A comms tower in Coronet City[1] on the Core Worlds planet Corellia[2] operated during the High Republic Era. The tower consisted of a tapered, solid metal pole topped by an antennae cluster. At some point, the aspiring pirate Zyle Keem scaled the comms tower and struggled to maintain their grip on its smooth surface. While climbing an acthorn tree on the Outer Rim planet Valo[1] in 229 BBY,[3] Keem reflected that ascending the tree was easier than their prior experience in Coronet City, thinking they had only stayed on the structure through sheer force of will.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The comms tower was mentioned in Escape from Valo, a 2024 junior novel written by Daniel José Older and Alyssa Wong as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's[1] Phase III.[4]
