- "If we attack from above, they will have the advantage. So we will go through the rocks."
- ―Grievous, at the start of the Battle of Bothawui
The Fervse'dra asteroid belt[6] was located within Bothan Space of the regions known as the Mid Rim Territories[1] and the Slice.[2] Located around the planet Bothawui, the asteroid belt was situated in grid square R-14 on the Standard Galactic Grid[4] and retained several passable zones, such as zones six, five, four, and three.[5]
In 22 BBY,[7] during the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and Separatist Alliance, the asteroid belt served as the site of an engagement a Republic task force led by Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and a Separatist fleet commanded by Kaleesh Separatist General Grievous. Following the battle, which led to Grievous's defeat, the remains of his fleet were left floating adrift throughout the asteroid belt, which was later scavenged by Trandoshan scavenger, Gha Nachkt.[5]
