- "No one enters Borkeen, that strip of shattered space debris; no one, for no one ever returned — save me."
- ―"Sosakar," from the first chapter of "The Slug Named Grendel"
The Borkeen Belt was a group of stone and iron asteroids. It was said to be the remains of a destroyed planet, and was notorious for destroying ships that entered it.[3]
The largest space slug ever discovered (as of 22 BBY), an 80-meter specimen, was discovered in this belt. Bestselling author Rogar Farnoster, who had accompanied the University of Sanbra scientists who investigated the slug,[2] placed the namesake antagonist of his novel "The Slug Named Grendel" in this belt.[3]
