Asteroid Thicket	comment	In science fiction movies and TV, asteroids form a vast, hyperkinetic, obstacle-strewn Death Course: Enormous rocks spin like tops and whiz around all over the place, frequently even smashing into each other. Trying to navigate one is like asking a chicken to cross a busy Los Angeles freeway during rush hour: Small nimble spacecraft flown by skillful Ace Pilots (i.e, the protagonists) may be able to slalom through without getting reduced to space dust, but any pursuing enemy fighter ships will get picked off one-by-one by giant, malevolent space boulders. Any capital ship that can't just blast a path through them with its Wave-Motion Gun will have to rely on its Deflector Shields to bounce the rocks off. This makes it a good option to escape the guns of a pursuing capital ship. It's unfortunate that Real Life asteroid fields, while they do exist, don't have such a flair for the dramatic. Real-life asteroids are strewn much farther apart from each other; so far that the chance of even seeing one (let alone crashing into one) is pretty much nil. This is because a truly violent asteroid thicket as seen in fiction would simply dash itself to bits in a short period of time in real life. Also, due to gravity, even dust will be attracted to itself; larger rocks this close together would gravitate towards each other even faster, and the whole asteroid field would eventually gather into a few fairly solid clusters â€” in fact, this is fairly close to the going theory of how planets form from clouds of dust and rocks. Scientists have sent space probes through our solar system's main asteroid belt for decades, including one â€” Dawn â€” that has studied bodies within it â€” and haven't lost a single one in the process. While obviously no first-hand data is available about asteroid fields in other star systems, everything we know about physics tells us that they'd probably differ little from the ones in our own solar system and would be nothing like typical sci-fi depictions. Conversely, planetary rings are (relatively) much more sparse in fiction than they are in real life. Voyager 2 flew through Saturn's G ring â€” one of the fainter rings â€” once, at an angle, and there was "lots of evidence of micrometeroid hits" on the quite small 4-meter diameter probe, and the Cassini spacecraft used its antenna as a shield when crossing the same ring or the space between the rings and the planet during its mission at Saturn. The thickness of the rings is also surprisingly variable, ranging from under 10 meters to over a kilometer. However, aspiring SF writers should know that these planetary ring systems are mostly made up of ice (99% of the rings' content) and rocks 0.01 to 10 meters across. A Sub-Trope of Artistic License â€“ Space and Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale. Compare Space Clouds, a trope about the similarly unrealistic portrayal of nebulae in fiction; Conveniently Close Planet for if an Asteroid Thicket could be considered "frustratingly close asteroids"; and Dangerous Orbital Debris, for cases where swarms of artificial wreckage make it hazardous or impossible to leave a planet. A spaceborne equivalent to an Aerial Canyon Chase will take place in one. If there are Asteroid Miners here, they're going to have hazardous lives. May be justified if the asteroids are actually a Shattered World left over from a recent Earth-Shattering Kaboom.

Asteroid Thicket / int_1469522d	comment	Sunless Skies: Asteroids tend to come in dense swarms and clusters, with vast gulfs of empty space separating each thicket but only narrow gaps standing between individual asteroids in each swarm. In general, most asteroids tend to be close enough to one another that the gaps between them are easily crossed by bridges or hanging vines. The Ormswold, in which the Royal Society is built, particularly stands out: flying through it is very perilous as the gaps between asteroids are very narrow and it covers a fifth of the Albion outer ring.

Asteroid Thicket / int_17bfcf60	comment	Homeworld: One mission puts you right in the center of a swarm of malicious asteroids, your objective being to get your smaller ships out of harm's way while blasting apart asteroids that are about to collide with the Mothership. There's a margin for error in that the Mothership can handle a few hits, but it's still not quite as easy as it sounds. In another mission, a large asteroid is deliberately steered into the path of the mothership (via a huge engine built into the asteroid's "back"), as it cannot change direction when in hyperspace, and will automatically exit hyperspace when a potential collision is detected.

Second, also due to their thickness, several asteroid fields are also suitable for mining operations. Third, some of these asteroid fields are actually made of junk (one of them is even a minefield!). And finally, the spacecraft manufacturers must be very aware of the difficulty of navigating these places by hand, because in order to get across an asteroid field, you just have to set a waypoint to your target, press the Go To button, and the computer will do the slaloming for you.

Asteroid Thicket / int_64ddf294	comment	EVE Online suffers from this trope in that of the 5000+ solar systems, a large majority of them have at least one "Asteroid Belt" orbiting a planet, and some have upwards of 20 or 30. This alone isn't enough... the asteroid belts themselves are composed of a belt maybe 100km from end to end with asteroids of various mineral types densely packed together; in some cases the asteroids are so large and so dense that avoiding their collision boxes is an exercise in futility. This is mostly due to decade-old design decisions. The asteroids are used for mining by players, and going from one rock to the other in a realistically sparse asteroid field in clumsy mining vessels would be very annoying to say the least. Various modifications and reforms to asteroid belt realism and the interactivity/fun of mining in general have been floated by CCP over the past few years, but so far they appear to be on the back burner. Finding a fix that doesn't destroy the economy is bound to be problematic.

