An '''Asteroid''' is a minor astronomical object one meter or larger in size. Asteroids are rocky, metallic, or icy bodies with no atmosphere, and are broadly classified into several types depending on their composition.

==C-Type==

'''C-Type''' asteroids are the most prolific, spawning in clusters composed from 1 up to 12 rocks, with the mass of each rock ranging from 112 tons up to 63,000 tons. They usually present a low resistance and low instability.

They are usually composed of [[StarCitizen:Quartz]], [[StarCitizen:Copper]], [[StarCitizen:Tungsten]] and [[StarCitizen:Iron]], among other materials. Small quantities of [[StarCitizen:Quantanium]] and [[StarCitizen:Stileron]] can be found on them <ref name="RT">[https://regolith.rocks/survey/rock_class Regolith Survey Corps: Rock Types]</ref>.

==E-Type==


'''E-Type''' asteroids usually spawn as single rocks, but can spawn in clusters composed up to 5 rocks, with the mass of each rock ranging from 1 ton up to 103,000 tons. They usually present a medium to high resistance and medium instability.

They are usually composed of [[StarCitizen:Silicon]], [[StarCitizen:Iron]], [[StarCitizen:Tungsten]] and [[StarCitizen:Corundum]], among other materials. Small quantities of [[StarCitizen:Quantanium]] and [[StarCitizen:Laranite]] can be found on them <ref name="RT">[https://regolith.rocks/survey/rock_class Regolith Survey Corps: Rock Types]</ref>.

==I-Type==

I-Type asteroids are currently only found in [[StarCitizen:Pyro]]. They usually spawn as single rocks, but can spawn in clusters composed up to 5 rocks, with the mass of each rock ranging from 1 ton up to 47,000 tons. They usually present a low resistance and medium instability.


==M-Type==

'''M-Type''' asteroids usually spawn as single rocks, but can spawn in clusters composed up to 5 rocks, with the mass of each rock ranging from 1 ton up to 106,000 tons. They usually present a high resistance and high instability.

They are usually composed of [[StarCitizen:Quartz]], [[StarCitizen:Copper]], [[StarCitizen:Silicon]] and [[StarCitizen:Titanium]], among other materials. Small quantities of [[StarCitizen:Quantanium]], [[StarCitizen:Riccite]] and [[StarCitizen:Stileron]] can be found on them <ref name="RT">[https://regolith.rocks/survey/rock_class Regolith Survey Corps: Rock Types]</ref>.

==P-Type==

'''P-Type''' asteroids usually spawn as single rocks, but can spawn in clusters composed up to 5 rocks, with the mass of each rock ranging from 1 ton up to 79,000 tons. They usually present a high resistance and high instability.

They are usually composed of [[StarCitizen:Quartz]], [[StarCitizen:Copper]], [[StarCitizen:Iron]] and [[StarCitizen:Titanium]], among other materials. Small quantities of [[StarCitizen:Quantanium]] and [[StarCitizen:Riccite]] and [[StarCitizen:Stileron]] can be found on them <ref name="RT">[https://regolith.rocks/survey/rock_class Regolith Survey Corps: Rock Types]</ref>.

==Q-Type==

'''Q-Type''' asteroids usually spawn as single rocks, but can spawn in clusters composed up to 5 rocks, with the mass of each rock ranging from 1 ton up to 89,000 tons. They usually present a low resistance and medium instability.

They are usually composed of [[StarCitizen:Quartz]], [[StarCitizen:Copper]], [[StarCitizen:Iron]] and [[StarCitizen:Titanium]], among other materials. Small quantities of [[StarCitizen:Quantanium]] and and [[StarCitizen:Stileron]] can be found on them <ref name="RT">[https://regolith.rocks/survey/rock_class Regolith Survey Corps: Rock Types]</ref>.

==S-Type==

'''S-Type''' asteroids usually spawn as single rocks, but can spawn in clusters composed up to 5 rocks, with the mass of each rock ranging from 1 ton up to 78,000 tons. They usually present a low resistance and medium instability.

They are usually composed of [[StarCitizen:Titanium]], [[StarCitizen:Quartz]], [[StarCitizen:Iron]] and [[StarCitizen:Tungsten]], among other materials. Small quantities of [[StarCitizen:Quantanium]] and and [[StarCitizen:Riccite]] can be found on them <ref name="RT">[https://regolith.rocks/survey/rock_class Regolith Survey Corps: Rock Types]</ref>.
