CORELLIAN TRADE SPINE

The earliest section of the Corellian Trade Spine con-
nected Corellia to Duro. Eventually, the route was ex-
tended to the southern end of the galaxy. As it leads
to a less-developed and populated area of the galaxy,
the Trade Spine is not as economically prosperous
as other routes. Its southern tip leads to areas only
recently explored in galactic terms. The Trade Spine
intersects with the Rimma Trade Route at Yag'Dhul,
and the Hydian Way at Terminus.

Notable Locations: Corellia, Duro, Bestine, Yag'Dhul,

Bespin, Hoth, and Terminus.

RIMMA TRADE ROUTE

The Rimma Trade Route serves a number of influential

or otherwise important systems and sectors through-

out the southern areas of the galaxy. The Rimma was

originally created by Tapani Sector merchants, blazing

their way from the Colonies towards Abregado-rae in

the Core Worlds and out to the distant Kathol Sector

at the edge of the galaxy. The Herglic trade empire

and the Tapani helped fuel expansion into the south-

ern regions. The Rimma intersects with the Corellian

Trade Spine at Yag'Dhul, and the Hydian

Way at strategically impor-

tant Eriadu.
