Ecumenopolis

An ecumenopolis was a planet or moon entirely encompassed by a single city. Due to their lack of exploitable ground, such world-spanning cities were dependent on imports for food and raw materials. The bounty hunter Imara Vex found working on an ecumenopolis to be difficult as both the hunter and their bounty could easily hide away.

There were only a handful of ecumenopolis in the galaxy. Many of them, such as the galactic capital of Coruscant, as well as Denon and Eufornis Major, were situated in the Core Worlds; others were in the Deep Core, such as Troithe, and Empress Teta. City-worlds in the Outer Rim Territories included Botajef, Nar Shaddaa, Taris, Uchinao, and Wind. The ecumenopolis planet Eyo-Dajuritz was considered to be fossilized by the time of the Imperial Era.
