The '''Deep Core''' is at the center of the galaxy, even closer than the [[Core Worlds]] like [[Coruscant]] and [[Alderaan]].

It has countless stars packed together in a relatively small area, so [[hyperspace]] travel is slow and dangerous. The intense radiation and relatively young stars mean that it has very few habitable worlds compared to the rest of the galaxy. The few known worlds of the Deep Core include [[Byss]] (whereto the disembodied consciousness of Emperor [[Palpatine]] fled after his death at the [[Battle of Endor]], according to Expanded Universe literature), Khomm, Ruan, and the [[List of Star Wars planets (E-G)#Empress Teta|Empress Teta]] system. The [[Koornacht Cluster]] is one particularly dense area of stars, located at the edge of the Deep Core bordering on the Core Worlds, and contains numerous planets including [[List of Star Wars planets (M-N)#N'zoth III|N'Zoth]], the homeworld of the [[Yevetha]]. The moon [[Ebaq 9]] was the setting for a major battle during the [[Yuuzhan Vong invasion]], resulting in a [[New Republic (Star Wars)|New Republic]] victory following the successful execution of a trap for the [[Yuuzhan Vong]].
