We have asteroids, and we just got comets, but what about Kuiper Belt Objects? KBOs would make a great flyby target out past Eeoloo's orbit.

It would be cool to have reddish KBOs randomly spawned outside of Eeloo's orbit. However, even if the KBOs themselves are asteroid-like objects, you should still be able to get science from a distance, because matching its velocity after an Eeloo flyby probably is not feasible.

I’ll bite.  What is a KBO

Kuiper Belt Object, like Arrokoth. I should have clarified.

Essentially my suggestion is to have KBOs so we can recreate a New Horizons-type mission.
