532 Herculina

532 Herculina is a large asteroid located within the Solar System's asteroid belt. Measuring at approximately 200 km (124.3 mi) in diameter, it is one of the larger asteroids within the belt. While the true origin of its name is not known, it is theorized to be named after Hercules, the Roman variant of the Greek hero.
== Relevant history ==
=== Prometheus Labs ===
During Project Abyss, conducted by Prometheus Labs, a Schwarzschild black hole was created at the research facility inside 532 Herculina. As part of a grant request to construct an interstellar science vessel for Project Daedalus, the authors suggested the utilization of the aforementioned black hole instead of creating a Reissner-Nordström black hole as part of the construction of the Darius-Semiz singularity drive. This would save US$750 million in costs for the creation of the black hole.GRANT REQUEST FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN INTERSTELLAR SCIENCE VESSEL 
Ultimately, the Schwarzschild black hole would not be used, as the Herculina research facility would be evacuated and locked down during the breakup of Prometheus in 1998. Despite the efforts of the SCP Foundation and United Nations Global Occult Coalition, they have been unable to disable the automated defense systems even with the assistance of former Prometheus employees.Entry Page: 6523
=== Recovery of the Daedalus ===
At some point, the Foundation and the GOC managed to retrieve and commandeer the unfinished husk of the Daedalus from the orbit of Herculina, though were unable to acquire the machinery used to create the Schwarzschild black hole inside the asteroid.
