Are there official rules for shooting asteroids in Star Wars Miniatures?
We developed our own mechanics that can be used.
1) We took the 12 asteroid clusters from the two base sets, and sorted them by 4 large, 4 medium, 4 small.
2) We took turns placing the 4 large asteroids clusters on the field.
3) Each cluster has 0 defense a hull strength of 12.
4) A large cluster with 12 damage becomes a mid-size cluster, and each mid-size cluster with 12 damage becomes a small cluster. Small clusters with 12 damage are removed from the board. It's a bit like the principle in Atari's Asteroids, except in Asteroids, you're shooting individual asteroids that break up.
ALTERNATE RULES:
A1) Mid Size Clusters have an 8 hull strength, and Small Clusters have 4 (or 6) hull strength.
A2) Clusters contain asteroids of varying size, and skill is required; ranged weapons require an unmodified strength of 3 to attack.
A3) Place an objective inside an asteroid. The asteroid can even have shields. The shield can even be fields that damage ships that come into contact with it.
