Centax-3,[6] or Centax 3, and nicknamed "The Aunt," was the third[5] of four[7] moons orbiting the planet Coruscant. The Aloo family had a residence there.[3]
Shortly after the destruction of the planet Alderaan, Anandra Milon, an Alderaanian resident of Coruscant, asked an old man running the Hangra's Meat Shack stall about a "Centax 3 delivery." The man did not know what she was talking about, and eventually took pity on her, giving her a small amount of food.[8]
The headquarters of the Coalition for Progress, the Galactic Empire's propaganda division, was located on Centax 3.[5]

Notes and references[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Ultimate Star Wars places Coruscant in the Coruscant subsector, located within the Corusca sector of the Core Worlds. As The Mighty Chewbacca in the Forest of Fear! establishes that Centax 3 orbits Coruscant, it must be located in the same sector and region.
- ↑ Star Wars: Galactic Atlas identifies Coruscant's star system as the Coruscant system. The Mighty Chewbacca in the Forest of Fear! states that Centax 3 is a moon of Coruscant, therefore it must be located in the same system.
