Epsom Asteroid Belt
The Epsom Asteroid Belt[3] was located in the Epsom system, a part of the Quiberon sector[1] in the Slice portion of[2] the Outer Rim Territories.[1] During the Galactic Civil War, the Saurian crime lord Sithless Leethe owned a summer residence in the asteroid belt.[3]
At one point, a group of individuals on the[3] Arkanis sector[4] planet Tatooine purchased the YT-1300 light freighter Limping Lady from Leethe. The Saurian accepted a fraction of the total asking price—25,000 credits—as a down payment while the difference was to be paid in full, either on Tatooine or at Leethe's summer residence in the Epsom Asteroid Belt, within one year of the sale.[3]
Behind the scenes
The Epsom Asteroid Belt was mentioned in "Limping Lady," a roleplaying adventure written by Peter M. Schweighofer for use with West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game and published in Challenge 64 in September 1992. This article assumes the scenario plays out as described.[3] The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Epsom system, and therefore the Epsom Asteroid Belt, in grid square S-15.[2]
