The biggest of the Roche Asteroids, Nickle One is considered the home world of the Verpine race. Although, the actual Verpine homeworld is unknown, the Verpine have been habitants of Nickle One for over 25,000 years. Nickle One, unlike the other asteroids, is a series of hives held together with focused repulsor beams, which makes Nickle One the biggest asteroid in the galaxy.

During the second Galactic Civil War, a battle at Nickle One ensued, it was due to the Imperial Remnants seeking to capture Nickle One, so they could use the Verpine technology created by their ship faction Slayn and Korpil for their Galactic war efforts. Fortunately, with the help of Jedi and the Mandolorians, the Verpine were successful in repelling the Imperials and freeing Nickle One asteroid.
