Starcourt

Starcourt is a fictional location featured prominently in the *Star Wars* expanded universe, primarily within the *Star Wars: The Old Republic* (SWR) video game series. Located in the Outer Rim sector of the galaxy, Starcourt is a sprawling, multi-tiered space station that serves as a hub for trade, diplomacy, and conflict. The station is divided into several distinct districts, each with its own unique atmosphere and purpose, including residential areas, commercial markets, and military installations.

Starcourt first appears in *Star Wars: The Old Republic*, released in 2011, as a key battleground during the Mandalorian Civil War. The station is later referenced in other *Star Wars* media, including novels, comics, and video games, expanding its lore. Its design blends futuristic architecture with a sense of decay, reflecting the station’s role as a neutral ground where factions clash. The station’s layout includes floating walkways, bustling bazaars, and high-tech facilities, making it a dynamic setting for gameplay and storytelling.

The station’s significance lies in its role as a neutral zone where players can engage in diplomatic missions, trade, and combat. Its districts often serve as staging areas for major conflicts, such as the Mandalorian Civil War and later events in the *SWR* sequel expansion, *Knights of the Fallen Empire*. Starcourt’s reputation as a volatile but essential hub makes it a recurring point of interest in the *Star Wars* universe.

While Starcourt is not a canonical location in the main *Star Wars* film series, it remains a notable part of the expanded universe, offering players a rich, immersive environment to explore. Its design and narrative contributions have influenced other space station concepts in *Star Wars* media, cementing its place as a memorable setting.
