You don't need to pick an already-named rock for Babylon .5 - there are hundreds if not thousands of unnamed rocks out there, and likely tens of thousands of smaller undiscovered rocks as well. Prometheus Forge is another unnamed space rock, after all.
As for the DeStub Project... I've updated the Rockhounds page and the 498 Tokio page. Here's how the latter currently reads.

'''498 Tokio''', also called "Village Hidden in Asteroids" or simply "Hidden Asteroid", is a [[Main Belt] asteroid that was discovered by Shin Hirayama on March 6, 1900. It is named after the city of Tokyo.
Also known as the '''Village of Hidden Asteroid''' or ''Seijutaigakure no Sato'' (after its largest city), Tokio is home to the [[Village Hidden in Asteroids] factionBetter-known as the '''Ninjas''' and the headquarters of the [[Ninjaburger] fast-food franchise.
498 Tokio in in the process of being converted into a Vivarium-style station: there are no large windows in the surface, and any open internal spaces are dependent on artificial lighting. In accordance to the wishes of the faction, [[Rockhounds] kept the pilot tunnels they bored into the asteroid small and well hidden in 498 Tokio's surface features. Combined with the extensive use of artificial gravity to avoid the need to spin the rock, 498 Tokio appears largely unchanged from its pre-colonization days.
Much of the interior of 498 Tokio is hollow. While the [[Ninja] are not a small faction, Hidden Asteroid proper does not take up more than a tithe of the available volume. The rest of the interior of 498 Tokio is given over to pseudo-wilderness and agricultureOr will be once things get growing - or at least that's what visitors are told.The actual secretiveness of Ninja is somewhat exaggerated. But, if you're going to tell a joke, you may as well take it too far.
The [[Fenspace Travel Guide] has given a two stars to '''The Dancing Shinobi''', a Japanese-style bar in Seijutaigakure no Sato.

Any more contributions?
Edit: Yes, I see the grammar error in the final paragraph. (At least, now I do.) I'll fix it in the next update.
