Legend

this ring of asteroids was located in the Vahaba System. Scientists believed that the asteroid belt was formed when one of Vahaba's larger planets was struck by a comet or stray asteroid. The belt itself is quite large, with pieces of planetary debris strewn across a vast distance. This makes navigation through the belt hazardous. It was targetted for assault by the New Republic task force hunting Warlord Zsinj, but the commanding officers chose to strike at Comkin Five first. Han Solo then took the Mon Remonda to Vahaba, where he was met by Admiral Rogriss and the Stellar Web, in the hopes of trapping Zsinj and the Iron Fist in the system. The plan nearly succeeded, but Zsinj's forces inflicted as much damage as they took, and were able to escape.
