Template:PlanetaryBody-Minor Haides IV is the name given to one of three major asteroid fields in the remnants of the Orthwell system. Like most space debris of any significant size within the Rim Worlds region, the asteroid fields of Orthwell are part of the greater Orelon Belt which is all that remains of the star Orelon, the planets Relephon and Thrakia along with their many moons which were destroyed in 3189.
Originally named XY322101, the field was given its current name in 4014. An Accalamator Assault Ship part of the Galactic Republic naval forces was running from the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the ongoing Clone Wars, and attempted to take a shortcut to the Core worlds through the Transitory Mists. Badly damaged and with systems sporadically failing, the vessel was ill prepared to face a local Hapan fleet on patrol. Engaging the trespassing vessel, three Nova Battle Cruisers attacked swiftly and brutally, rendering it helpless. Disabled, Haides IV began to drift towards the center of the Orthwell debris field and eventually was lodged in a cavern on one of the larger asteroids. Over the decades, as a result of asteroids colliding, the wreckage has been torn apart and is now scattered across approximately 13,000 meters of the asteroid field.
Scan of the debris has shown that some pieces of the hull still contain pockets of air and in some cases, electronic systems are still operating, powered by smaller auxiliary generators miraculously intact, or by the powerful electric storms of the Irrea Mist. On occasion, surges in power through the former bridge tower of the vessel will trigger the distress signal which the ship sent out in 4014. Out of respect for Orthwell's status as a graveyard system, the wreckage has not been salvaged or explored.
