Meteoroid

A meteoroid was an astronomical object. 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.
