A new Intergalactic Sport

Interplanetary Darts!

The rules of the game!
1) Find yourself a thoroughly useless asteroid in the local system's asteroid belt & create a series of rings & a bull's-eye on the surface.
2) Each competitor has three Solly SDs adapted to remote control stationed about a thousand or so kilometres from the asteroid.
3) Play starts by each competitor in turn accelerating one of their SDs from a standing start using the Impellor Drive for a few seconds. The drive then automatically shuts down & they have to steer it using the reaction thrusters.
4) Closest one to the bull's-eye wins!

It's bound to be a smash hit.

What a waste of perfectly good asteroids

Still, much more usefull to feed them into the breakers and send the result back as part of the varioius weapons systems to be used against the SL and Alignment.

Yes. But where's the fun in that?
