Umate stood as the tallest mountain within the Manarai range located on Coruscant. By the time of the Republic Era, it was the sole mountain not covered by the ecumenopolis. The mountain's base, situated beneath the plaza, was integrated into the city-planet's structure, resulting in a network of tunnels. The summit of Umate, which served as the focal point of Monument Plaza, became a well-known destination for sightseers, and Supreme Chancellor Lina Soh enjoyed going there while she was in office.
During the time of the New Republic, it was against the rules to touch Umate, and if you tried, a droid would caution you to not make physical contact with the mountain.
