Kuiper Belt is the 25th Celestial Body and the 4th Asteroid obtained in the Beyond (Rank 11), which can generate Stardust Stardust.

Description

"Out beyond Neptune, the Kuiper Belt is a disk made of gas, dust, asteroids, and other small objects, called planetesimals, floating in space—like the Asteroid Belt, but nearly 20 times larger. It is home to most dwarf planets in the solar system."

Traits

The rare traits matching this generators type are: Asteroids . Kuiper Belt is also affected by the epic traits: Speed of Light , Cosmic Gravity , Goldilocks Zone . It is also affected by the constellations: Scorpio,Capricorn, as well as by the generator rank.

	Neptunian Disruption	Neptune’s presence on the inner edge of the Kuiper Belt destabilizes other objects in the sector. The tug of its gravity can throw them into the inner solar system or out into interstellar space.	Rank 11
	Kuiper Cliff	On the outer edge of the Kuiper Belt, the density of large objects suddenly drops dramatically. Scientists theorize this may be because of the gravity of an as-of-yet undiscovered planet, around the size of Earth or Mars.	Rank 12

	Name's the Same	Though the Kuiper Belt is named for the astronomer Gerard Kuiper, he did not discover or predict its existence. But he was one of the pre-eminent astronomers of his day, and an important figure in the birth of modern planetary science.	Kuiper Belt Rank 5
	Not-So Compact Disks	Astronomers have observed Kuiper Belt–like disks surrounding nine other stars. The presence of other disks of debris in space gives credence to the theory that they form from the same process that creates stars and planets.	Kuiper Belt Rank 8
