Kessel Run

The Kessel Run is a famous hyperspace route in the "Star Wars" universe, known for its dangerous and complex navigation. Spanning approximately 18 parsecs, it connects the planet Kessel, where valuable spice is mined, to other systems, including the Inner Rim. The route is fraught with obstacles, such as black holes and Imperial ships, making it challenging to traverse. The character Han Solo famously boasted that he completed the Kessel Run in under twelve parsecs, emphasizing his exceptional piloting skills and the route's perils, rather than its length.
