Horus Belt Beta

The Horus belt beta is the second asteroid belt from the sun of the [Horus system](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/bo1JGZpvwZ-horus-system), [United Empire of Earth (UEE)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VyvyKxy4v6-united-empire-of-earth). In contrast to its [neighboring belt](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/R5plEOr6g3-horus-belt-alpha), it sees little commercial traffic aside from passing trade ships despite being located closer to the system's only inhabited planet [Serling (Horus I)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/Vy28DwK2a8-serling-horus-). [Marie Sante](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RX36PWwe4K-marie-sante), who discovered the Horus system, kept a personal base on the largest asteroid in the Horus belt beta that she utilized when exploring the system's outer reaches. Left abandoned after her 2545 disappearance, the base was re-discovered in 2977 and was declared a cultural heritage site.
