- "We got trapped in an asteroid belt tangling with a Squall Spider and… well, it's a long story! One day I'll tell you!"
- ―Ram Jomaram, to Qort
Ram Jomaram (left) and Kildo (right) were at one point trapped in the asteroid belt.
An asteroid belt was located in the galaxy.[1] At one point in 228 BBY,[2] the human Jedi[1] Padawan Ram Jomaram[3] and[1] the Alcedian Jedi youngling[3] Kildo became trapped in the asteroid belt, where they encountered a Squall Spider[1] cruiser of the Nihil marauder organization.[4]
The two Jedi ultimately escaped and made their way to[1] the Outer Rim planet[4] Eriadu, where the Galactic Republic and Jedi Order were battling the Nihil. After saving[1] the Jedi Knight Qort[5] and[1] Jedi youngling Zint,[5] Jomaram began telling Qort about the incident in the asteroid belt, though as it was a long story,[1] he[3] noted he would need to tell the Jedi Knight about it at a later point.[1]
