- ―Han Solo
An asteroid was a solid object orbiting a star that was smaller than a planet. Asteroids could be found in asteroid fields,[1] as well as around planets; Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jango Fett had a dogfight in an asteroid field above Geonosis.[2] During the Galactic Civil War, Han Solo escaped from the Death Squadron by flying into the Hoth asteroid belt.[1]
Asteroids could house facilities such as the Polis Massa medical facility.[3] Space slugs were known to inhabit them.[1]
By the time of the Battle of Hoth, there were no official records of exploration of the center of asteroids.[4]
