Asteroid Field

Asteroids which lie within interstellar space, rather than orbiting a star within the system. Brull‘s direct course from Gamma Hromi II to Chorgan‘s base planet was along a heading of 343-mark-72, but Wesley Crusher tactfully suggested an alternate route to miss an asteroid field along that line.^[1] In the Delta Quadrant, one field surveyed a month prior to stardate 49373 yielded a form of dilithium more stable at much higher high warp frequencies than the norm, allowing Lt. Paris to break the Warp 10 barrier.^[2]
