Asteroids vs. Planetoids!

Asteroid and Planetoid Belts: The terms asteroid and planetoid are effectively synonymous; they mean small or minor planets. Each term refers to a belt of many similar small planets in orbit around the central star.

• For the purposes of differentiation, the term asteroid refers to such a belt when it is the main world of a system. The term planetoid belt refers to such a group of minor planets when another belt or world is the main world in a system.
• Asteroid and planetoid belts typically hold between 1,000 and 10,000 asteroids or planetoids each.

Selected Planetoid Vessel Examples

1. Caccil class Merchant
2. Inquiry class Lab Ship
3. Rock class Asteroid Yacht
4. Siderion class Asteroid Ship
5. Starbelt class Fleet Tender
