Deep Core

The Deep Core, also known as the Deep Galactic Core, was a small region in the galaxy, about seven thousand light-years across and was home to some thirty billion of the galaxy's oldest stars, and at its center was a supermassive black hole surrounded by antimatter and dense clusters where stars were only a hundredth of a light year apart. Thinly populated and largely inaccessible due to the gravitational pull of the vast number of stars and the prominence of dark matter concentrations, with local space-time was severely warped, making hyperspace travel difficult at best. Nevertheless, the Deep Core held great strategic value because of its position near the Core Worlds.
