital of both the Galactic Empire and the Old Republic.

Early History
Lawa Regaan, also known as Darth Vila, was born here around 3,000 BBY.

Galactic Civil War
During the Galactic Civil War, it served as Emperor Palpatine's base of operations, besides Byss.

It was on Coruscant, where Palpatine and Darth Vader received the rogue Jedi Nathaniel Kenobi's wife, Abigail Jade, from the Arkanian smuggler Maka Jeth and his Yaka slave, Duwingo.

The New Republic
After the collapse of the Empire, Coruscant fell into the hands of the New Republic, who controlled Coruscant until it fell to the Yuuzhan Vong in 27 ABY.

It was later liberated by the Galactic Federation of Free Alllances in 30 ABY. It remained in GFFA control for the next few decades, despite numerous movements to overthrow or threaten GFFA security, such as the Second Corellian Insurrection.

Sith Control
During the Sith Crusade, it became obvious to the Jedi and the GFFA that the Sith Order of Decreto's goal was to capture Coruscant itself. To prevent that from happening, they fought back against the Sith, but it was of little avail. The Sith under Darth Abeonis eventually cornered the Alliance, pinned it down to its capital, and invaded it with no mercy. The Sith had succeeded in wrestling Coruscant from the Galactic Alliance's grip. With Coruscant gone, the GFFA collapsed.

The Sith held Coruscant through the Successors War, then through the Legacy Era, though they almost lost it to the rebellion; what was left of the GFFA. They then continued to have it in their possession up until the Zao tenj War, when the Decreton Order faded away, and Coruscant fell back into the control of the Jedi and a new government known as the Restoration Alliance.

Times of Darkness
Throughout the Dark Age, Coruscant stayed in the hand of the Restoration Alliance, and shortly after their victory over Darth Echo's troops in 500 ABY, they renamed themselves the Third Republic.

During the troubled Darkness Era, the Republic was on the verge of collapse on more than one occasion. The point they got closest to collapsing was the DRACOSTORM crisis involving Zack Fayne.

Some time during the Darkness Era but before the Infinbelum Era, the Third Republic collapsed and was replaced with the Fourth Republic.

Following the creation of the Fourth Republic, the Vancita Alliance started the Restoration War, and tried to reunite the Galaxy after the Darkness Era. This involved crushing all other governments, which worked surprisingly well. They conquered Coruscant, and it fell to the VA.

After the conquest, the Jedi started the Shadow Crusades, and though it never reached Coruscant itself, it helped weaken VA power on Coruscant, allowing the remnants of the Fourth Republic step in and conquer the Alliance. They held the capital until the Second Galactic Civil War, which was started by the infamous Coruscant Rebellion, which involved the destruction of the Jedi Temple, and replacing it with the New Imperial Palace.

Control then vied between the Fourth Republic, which then transformed into the Third Galactic Empire, which in turn became the Infinite Sith Empire. After the defeat of the Sith at the Graveyard, the capital fell to the Fifth Republic, and it would stay in its control for nearly a thousand years.
