Tyrena was an important city on the planet Corellia.

Characteristics

The city Tyrena was split into two major sections connected by long bridges over the Auric River.[2]

Considered Corellia's most popular tourist destination, Tyrena featured lavish hotels, vast ornamental plazas, the busiest beach on the planet, and music venues unrivaled across the world.[4] Tyrena served Corellia as the hub of culture and tourism due to its beauty and the city planning that went into its layout. Parks and plazas separated luxury hotels and resorts, and decorative bridges crossed the Auric. The theater district contained the Tyrena School of art, the Tyrena Dance Company, and the Corellian Symphony Orchestra.[2] Tyrena was also the location of Groola's Place, an underground entertainment complex.[3]

Tyrena was popular among adventurers, because it was relatively close to many of Corellia's most exciting attractions. Tyrena served as an excellent staging ground for forays into the Agrilat Swamps, slice hound hunting expeditions, and trips to the planet's stunning Gold Beaches.[4] Tyrena was the closest city to the Gold Beaches, and a grav-train line connected the city and the beaches.[3]

A rough section of Tyrena was known as the Skids.[3]

History

Built along the Auric River, Tyrena was founded as two separate cities: Ty and Rennah. Merging over the centuries, Tyrena became a commercial metropolis of great importance.[2]

During the Galactic Civil War, Tyrena appeared totally self-governed and free of Imperial entanglements. However, stormtroopers were present to "keep the peace," and the Empire taxed many of Tyrena's most lucrative businesses. Rebel agents could be found in Tyrena, hiding amid the throngs of tourists.[4] Despite the Empire's somewhat restrictive hold on the city, Tyrena still prospered. During the Galactic Civil War, the city hosted several Festivals of Love.[5]

Residents

Residents or visitors of the city in the time after the Battle of Yavin included Crev Bombaasa, Didina Lippinoss, Hal Horn, Jom Irimore, Karena Keer, Noren Krast, Shalera the Hutt, Acun Solari, Adar Talon,[1] Kreezo, J'pai Brek, Veega Madish,[6] Jark, Madison Silene, Kyran Silene, Bandor Mokk, Faye Patrick, Alana Walden,[7] and Matarmeno Krahnn.[8]

Behind the scenes

Tyrena appeared in the video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[9]
