For other uses, see Roche (disambiguation).

The Roche asteroid field, sometimes known simply as Roche, was a series of asteroids colonized by the Verpine, including Nickel One (the capital), Slayn, Korpil, Roche G42, and Shantipole.

Description

The Out Runner flying through the Roche asteroid belt.

Some believed that the Roche asteroids were the remains of the Verpine homeworld, possibly destroyed by civil war. The Verpine simply claimed that they did not know where their homeworld was located.The Verpine were lead by a technocratic government.[3] This government led all the Verpine worlds as a cohesive whole, though there were disparate Hive-minded governments of each planet or system.

History

Roche asteroids joined the Galactic Republic early in its history, sometime between 25,000 BBY and 22,000 BBY.[2]

When the Wookiees joined the galactic community, they traded with the Verpine for manufacturing processes.[source?]

The asteroids were the headquarters of Roche Industries and Slayn & Korpil.[source?]

A Roche asteroid, site of the Shantipole Project.

After the Battle of Yavin, the asteroids were the site of the Shantipole Project, in which Slayn & Korpil worked with Ackbar to develop the B-wing starfighter. When the Galactic Empire became aware of this, Governor Bane Nothos blockaded the system. However, the Rebels broke the blockade with the B-wing prototypes and blew up Research Station Shantipole,[4] resulting in Nothos's demotion to Commander.[5]

The Verpine later joined the New Republic. In 4 ABY, a conflict broke out between the Verpine and the Barabels; the Barabels sold dead Verpine to the Kubaz as food. This dispute was eventually settled by Leia Organa Solo.
