Legend

this strange void is located near the planet Attahox, and was controlled by the Five. Its presence is obvious from the ring of asteroids which surrounds it. In the center is an unusual, extra-dimensional portal. Shaped like a triangle, this portal twists open when starships approach it. Once the ships are drawn in, the triangle twists closed. The Five captured starships within the Hellhoop and took great pleasure torturing the crews and passengers. The sadistic desires of the Five became their destruction when they captured Han Solo, Leia Organa, and Chewbacca some years after the Battle of Hoth. Chewbacca was imprisoned in the Menagerie, while Han and Leia were tortured. Chewbacca escaped, and liberated Wuzzek and the other Menagerie beasts. Wuzzek went on a rampage, killing all of the Five but Chokla. Wuzzek then destroyed the Hellhoop itself, allowing the Alliance agents a chance to ecape before he did so.
