I've been wondering what inspired the TSR staff to mention prison asteroids in the cannon (not sure where at the moment but I remember thinking an asteroid was not a good idea for a prison when I read it.<br /><br />Anyhow it seems that Space 1999 had an episode where an asteroid was drifting toward the moon and it turned out to be a prison for a powerful malovent creature that had been banished to the depth of space by his own civilization and Star Trek had Rura Pente which IIRC which was suppose to be an asteroid but it seemed to have plenty of gravity<br /><br />Might be interesting to allow a scout ship discover a dead civilization (nuclear war or some other apocalypse) and one episode in the scouting of that system is the discovery of a somewhat intact station on a moon, any internal atmosphere was vented and thus no oxidation has gone on so the PCs would be able to possibly power up a computer or find hard copy of the location of "something" in the asteroid belt.<br /><br />Asteroid is a prison for a highly dangerous criminal from the dead civilization, naturally the PCs release him and things get dicey.
