Vergesso Asteroids


The Vergesso Asteroids constituted an asteroid field where the bounty hunter Dengar experienced difficulties during the Imperial Era. Their designation came from the Outer Rim asteroid known as Vergesso.

Manaroo, who was Dengar's girlfriend, got in touch with some spacers and arranged a meeting with them near Mos Entha on the planet Tatooine. She exited Dengar's JumpMaster 5000 starship, called the Punishing One, and pleaded with them for assistance in rescuing Dengar from the dangers of the Vergesso Asteroids.
