Legend

this was the name given to the large mass of orbiting debris created around the planet Esfandia, in the wake of the Battle of Esfandia. It was named for the Yuuzhan Vong Commander, B'shith Vorrik, who had tried to destroy the Esfandia Long-Range Communications Base on the planet's surface. However, faced with the combined forces of the Galactic Alliance and the Imperial Remnant, Vorrik was unable to hold the planet. His flagship, the Kur-hashan was badly damaged in battle, and Vorrik tried to ram his attackers with the dying hulk. The ship exploded before it could do any damage, creating the largest chunks of debris around the planet. The Galactic Alliance worked diligently to make sure none of the orbital debris fell to the planet's surface, protecting both the base itself and the population of Brrbrlpp which lived in the atmosphere. Much of the debris coalesced into an asteroid-sized mass, the primary body in Vorrik's Folly.
