"The Asteroid Vermipede lives in open space, in areas close to stars, with access to occassional asteroids. They're known to dig themselves into small asteroids and consume them from the inside out. After the asteroid mining revolution took place in lower orbit, the Asteroid Vermipede has become a pest quite hard to eradicate. Asteroids must be scanned in open space before moving onto mining stations, to prevent energy waste from transporting infected material."