Asteroid Thicket / int_755b343f	comment	Halo: The Expanded Universe is actually quite good at treating asteroid belts realistically: Halo: The Cole Protocol: A straight example is actually justified. The Rubble is explicitly said to be very unusual, the asteroids having been artificially tethered together, with the whole thing being kept stable by constant AI-controlled adjustments. Additionally, the asteroids are Trojan asteroids orbiting a gas giant, and each individual asteroid is relatively small. Then-Lieutenant Jacob Keyes even lampshades this, noting that this trope is what civilians, or "dirt siders", think of when they think of asteroid belts; when he first sees the Rubble, he initially can't accept that it's real, because it isn't what happens in nature, with him explicitly noting that asteroids can be millions of miles apart from each other. Halo: Mortal Dictata: The kig-yar home system, Y'Deio, is home to a massive asteroid belt that is stated to be abnormally dense (though not to the extent of most examples of this trope, as it's noted that it still takes a good amount of time to travel between asteroids even with Kig-Yar and Covenant starships). In Real Life, the Y'Deio system is actually a real system (with a different name of course), and its asteroid belt is notable for being unusually massive and dense, further justifying this example. The Eridanus asteroid belt, depicted in Halo: The Fall of Reach and Halo: First Strike, is also another aversion, although The Fall of Reach's comic adaptation strangely depicts the smaller asteroids around Eridanus Secundus (an asteroid within the belt that is colonized by the United Rebel Front) being unrealistically close to each other.

Perhaps unusually, asteroid hits are easily blocked by even a minimal shield, and their main game effect is thus to create small gaps in which the shields are weaker than normal. This normally acts to the player's advantage; a common tactic is to send a flurry of laser fire in just behind the asteroid, whereas the game's AI is incapable of doing this intentionally.

While a ship is in the Shionthy asteroid belt, there is a 1 in 36 chance per hour that it will contact a speck of antimatter. The resulting explosion will severely damage the ship. Beltstrike boxed set. The asteroid Jarlsson's Doom is closely surrounded by a swarm of smaller asteroids. If the Player Characters aren't extremely careful flying through it, they have a base 86% chance of colliding with an asteroid. This will cause the ship to be either damaged or (if it takes a critical hit) destroyed.

Which makes far more sense because, as a minefield, it's supposed to kill whoever enters it, and the mines were more or less stationary until a ship got close enough to set off magnetic sensors, and close enough together that the ship had trouble staying away from them. Except for the part about someone deliberately putting a minefield in empty space with the apparent hope that someone will eventually blunder into it.

The Rubble is explicitly said to be very unusual, the asteroids having been artificially tethered together, with the whole thing being kept stable by constant AI-controlled adjustments. Additionally, the asteroids are Trojan asteroids orbiting a gas giant, and each individual asteroid is relatively small. Then-Lieutenant Jacob Keyes even lampshades this, noting that this trope is what civilians, or "dirt siders", think of when they think of asteroid belts; when he first sees the Rubble, he initially can't accept that it's real, because it isn't what happens in nature, with him explicitly noting that asteroids can be millions of miles apart from each other.

Asteroid Thicket / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek: Star Trek: The Original Series: "Mudd's Women" shows the Enterprise chasing Harry Mudd's stolen ship through an asteroid belt (at relativistic speeds) where the asteroids are seen to zip past the Enterprise (as seen by the bridge screen that Kirk is looking at). The asteroids appeared to be spaced apart from each other at considerable distance rather than the traditional Star Wars-type asteroid thicket. Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Genesis", the Enterprise sends a shuttle craft into an asteroid field because it was too dense for the Enterprise to go in safely. It was mentioned that the asteroid field was unusually dense though. This was by far the least significant scientific inaccuracy in this episode, where the crew 'de-evolved'. In "The Pegasus", the Enterprise is searching for the starship Pegasus, lost years ago on a top secret mission. The search leads into a dense asteroid belt, where the Enterprise finds the Pegasus partly inside one asteroid. It turns out the Pegasus was testing an advanced "phasing" cloaking device that would let it pass through solid objects, and the device failed when the ship was passing through the asteroid. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: In a 7th season episode, Odo tries to hide from some Jem'Hadar by flying into a dense Kuiper Belt, which aside from trading comets for asteroids, is still a classic Asteroid Thicket.

Asteroid Thicket / int_b2fba3e0	comment	Ultra Series In the Ultraman Mebius spin-off, Ultraman Mebius Gaiden, the first episode "Hikari Saga" has Ultraman Hikari pursuing the space monster, Bemstar, across an asteroid field. Hikari managed to land a kick on Bemstar's head causing the monster to crash in one of the asteroids, but this only allows Bemstar to use the asteroid field's advantage to sneak up behind Hikari, with the battle culminating with both Ultra and kaiju crashing on a moon-sized asteroid. The pilot of Ultraman Taiga is a Batman Cold Open where the New Generation Heroes consisting of Ultraman Ginga, Ultraman Victory, Ultraman X, Ultraman Orb, Ultraman Geed, Ultraman Rosso and Ultraman Blu pursues the villainous Ultra, Tregear, through space, culminating near an asteroid field where the heroes managed to force Tregear into crashing on the largest asteroid. Unfortunately for them, that's precisely what Tregear wants, having rigged the asteroid with dozens and dozens of mines, ready to blow the heroes into smithereens.

