Expanded Dossier
⬢ CURATED RECORDByss is a Deep Core secret: a blue-green world the Emperor kept off most charts, a throneworld for experiments and rebirths. Palpatine's clones, Dark Empire fleets, and a population soothed into compliance are the Legends file. Canon still treats the Deep Core as a place he hid things.
If a search says 'Emperor's hidden world,' Byss is the name the old Holonet returns. It is not Coruscant. It is where he went when Coruscant was a stage.
