Rings of Coruscant

The Rings of Coruscant referred to an artificially created planetary ring that encircled the planet Coruscant. The Yuuzhan Vong formed the ring, which they called the Bridge or the rainbow bridge, in 27 ABY after capturing Coruscant and renaming it Yuuzhan'tar. The invaders destroyed the planet's largest moon via gravity-manipulating dovin basals and used the resulting debris to fashion a ring that orbited Yuuzhan'tar. The resulting planetary ring appeared rainbow-like from the planet surface. However, two years later, in 29 ABY, the Bridge was heavily damaged when the sentient hyperspace-capable planet Zonama Sekot arrived in Yuuzhan'tar's orbit, sundering the Bridge in the process. Even so, it remained in place around the planet a century later, by which time it was known as the Rings of Coruscant and was a popular tourist attraction.