Fleeing a New Republic task force, the ship attempts to blow up some massive asteroids to evade pursuit, only for the superlaser to not work, and gets crushed in short order. Galaxy of Fear: There's an asteroid belt near Ithor thick enough that tiny ships called Starflies are designed to travel through it. It also has space slugs. When flying a Starfly to rescue her brother, Tash has to rely on the Force and the Improbable Piloting Skills it gives her to get through. A pair of asteroids actually slam into each other in front of her, becoming a hail of smaller particles. Hand of Thrawn: In Vision of the Future, when the Wild Karrde goes through an asteroid field, Karrde notes that it's more dense than most his crew has encountered, as they have to shoot down asteroids more or less constantly. Zahn, as a general rule, knows quite well how space works and writes accordingly. But Asteroid Thickets are the one thing that showed up in Star Wars and could not be explained or handwaved, so he uses them like anyone else. Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor features Luke and his task force making plans to attack Mindor. This planet had a sister planet very near it not at all long ago, but during a superweapon testing the sister planet was destroyed, and the debris was largely pulled around Mindor in a configuration that was too unstable to be called an orbit. This resulted in the planet becoming largely uninhabitable and the space around it acquiring an "asteroid storm"; capital ships appearing in it had a one-in-fifty chance of being hit by a big rock immediately, increasing incrementally as time went on. X-Wing Series: Asteroid thickets come up once, as the X-wings try to get through asteroids to an enemy ship. The enemy actually had a strategy for this situation, which was to shoot the bigger asteroids, which would destroy the fighters which are hiding behind them on their way to the big ship. Even though a pilot realized this before it happened and called them off, two were taken out on the retreat by, yes, unavoidable giant space rocks. Several books mention â€œThe Graveyardâ€�, the asteroid field created when Alderaan was destroyed by the Death Star. The Graveyard is such a dense field of asteroids that going into it is considered certain death for any starship, even one as large as a Star Destroyer. Some Alderaanian survivors request space burial or cremation there, while others come to leave messages to lost loved ones.

It's a bit more plausible than most examples, as it's relatively young by astronomical standards and it's in a much tighter orbit around its centre of mass than a conventional asteroid belt. Still, while the rocks don't come whizzing out at passing spaceships, there are chunks big enough for Humongous Mecha to hide behind, when collisions due to mutual attraction should have reduced them to gravel years ago and they're dense enough to make navigation somewhat difficult, though not to the point of Wronski Feint-ing.

Asteroid Thicket / int_f6cd341d	comment	Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon features unrealistically dense asteroid belts on some maps as hazards, some of these asteroids are slow moving, but others can move quickly. Asteroids will break apart into smaller asteroids if they take enough damage.

Asteroid Thicket / int_f74c40	comment	Halo: Mortal Dictata: The kig-yar home system, Y'Deio, is home to a massive asteroid belt that is stated to be abnormally dense (though not to the extent of most examples of this trope, as it's noted that it still takes a good amount of time to travel between asteroids even with Kig-Yar and Covenant starships). In Real Life, the Y'Deio system is actually a real system (with a different name of course), and its asteroid belt is notable for being unusually massive and dense, further justifying this example.

Asteroid Thicket / int_f8ac88ad	comment	Contact: The introductory zoom-scene shows the solar system's own asteroid belt as one of these. The scene is otherwise fairly accurate on scales, however (except for the distance of radio transmissions). The team that created the opening said they did it on purpose partly for Rule of Cool and partly because most people would think a fully accurate portrayal of the entire sequence would look "wrong."

Asteroid Thicket / int_fcf43f47	comment	A few Fighting Fantasy adventures set in outer space will have these as an obstacle. In Starship Traveller, you can order the crew of the "Traveller" to mine an asteroid field for resources, but a freak meteor storm might occur, resulting in some casualties in the process where your engineer gets squashed by stray asteroids. The Rings of Kether have Blaster Babbett's space HQ being located in an asteroid field, which you must navigate your way across if you're choosing an outer space confrontation.

Asteroid Thicket / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Genesis", the Enterprise sends a shuttle craft into an asteroid field because it was too dense for the Enterprise to go in safely. It was mentioned that the asteroid field was unusually dense though. This was by far the least significant scientific inaccuracy in this episode, where the crew 'de-evolved'. In "The Pegasus", the Enterprise is searching for the starship Pegasus, lost years ago on a top secret mission. The search leads into a dense asteroid belt, where the Enterprise finds the Pegasus partly inside one asteroid. It turns out the Pegasus was testing an advanced "phasing" cloaking device that would let it pass through solid objects, and the device failed when the ship was passing through the asteroid.
