Legend

this hyperspace pathway connected a backwater group of planets in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy to the main Corellian Trade Spine. The Ison Corridor began at the planet Varonat and passing through Bespin, Anoat, and Hoth, before terminating in the Ison System. It took about fourteen hours to jump between each of these systems along the Corridor. It was located just off the Corellian Trade Spine, a much more profitable and understood hyperspace pathway which drew much of the Corridor's potential traffic. However, the Ison Corridor avoided the heart of the Ivax Nebula, making it marginally safer to travel. Scientists believed that the coalescing gases and debris in the Ison System would eventually shut off the rimward end of the Ison Corridor, rendering the travel route obsolete. Note that the Rebellion Era Sourcebook indicates that Anoat and Ison are the terminal systems along the Ison Corridor, and that Bespin is the midpoint.
