Districts[]
- Collective Commerce District
- CoCo Town was an informal name that referred to the Collective Commerce District located on the planet Coruscant. It was an industrial area located in the upper levels of Galactic City near the Senate District. It was noted for its wide range of businesses, eateries, and public centers including theaters and museums. One of the eateries in CoCo Town was Dex's Diner, which was owned and operated by a Besalisk named Dexter Jettster. In 22 BBY, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi came to CoCo Town to ask Dexter Jettster about the origin of a Kaminoan saberdart, which had been used to kill an assassin named Zam Wesell.

- Dex's Diner was patterned in the style of an old fashioned diner. It was owned and operated by a male Besalish alien named Dexter Jettster. The eatery served traditional mid-day fare such as nerf steak and juri juice. It's advertising slogan was "The Best Eats in the CoCo Town Streets". In addition to Dexter, who was the cook, Dex's Diner was served by both living and robotic wait staff including Hermione Bagwa, FLO, and R4-A22. By the end of the Clone Wars, the diner had been destroyed.

The planet itself was not identified as Coruscant until many years later in the Star Wars: Heir to the Empire novel by Timothy Zahn.
- During the time of the Yuuzhan Vong occupation, the planet as well as it's capital city were renamed Yuuzhan'tar.
