Unidentified Oseon system asteroid

A small asteroid was located in the Oseon system in the Outer Rim Territories' Centrality sector. The floating metal-rich rock was situated in an irregular cluster of asteroids and had a deep and narrow crevasse that stretched around its circumference, which was unique enough to merit the asteroid's inclusion in a catalog of the Oseon system's orbital bodies. When the light freighter Millennium Falcon was traveling through the Oseon system during the Flamewind phenomenon, an attack by the starfighter squadron of the Renatasian Confederation forced the Falcon captain, Lando Calrissian, to hide the vessel in the unusual asteroid's crevasse.

While on the asteroid, the occupants of the Falcon made repairs to the starship, using to their benefit the fact that the celestial object was shielding them from the ionizing radiation of the Flamewind. During the vessel's stay on the asteroid, one of its passengers, Waywa Fybot, also attempted to kill Calrissian by sabotaging his vacuum suit. Ultimately, Calrissian used the Falcon deflector shields to cause the asteroid to burst apart, damaging the Renatasian squadron that was still searching for the ship and allowing the vessel to resume its voyage through the Oseon system.
