Meteoroid/Legends

A meteoroid was an astronomical object.Darksaber Osuno Whett once used a specially fitted meteoroid to travel across the region of the Oswaft to observe the species without being intrusive. When New Republic warships pursued the Darksaber superweapon through an asteroid belt, one of the Corellian corvettes was struck broadside by a large spinning meteoroid and fell behind in pursuit. The Chol Nebula consisted of mostly gases but contained some bolder-sized meteoroids and dust clouds which were dense enough to prevent sensor arrays or transmitters penetrating the area, making it especially dangerous to navigate.Beyond the Rim
==Behind the scenes==
In real life, a meteoroid is a lump of rock or iron that orbits around the sun. If it enters Earth's, or another planet's, atmosphere but burns up before it reaches the ground, the streak of light that appears in the sky called a meteor. A meteorite, on the other hand, is a meteoroid that enters the planet's atmosphere and survives the trip and hits the ground. Meteoroids range in size from tiny dust grains to about 330 feet (100 meters); space debris any bigger than this is considered an asteroid. Most meteoroids are fragments of asteroids and comets, although a few are known to come from other planets and moons.
