 ===== Cometary Class =====
-Bodies with an ice content in excess of 50%, and which can be in orbits which carry them relatively close to their sun, causing volatile depletion and outgassing.

Those that remain in stable orbits far from the star are considered //passive//, whilst those whose orbits taken them into the inner system are //active//.

   * [[Damocloid]] - Cometary bodies that have lost all of their volatiles, and in appearance look quite similar to asteroids.  These bodies are typically quite ancient, although some are of average age, but have been trapped within very short period orbits for most of their active lifetimes.
