The constant collisions would also soon reduce it to dust. Short of a planet blowing up relatively recently you're not going to find any place in the universe where asteroids routinely collide every minute or so. Now there's a good chance there will be the dense sort of asteroid belts you want in this game, but like the faster-than-light travel that will also likely be in the game, it'll be made up science fiction, not reality.
