Cularin asteroid belt

The Cularin asteroid belt was a thin asteroid belt in the Cularin system. Its asteroids were the remnants of Oblis, the jungle homeworld of the Oblee. The asteroid belt laid between the orbits of Almas and Genarius. One of the stranger asteroids in the belt was known as the Crystal Snare, a remnant of the large crystal deposits in Oblis.

The Cularin asteroid belt was used as a hiding place by smugglers working for Nirama. Nirama's criminal organization itself was based on the largest asteroid, over 400 kilometers in diameter. He also controlled other asteroids, including repair station Darkside, which received its name for being always in the shadow of other, bigger asteroids.

It was also used as a hiding place and ambush point for groups of pirates, in the other part of the belt. Ships had to leave hyperspace to pass further in-system, which made it an ideal place for the pirates to prey.
