Korvalus Tower

Korvalus Tower was a residential tower located in the Axial Park district's Archival Square of Coronet City, the capital city of the planet Corellia. Thousands of meters high, the tower was home to thousands of civilians, and in 3640 BBY, during the Battle of Corellia between the Galactic Republic and the reconstituted Sith Empire, the latter's forces seized control of the building.

They installed weapons known as the Firestorm Turbolaser in the upper floors of several buildings, including Korvalus Tower, as part of Operation Firestorm—a Sith plot designed by the fallen Jedi Master Tol Braga to inflict heavy casualties in Axial Park with the turbolasers. However, the Jedi Knight known as the Hero of Tython flew an assault shuttle to one of the tower's landing pads and infiltrated Korvalus Tower, eliminating the Imperials and Sith within and destroying the Firestorm Turbolaser. The top floor featured large red carpets and indoor potted plants, as with other buildings in the city at the time.
