    I doubt that Coruscant will be re-built like it was before the Vong invaded. In Traitor, the Vong threw off the planetary alignment and smashed one of the moons(I believe), so even if the did rebuild all of the buildings, the system wouldn't be the same again.

    And I suppose it is possible for them to rebuild it somewhat by Denning's trilogy, but I doubt it. Coruscant was a mess at the end of the NJO, and it would take an immense amount of work to clean all the wreckage and Vong life off the planet, much less rebuild anything.

    yeah, I have a feeling we're going to be seeing a more nature friendly Coruscant from now on. It should be interesting to see how people adapt to the presence of the Yuuzhan Vong lifeforms. There will probably be some sort of xenophobia against them as well. It should be interesting to see how Denning handles this.

    I highy doubt it'll be ready to become the capital again by the time of Denning's trilogy. I don't think it'll happen in Han's, Leia's, and Luke's lifetime. Jacen's and Jaina's, maybe.

    Why not? They've rebuilt Coruscant before...
    I imagine Coruscant to be a mix of buildings & greenary/Vong stuff...

    The damage to Coruscant inflicted in DE wasn't so severe and only affected portions of Coruscant, not the whole planet, and even then, was mainly on the surface levels- the Vong have done damage to the foundations it seems.

    it would be interesting if they adapted alpha red to be fast burning, make sure there are no vong on the planet, and then let it loose, allowing structures to collapse as the bio-forms holding them up rot away. and then rebuild as they did after DE -- using giant droids reforming whole buildings.

    either that, or they could demolish stuff and cap it off, forming a new 'ground level' on the ruins of the older stuff, and build anew on top, like they have done for thousands of years. -- the vong layer will be just another strata of coruscant.

    You lot are forgetting the wonderful power of private industry and profit! All that work, all those contracts..Iraq ain't nothing compared to this!

    Ok, yeah, a bad taste gag, but apt.

    Likely the whole planet will get rebuilt, in some miraculous way, remember this is space opera, not SF!

    they'd probably have to rebuild the droids first though. the construction droids needed for a scale of that sort of operation were probably only available in the form of the droids that were already on Coruscant. I can't imagine any other planet needing construction droids that large. Also, the droids got their materials from the buildings and wreckage they were replacing. It's my understanding that the Yuuzhan Vong bio-forming of the planet already bio-degraded many of the buildings and structures on the planet, which would detract from the materials available to any droids. granted, the bio-forms obviously didn't get rid of all the buildings and such, but I'm sure they took care of a significant portion of the materials.

    Well RS let's see, if Lando is involved there is:

    * The tech plus patents
    * Production and selling/leasing of
    * Probable purchase of real estate at obscenely low price which is sold for an obscene profit

    Oh nuts, better stop now, this screams PFI!

    This kinda reminds me of whay happened to Cybertron(home of the transformers). IT was once fully technological, then it was turned into a part tree part techno(part organic, part techno). Many fans didn't like that.

    Anyway I think it was Sovv who said that the damage that the Vong did was mostly surface level, that most of the stuff under the organic was still ok. Also I believe Corusant will keep some organics but not a lot,and the planet will probably be half or over half done by the new Trilogy. I mean it's logical, this is the same galaxy that could build a Death Star in like 3 years.

    It may be built up, but never the megaopolis it once was. It will probably be more on the scale of other Core Worlds (Corellia, Brentaal, Kuat, Esseles).

    Well, since the damage done to the city was catastrophicaly immense (Golans were crashed into the planet!!!) and the Imperial Palace is gone :( this is on an even larger scale than after DE. Basicly, they'll use their giant construction droids to obliterate whole sections of the ruined city and any of the puny Vong-life that gets in their way, at least reconstructing portions (maybe not all) of the metropolis. Or maybe I'll just supress the idea enough and everything would be back to normal :p

    If any of you remember Luke?s vision of Ben as he and mara were joined while she gave birth, one part showed them on what appeeared to be coruscant, but not quite; it was no longer compltely one massive city, but also covered with large areas of vegitation. This, it seems is the destiny of Coruscant. It wil never be the sterile megalopolis it once was, but instead will be blended with the ?vong formed? organic growth.

    I think the vision might be applied to the new capital (whose name eludes me at the moment) as well.

    With the number of Coruscant-like worlds in the galaxy, and the fact that it seems several of them were never touched by the Vong, their are bound to be plenty of construction droids which can be dismantled and transported to Coruscant if they were to actually choose to rebuild the planet.

    TUF states that it will take decades to restore Coruscant. In the meantime, Dennings trilogy will probably focus on Denon (Coruscant clone...)

    Apparently based upon what they said in TUF, the World brain is going to help rebuild Coruscant. This is why Coruscant will be like how Luke envisioned in Rebirth; it will be a merging of GFFA tech, and Yuuzhan Vong Biotech.

    Well, at least Coruscant is going to have a better look than before the invasion. A silver lining to every cloud, as the old cliche goes.

    Funny, Luke was always against having the NR govern from the old Imperial Palace. Now he gets his wish.

    There are a number of key points to what New Republic City (formerly Imperial City) will be like.

    -TUF ends off saying Omas and Kre'fey are happy to have the dhuryam around

    -They will preserve some of the terraforming the Vong initiated as reminders

    -Spaar comments Coruscant was rebuilt from the Dark Empire devestation 6yrs ago then

    -Coruscant now orbits closer to the sun, making it warmer and orbital mirrors obsolete

    -Sekot's reversion in the Coruscant system flung her moons away

    -It's sensible to say there was tectonic disturbance resulting from moving an entire planet (closer in-system in Traitor)

    -Massive amounts of falling orbital debris has devestated large areas of New Rep City, compounded by Coralskipper and warship bombardment

    -The vong had nearly 3yrs to play with Coruscant

    -In KOTOR, the city of Taris was built over a century of prosperity (so the Coruscantlike Taris took around a 100yrs be that?)

    -And the most obvious aspect of the terra-vong-forming of all: their fauna was applied OVER THE SURFACE of the existing permacrete, durasteel and building surfaces!! Yes, it's not attached lightly, but in essence it can be removed.

    And on a nonrelated note, Construction Droids are :cool:

    When was it called New Republic city? I thought he name Imperial City was retained.
