Cron Drift

The Cron Drift was a dense asteroid field in the Outer Rim Territories' Auril sector, near the Perlemian Trade Route, the Salin Corridor and the Tion Cluster, that contained the rubble of dozens star systems. It was estimated to have occurred thousands of years before the Imperial Era. Once a nebula where stars were born, the region became a dangerous hyperspace hazard filled with gravitational anomalies, asteroids, and black hole.
==History==
At some point, the Imperial Navy restricted the traffic to the Cron Drift. The pirate Hondo Ohnaka once planned shaak-breeding scam in the Drift. Smugglers Han Solo and Chewbacca were once involved in a scam with the criminal Big Bunji running counterfeit Authority cash vouchers to the poor people on the far side of the Drift.Star Wars: Smuggler's Guide
