"Woern's Asteroid"

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

"Woern's Asteroid" was one of the largest asteroids in the Drup Asteroid Field, a part of the Drup's Star system in the Outer Rim Territories' Saijo sector. The mineral composition of the asteroids in the Drup Asteroid Field interfered with the sensors of starships in its vicinity.

The Elomin pirate Laerron Woern made use of that property, establishing a base for his pirate gang inside the asteroid that was named after himself. Around 7 ABY, a group of individuals discovered the existence of the pirate base on "Woern's Asteroid," leading to a New Republic assault on the asteroid.
