Corellian

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Corellians were the inhabitants of the Corellian Sector. While the term technically referred to both native inhabitants and naturalized citizens, in practice it was generally used to refer to the Human natives of the Corellian system, or more specifically the planet Corellia.

Corellians were among the first Human societies to develop hyperdrive-capable starships, and played an important role in the formation of the Galactic Republic.^[1] Perhaps due to their early involvement with space travel, they were well known for their skills as pilots, scouts, and shipbuilders. Corellian spacers were often stereotyped as brash risk-takers, and were often said to have "rocket fuel for blood."^[2] This stereotype had a ring of truth, as many well-known pirates, smugglers and gamblers were Corellians.

Though Corellian spacers were spread across the galaxy, their culture did have an isolationist streak, which drove them to seek independence from the Galactic Republic and its successors several times.^[3] Some Corellian sects refused to marry non-Corellians, or "eksters." If members of these sects did marry non-Corellians, they would be banished from their family.^[source?]

Corellians had a strong military tradition. Many Corellians served in the Corellian Security Force (better known as CorSec),^[4] or in galactic-level military organizations such as the Republic Navy, Imperial Navy, Rebel Alliance Navy, New Republic Defense Fleet and the Galactic Alliance Defense Fleet. For Corellians, the highest military honor was the Corellian Bloodstripe.^[5]

The Second Galactic Civil War which started in 40 ABY created an upsurge of anti-Corellian feeling even amongst their fellow Humans. On Coruscant, Corellians were regarded with suspicion by their fellow citizens and many were interned including those who had fought for the Galactic Alliance and its predecessors. In response, several worlds seceded from the Galactic Alliance particularly Commenor and Bothawui to form the Confederation.^[6][7]
