What you own is a piece of paper with the words "Class D"
and "Parthenope" on it, as well as the promise not to sell pieces of
paper with the words "Class D" and "Parthenope" on them. Nothing
else. If the individual or organization you bought your paper from
WAS to sell pieces of paper with the words "Class D"
and "Parthenope" on them, I guess you would be able to sue. But
what is to stop somebody else from selling similar pieces of paper?
Nothing. Your pieces of paper no more make you the owner of
asteroids than a "My Other Car Is The Mach 5" bumper sticker makes
me Speed Racer.
