I suppose then that there won't be any giant worms hiding in the craters that eat spaceships, either. 🙄

Actually, come to think of it, there are proto star systems nearby that are basically a ring of debris. hmm...

I see Marcel beat me to it 🙂

Of course planetary rings in their stable form do not generally pass for a debris field, however when those rings were formed, they did.

Rings are created by bodies entering into the Roche limit of a large world, when this happens tidal forces will rip the smaller body apart, which could well create a substantial debris field for several million years, although Im not so sure of the time frames here.

Its similar to how many people believe you only have red and blue giants, however the truth is you get all spectral classes of stars in giant form, as stars are able to transition from one state to another, now from the universe's perspective, like the creation of rings, this only takes a wink of an eye... But from our perspective, civilisations rise and fall in the time taken for it to occur.

Rings would be a limited source of ice and water and carbon elements anyway
