Rokwahl Asteroid Belt
- "Warning to all spacefarers. Asteroid belt exists in outer orbit. Follow transponder buoys for safe passage. Tampering with buoys a capital offense."
- ―A warning given to spacefarers in the Lazerian system
The Rokwahl Asteroid Belt was located in the Lazerian system, occupying its eighth orbital position.[3] The asteroid belt was located within the Kira sector,[2] in the Trailing Sectors portion of the Expansion Region.[1] Rokwahl orbited the yellow star known as Lazerian and was found along the trade routes known as the Harrin Trade Corridor and Kira Run.[3]
At some point, Rokwahl, alongside the rest of the system, was surveyed by the Lazerians of the planet Lazerian IV. Some of the asteroids were used for mining purposes, and a series of transponder buoys were positioned in the belt to allow starship traffic to pass through unharmed. A warning to spacefarers informed them of the buoys and stated that tampering with them was a capital offense.[3]
Behind the scenes
The Rokwahl Asteroid Belt was created by John Terra and introduced in Twin Stars of Kira, a 1993 supplement to West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.[3] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Lazerian system, and therefore the Rokwahl Asteroid Belt, in grid square N-15.[1]
