This means that even without the HoloNet, in many cases information is only a hyperspace trip away. In addition, datacards and other forms of news and information are carried from place to place by starships. This reduction of the system cut off rebellious worlds and kept news of the Empire's actions from spreading too quickly.
During the time of the Empire, large portions of the HoloNet system were shut down, and the remaining portions were mostly restricted to government and military use.
Using hundreds of thousands of non-mass transceivers connected through hyperspace simutunnels and routed through massive computer sorters and decoders, the HoloNet allows news and communications to flow from one world to another in almost real time. A near-instantaneous communications network, it provides a free flow of holograms and other forms of communications among member worlds. The Old Republic developed the HoloNet to handle this. Again, such opportunities for Species and cultures to mingle isn't unusual- they're just part of everyday life.įinally, a galactic society requires open communications to flourish. Markets throughout the galaxy feature a wide assortment of exotic goods from a variety of worlds. This diversity has led to a spread of ideas, philosophies, sciences, and cultures. They don't always get along, but that could be said about any individuals in any Species. From planetary spaceports to orbiting space stations, it isn't unusual to for Humans and Twi'leks and Mon Calamari to work side by side or otherwise interact. There are some beings who are prejudiced against one or another Species (And this is especially noticeable during The Empire's control of the galaxy), but most others appreciate the diversity the galactic society has to offer. Since fantastic locales are a big part of what make Star Wars exiting and fun, it is important to know a little bit about the established worlds in order to base adventures there.īecause the galaxy has had some form of interrelated society for more than twenty thousand years (Be it the Old Republic, The Empire, or The New Republic), most everyone is used to a mix of Species and cultures. Each of these worlds has its own unique qualities and cultures. The Star Wars universe is populated with a wide variety of Species, hailing from thousands of worlds.
