CA-2216862

Irregular half-kilometer rocky asteroid outside the Belt where the Scopuli was located.

CA-2216862 is an irregular, half-kilometer rocky asteroid situated outside the Belt, serving as the remote site where the derelict ship Scopuli is discovered in Leviathan Wakes. This unassuming rock plays a pivotal early role in unraveling the conspiracy surrounding the protomolecule, drawing the crew of the Rocinante into the heart of the series' escalating interstellar conflict. Though it appears only in the first book, its significance endures as the initial breadcrumb in the Belt's web of intrigue, with no further evolution or mentions in subsequent novels.
