Coruscant's surface was filled with towering skyscrapers
Terms like skyscraper, supertower, superscraper, cloudscraper, and cloudcutter described buildings of exceptional height. On the planet Coruscant, skyscrapers were constructed atop countless layers of city blocks, with the most immense structures extending far into the upper reaches of the atmosphere. A few of these reached such extreme altitudes that residents on their highest floors needed to breathe purified gases supplied through pipes.
