b612

B612, a quaint little asteroid that is renowned, not for its bustling nightlife or its stunningly exotic beaches (it has neither), but rather for the charming novel it inspired. This tiny speck in the cosmos is best known as the home of an equally tiny prince, who is not at all versed in the Galactica Standard Ways of Ruling and mainly focuses on tending to space-baobabs and conversing with a rather philosophical fox. It's the sort of place you'd consider for a week-long meditation retreat if you didn't mind the vacuum of space and a severe lack of oxygen.

Travel Advice

Ideal for introverts seeking solace or writers grappling with writer's block – provided they have a space suit handy. It should be noted, however, that the asteroid's minuscule gravity does make traditional 'walking' more of a 'space-ballet', and drinking tea particularly complicated.

Where to Find

B612 is typically found playing hide and seek in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It's advised to ask nicely for directions from a passing comet, as they tend to keep track of these nomadic rocks.

What to Avoid

Do avoid stepping on the roses – they are known to be rather sensitive and may hold a grudge. Also, beware of potential existential crises brought on by talking to the local flora and fauna.

Fun Fact

The asteroid's national sport is 'stone skipping', which involves skipping small meteorites off the asteroid's surface into space. The current record is held by a chap who managed to skip a rock into another galaxy, prompting an interstellar incident and a strongly worded letter from the Andromedan council.
