Toxen Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I have a problem with the Core Worlds and the fact that most of the galaxy's population tends to be concentrated around the center of the galaxy. Wouldn't the center of a spiral-type galaxy like Star War's be packed with all kinds of nebula, black holes, quasars, electromagnetic interference, and have so much gravity distortion that it would make space travel very very tricky around those parts?

truedark Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 They don't. Most of the population of the galaxy is located around the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akirator Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Because the "Core Worlds" aren't actually in the exact middle of the galaxy, they are in a circle around the outer edge of the bulge. The actual middle is as you described and travel is extremely difficult in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZDProletariat Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 The common traveling routes mapped lead around the unstable bulge in the middle because hyperspace is impossible through them. Any other questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing. Also, suspension of disbelief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerion Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) In the event that the OP is serious, let me endeavor to answer. Galaxies vary in structure immensely. Some have much more star forming nebula than others, some have greater star densities, etc. In fact, one could probably find conditions around the center of a galaxy, say between spiral arms, that mirror those found in regions farther out. Also, quasars are galaxies themselves...high energy galaxies...and wouldn't be found near the center of another galaxy. Finally, electromagnetic forces are rather weak at large distances, and I'd hazard a guess that it wouldn't interfere with a travel technology, warping, that allows one to be in 'hyper space' or outside of normal space.
