Development would be too slow in the frigid vacuum for much in the way of intelligence to form, but if the thing survived for enough eons it would eventually exceed the belt's capacity and become more than the lichenous rocks it started as. I wonder what the odds would be of such a thing forming an organic Dyson sphere... | |

I'm going with, it was an incredibly hardy lichen-like thing that started out on a terrestrial planet and got blasted into space by a meteor impact. | |
