Planetesimal Class

Planetesimal Class

Size range 51 kilometers to 1,000 kilometers. Often considered the building blocks of larger planetary bodies, these worlds can survive throughout a solar system's lifetime, mainly as larger sized asteroids. However, finding planetesimals in independant planetary orbits is just as common, and can represent "failed" planets from the formation process.
