The amount of energy required to operate a submarine or stealth fighter is less than a trillionth trillionth the amount needed to propel a starship. Asteroids don’t emit energy. That energy is easy to detect upon deceleration into our solar system.
And the limit of speed of light is a basic cosmological principle. Faster than light speed travel would violate all principles of our universe, it couldn’t exist in it’s present form.

In a trillion trillion times the volume. You could also have a seemingly inert asteroid that lobs out small probes as it passes through a system for fairly minimal energy signature. > And the limit of speed of light is a basic cosmological principle. Faster than light speed travel would violate all principles of our universe, it couldn’t exist in it’s present form. Both relativity and quantum physics came about because we found stuff that violated stuff we thought were principles of our universe. Even our current theory seems to permit workarounds like wormholes or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive.
