The Belasco system was a star system located in the Belasco sector of the Expansion Region[4] and the Slice.[2] It lay in grid square O-11 on the Standard Galactic Grid and was connected via[4] the Ootmian Pabol[3] hyperspace route to the planet[5] Gyndine and the Mid Rim Territories astronomical object New Apsolon.[4]

This assumes that the name "Ootmian Pabol," as used in Star Wars: Smuggler's Guide, applies to the canon hyperspace route depicted on the map that matches the depiction of the Star Wars Legends route with the same name in The Essential Atlas per BlueskyLogo Jason Fry (@jasoncfry.bsky.social.) on Bluesky (post on January 3, 2025): "They are indeed the same. Same galaxy, same map. In the rare event something needs to be changed, it will be discussed. (In response to: Hi @jasoncfry.bsky.social, was hoping you could confirm for Wookieepedia purposes that the hyperspace routes depicted on the Galaxy Map given out at Celebration are intended to be the same routes as in Legends. Sorry to bother, but would make our lives much easier to have it confirmed!)" (screenshot).
