Transponder buoy
- "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
Transponder buoys were navigational aids that guided starships through hazardous areas. Fixed transponder buoys in the Rokwahl Asteroid Belt—located in the Expansion Region's Lazerian system—allowed starship traffic to pass through the asteroid belt unharmed. Tampering with these buoys was a capital offense, as stated by a warning to spacefarers that informed them of the buoys.[1]
Behind the scenes
Transponder buoys were created by John Terra and introduced in Twin Stars of Kira, a 1993 supplement to West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.[1]
