Coruscant

Coruscant is an independent planet in the Core.

Project Genesis
Lord Cameron Centurion unleashed a horde of force-engineered beasts upon the planet. Numbering in the tens of thousands, the horde sweept across the surface of the planet like a destructive force of nature. Though the majority of the warriors and beasts are either severely injured or otherwise killed, there are still many that remain - continuing to pick off what little remains.

At the same time, Cameron Centurion commissioned a team of scientists to create a bacterial virus spread through the Coruscant weather control system. Upon hitting the atmosphere, the virus immediately began sweeping across the surface. The method by which said virus is transferred between victims has yet to be ascertained and thus it continues to spread throughout Coruscant.

The vast majority of skyhooks and buildings were destroyed due to a viscious orbital bombardment. The Coruscant Defense Fleet was either destroyed or permanently repositioned as well. Specific destroyed buildings include The Palace, Old Jedi Temple, Senate, Municipal Authority Headquarters, all key financial institutions, all military installations, and most large commercial buildings. Locations specifically not targeted include the Red Lady and 501 Republica. Orbital Defense Batteries were self-destructed at the end of the bombardment and the weather and shield generators permanently destroyed.
