Core Worlds (Earth-2042)

"Those who don't live here wish they did."

- Saying among Core Worlders

The Core Worlds (also known as the Galactic Core and, during the Imperial Era, the Imperial Core) are some of the most prestigious, well-developed, well-known, least politically restrictive and heavily populated planets in the galaxy. The Core is the hub of galactic culture, finance, technology, education, and fine arts. Noble houses hold a great deal of influence in this region and almost every interstellar company have offices or are headquartered in the Core Worlds. In astrophysical terms, the Core denote the central area of the galaxy, and in broad terms this is true enough, but the precise usage of the term is often more complex.

The major Rimward hyperlanes radiate outwards around little more than half the galactic disk, and the Core Worlds occupy a C-shaped region of space around the Deep Core, the heart of the astrophysical core (generally considered to be a separate outlier area), extending outwards towards the Unknown Regions.
