CA-2216862 is a non-Belt asteroid, millions of kilometers from any other object.
History[]
CA-2216862 is a rock about a half-kilometer across. It had wandered away from the Asteroid Belt and had been pulled by Jupiter's gravity until it had settled into a slow orbit around the sun in the empty space between Jupiter and the Belt.[1]

While the Canterbury was shipping ice from Saturn's rings back to the Belt, it came across a distress call from the Scopuli,[2] a ship that appeared to have crashed into the asteroid. After the Canterbury sent its shuttle the Knight to investigate, the Canterbury was destroyed.[3]
