Looks like a starship septic facility dump, frozen in space.

I was gonna go with a broken Zentradi cruiser adrift in space (from Macross / Robotech anime) but that works too.

First in with this is a fragment associated with other objects: one of which will be Wormwood from Revelation.

Remember Mrs Fowler, the 80+ year old crazy women in the Clint Eastwood movie "Coogan's Bluff?
Lieutenant McElroy: "(Mrs. Fowler)you can't make out a rape complaint and then just take off...we've got an APB out for that guy"
Mrs. Fowler: "The streets aren't safe in this town"
McElroy: "You made another rape complaint four months ago and I sent a detective up to talk to you at the time."
Mrs. Fowler: "He tried to rape me, too"
McElroy: "Did "I" ever try to rape you?"
Mrs. Fowler: (waves her finger at him and smiles)
McElroy: "Get her outta here!"
(as the cop escorts her out of the room...)
Cop: "Lady, you need a psychiatrist"
Mrs. Fowler: "I went to one and he tried to rape me, too"
McElroy: "OUT! OUT!"

Why are there stars behind that asteroid? Our space cameras can not see stars.
