Greetings from the great Imperial pilot, Baron Fel.

My questions is this:

What are the homeworlds of Capatin Gilad Pellaeon and General Turr Phennir?

I've checked around a couple sites, the novels, and the comics but I haven't been able to find them.

The Essential Guide to Characters says he's from Corellia, but I don't know where they're getting that from...

Probably from WEG, I personally don't put so strict "Canon"guidelines on Star Wars, for me, pretty much anything goes

Talking with my best friend, a huge SW fan, Pellaeon is from Coruscant (he believes) and Phennir might be from Corellia.

Speaking of homeworlds, from which planet did humans in SW as a whole originate from? I don't believe this issue was ever dealt with.

Posted by Fabrux (Member # 71) on :

Well, I'm in the process of reading the chronology, and it mentions "lost human colony worlds". No light into where they come from, though.

Aren't they the lost 13th colony?

We sent colonies out that long ago? Wow. And we thought it was bad when the Greco-Roman culture was lost. We had spaceflight millions of years ago!

Posted by Timo (Member # 245) on :

A stupid question from a newbie, but here comes:

Has any of the SW movies so far established that Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Ben Kenobi or Lando Carlissian are considered "humans"?

Han obviously is a Corellian, but that need not be his species. The others are indeterminate. And in TPM, the writers obviously go the great lengths to avoid saying the word "human" - it's always just "your species" in that movie. Other movies seem to skirt the issue altogether. I couldn't vouch for the extended universe, though.

So, is there such a thing as "the human race" in the SW galaxy?

Well, apparently all empire-staff on all Star destroyers come from the same species. But that red-eyed freak Thrawn, what is he?

Posted by USS Vanguard (Member # 130) on :

I think it is generally accepted that when they look like humans, they are humans. I'm not sure, but I think the Human homeworld has never been mentioned and Coruscant, Corellia, etc, etc are not the homeworlds. Its sort of like how people from America are called Americans, although they might come from Ireland, or Germany, or Russia, or South Africa, etc. So people who live on Corellia are called Corellians but that does not mean that they originate from there.

Well, let's see. We have Correllians, Coruscantians, Alderaanians, Tatooines, what else?

Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :

Just so you know, that 13th colony bit was an apparently too carefully guarded reference to Battlestar Galactica, in which humans from a decidedly non-Earth setting went looking for Earth, the lost 13th colony. (Or was it 12th?)

Anyway, this is all made so clever by the allegations that Galactica was copied from Star Wars.

Don't worry, Sol. I got it, so at least one person did.

And it was 13th.

I always assumed Corellia was the homeworld although I doubt it has or ever will be revealed the true origin of humans in SW.

So, one way of putting it would be that the Empire's best starfighter pilots (the ones we've heard of, not counting Maarek Stele from 'TIE Fighter') come from Corellia and some of the Empire's best naval commanders (the ones we know where they're from) come from Coruscant or other Core worlds.

Hmm, I see some sort of a pattern here. The 'Core Region' is the 'Core crop' of Imperial personnel. :P

Warlord (Admiral) Zsinj was from Fondor;
Captain/Vice Admiral/Admiral/Grand Admiral? Giliad Pellaeon was from Coruscant;
Captain/Admiral Piett I'm guessing was from Coruscant;
the twelve Grand Admirals (Zaarin, Syn, Grunger, Pitta, Takel, Il-Raz, Batch, Grant, and four others) were presumably from the Core region.

There's definately a pattern here.

Posted by Teelie (Member # 280) on :

The Grandest Grand Admiral, Mitt, wasn't even from the known regions.

And Pelleaon was/is a Grand Admiral, at least in the Hand of Thrawn books.

As to the pattern, it could be just coincedence.

Posted by Soontir_Fel on :

Mitt? Oh, you mean Thrawn. Yeah, but if you look at the Grand Admirals in order of promotion, Thrawn was the thirteenth, the replacement for Zaarin.

Pellaeon's 'Grand Admirality' was mentioned in Dark Tide II: Ruin, although he was just clad in the uniform of a Grand Admiral. Self promotion? Gilad doesn't seem like the person to do that.

And yes, it probably could be coincedence. It probably is because most of the major human planets are in the Core region.
