I agree.
I believe that *since* it hasn't happened in all that time, it's pretty safe to assume that it effectively *can't* happen?
Or perhaps it's one of those things that the various Imperial
alphabet agencies keep under wraps and spin plausible stories about
what really happened?
There's at least one adventure where the PCs have to deal with a
world killer asteroid bearing down on the planet and one of the
potential twists is that it's being guided by another ship...

I just checked the only asteroid impact scenario I could think of William H Keith Jrs' "Critical Vector" from JTAS 20 and the idea of the asteroid being guided by someone else does not appear in it, one wonders how many other 'Armageddon' like scenarios there are?
P.S. I used the impact effects calculator on the 50k diameter rock from Critical Vector and allowing for the usual caveats, well, it makes quite a mess (Even if you are 2000km away)...
