Anasteroid was a large solid object orbiting astar that was smaller than aplanet. Asteroids could be found inasteroid fields,[1] as well as around planets.[2] Asteroids housed facilities such as thePolis Massa medical facility.[3] Asteroids could support life, especially if they had their own thinatmosphere, with rocks and minerals forming the basis of manyfood chains. Many monstrous creatures dwelt within asteroids, withmynocks andfyrnocks thriving on asteroids[4] andSpace slugs also known to inhabit them.[1]
History[]

TheMillennium Falcon flies through asteroids
Over the course of their existence, asteroids struck the eightmoons of theInner Rimgas giantplanetNavlaas. Those eight moons, including the ice moonLaanen, were thus left scarred by asteroid impacts.[5]Obi-Wan Kenobi andJango Fett had adogfight in an asteroid field aboveGeonosis.[2]
During theGalactic Civil War,Han Solo,captain of theMillennium Falcon, escaped from theDeath Squadron by flying into theHoth asteroid belt.[1] By the time of theBattle of Hoth, there were no official records of exploration of the center of asteroids.[6] When Solo and his comrades entered what they believed to be a cave within[1] the "Big One" asteroid,[7] they discovered they had actually entered anexogorth[1] namedSy-O[8] and escaped,[1] much to Sy-O's sorrow.[8]
