This article contains information from an unlicensed Star Wars Legends source.

This article's subject originated in a source that was released outside of the Lucas Licensing process, and thus is considered non-canon by Lucasfilm.

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]

This section of the article assumes a specific path in the roleplaying adventure "Limping Lady". Alternate paths may be noted in the "Behind the scenes" section. The events in this section may or may not have been confirmed as canonical within the Star Wars Legends continuity.

At one point, a group of individuals on[3] the 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]

Assumption ends here.

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 the sixty-fourth issue of the Challenge magazine in September 1992. Since that article was released outside of the Lucas Licensing process,[3] it was considered non-canonical with respect to the Star Wars Legends continuity.[5] 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]
