story identification - Science fiction series, asteroid-like space ship looked like a flying superhero

You're thinking of Jason of Star Command, a low-budget, live-action Saturday morning television program produced between 1978 and 1981. Jason was itself a spin-off of an earlier program named Space Academy, and reused some of the sets, props, and spaceship models.



Jason and the good guys operated from Space Academy, a mobile base built into an asteroid:

The head bad guy was named Dragos. He had a ship called the "Dragonship", which was also built into an asteroid:

Youtube has the first episode of the series. The Dragonship makes an appearance around the 8:36 mark.
