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.

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.
