Galactic Center
Canon Linked from 11 articles
The Galactic Center was a supermassive black hole that existed at the center of the galaxy within the Deep Core. Like other black holes, it was identified as a star of class P. Its mass was estimated to be four million stellar masses, and all four hundred billion stars in the galaxy revolved around it. Antimatter, gas, and approximately thirty million densely packed stars closely surrounded the Galactic Center, though the latter was not within its immediate vicinity. While no living sentient had ever witnessed the Galactic Center firsthand, probe droids had been sent to observe it and confirmed its existence. Despite its actual location to the northeast of the Galactic Center on the galactic plane, the planet Coruscant was also commonly referred to as the center of the galaxy.
