Asteroids

Asteroids in Mass Effect can be found in asteroid belts orbiting the various systems. To spot them, swing the cursor around along the belt, or watch carefully: they'll flash violet every few seconds.

Asteroids are sometimes used as weapons, particularly by the krogan and the turians. Dropped from orbit, they cause an impressive amount of damage with minimal effort. The turians were known for using these tactics at Shanxi. Asteroid drops on 'garden worlds' - planets like Palaven, Thessia or Earth - are strictly illegal under Tier 1 of the Citadel Conventions.
