It's the year of 21 BBY, two years after the Galactic Empire took the reigns to rule the galaxy with the Supreme Chancellor Palpatine being the Emperor.
The planet Coruscant, which was the heart of the galaxy (not precisely right in the center of the galaxy, but who would mind that tiny detail?), was bustling and hustling as usual. The trillions of people who lived there and those who visited for a short periods of time were all on and about with their businesses there.
Higher levels were filled with wealthy and culturally important people. The expensive restaurants and entertainment facilities welcomed each who could afford it.
The lower levels, the place for middle class, poor, and illegal were also busy. Middle class was working, poor trying to scrap together to survive, and illegal were doing things mostly against the law.
