A planetoid is NOT the same as insectoid. A planetoid is a ship...I guess. Kinda a big, bloated resource producing ship.
An insectoid, on the other hand, is a xerj moon that has been "altered" to make it movable. Think of it as a movable moon.
So.... the planetoid acts like any other ship (excepting that it is sooooooo slooooooooooooow) and has mission like ACS D, Deploy, etc. , while an insectoid is a moon that you can move around.
And to think.... a planetoid is 2x the speed (or more) of a Lexx
