I don't understand the meaning of "the few ‘enter torpedos’ the asteroid was".

I believe Starcrash called them "boarding torpedoes"...

Yes, "boarding torpedos" was the right word... already fixed it in my internal document.

OK, so a small assault vehicle, with probably one to four troops onboard, small cross-section so it is more difficult to spot with sensors or target with weapons, and some (one shot?) method of penetrating any armour or hull so the troops can be inserted into the target.  All Freudian references to be avoided, of course.

Not the way most people would want to arrive at a tourist destination...
From the point of view of defenders, sound like a really good reason to invest in a force field rather than just depending on physical defences...
