Galactic City Spaceport served as the main spaceport for Coruscant for many centuries leading up to the Clone Wars. The construction of Chancellor Palpatine Spaceport caused it to lose its position as the city's principal spaceport, but many senators still chose to use the Galactic City Spaceport to bypass the chaos of the newer facility.
A hostage incident that involved Korunnai terrorists took place there during the Clone Wars.
