- "Did you win your ship playing cards?"
"Oh, I've won a lot of things. I once won a subtropical moon in the Oseon Belt."
"Wow."
"Turned out to be a real money pit." - ―Han Solo and Lando Calrissian
A subtropical moon was a part of the Oseon Belt in the Oseon system of the Outer Rim Territories' Centrality region. At one point by 10 BBY, the gambler Lando Calrissian won ownership of the moon in a card game, although he would later claim that the acquisition eventually caused him financial trouble. That year, Calrissian also wore a cape made by a tailor on the moon.
Description
A subtropical moon was located in the Oseon Belt,[6] a part of the Oseon system[3] within the Centrality region. It constituted a part of the regions known as the Outer Rim Territories[1] and the Slice.[2] Located in grid square T-8 of the Standard Galactic Grid, the moon and the rest of its star system lay on a hyperspace route that connected it to the Junkfort Station[1] and Marleyvane systems.[7] Another route, known as the Sanity Skip, also linked the Oseon system to the Kessel system.[4]
History
Lando Calrissian (center) had a tailor on the subtropical moon custom-design a cape for him.
At some point by 10 BBY,[8] the gambler Lando Calrissian won ownership of the moon[3] in a game of cards,[6] a feat that he enjoyed.[9] That year,[8] Calrissian mentioned how he had acquired the moon during a game of sabacc with the thief Han Solo[6] in the saloon known as the Lodge on the planet Vandor. The former also claimed that the ownership of the satellite eventually caused him considerable financial strain.[5] During a sabacc game[6] at a bar in a jungle outpost on the planet Numidian Prime[9] later that same year,[8] Calrissian wore a custom-made cape designed by a tailor on the Oseon Belt moon.[5]
Behind the scenes
- "Still, I enjoyed winning it."
