"We suspect remnants of an asteroid mining operation in the Udine system revolted and formed a pirate band. As they were aware of the hyperlane shortcut through nearby Keller's Void, they began towing immense asteroids to block starships and force them out of hyperspace."
Blissa Vlix[3]

The Udine system was an uninhabited star system located in the vicinity of Keller's Void,[4] within the Inner Rim.[1] This system had a high concentration of asteroids,[4] which formed the Udine asteroid field.[3]

Pirates were known to occasionally transport these asteroids to Keller's Void in order to drag ships from hyperspace, utilizing their mass shadows.[5]
