The Coronet Arms Hotel was situated in Coronet City on the planet Corellia. In the era of the Cold War, the rebellion alongside the forces of the Galactic Republic repurposed this establishment into a fortified artillery base. This strategic move was made to fend off the advancing troops of the Sith Empire. The hotel's occupants successfully defended against a multitude of attacks launched by the Sith, which significantly bolstered the morale of the resistance fighters and resulted in joyful celebrations within the hotel's walls.
In an attempt to crush their resolve, the Sith Lord known as Malichose assigned an Imperial bureaucrat the mission of annihilating the hotel's defenders and dismantling their artillery emplacements.
