An asteroid is a celestial body smaller than a planetoid, usually having a diameter of 100 kilometers or less. An asteroid belt is comprised of many asteroids.
Following the Earth-Romulan War, Earth constructed several outposts on asteroids to monitor the Romulan Neutral Zone. (TOS: "Balance of Terror")
In the 22nd century, Cold Station 12 was located on an asteroid. (ENT: "Borderland"; ENT: "Cold Station 12"; ENT: "The Augments"). This facility still remained on an asteroid in the 24th century.
