Native Lifeforms[edit]
It is believed that stormriders were native to Duuga, which became Holtan Rock. The history of their appearance on other desert worlds in the Zarushagar Sector during the First Imperium seems to bear this out. By the time of the Third Imperium, they are known to exist on desert worlds all the way from the Spinward Marches to the Solomani Rim.
Stormriders got their name from their common dormancy habitat -- riding like sand particles in a windstorm. Since dormant stormriders resemble grains of sand, it is difficult to keep them from being slowly spread from world to world by interstellar travellers. In the presence of moisture, a stormrider "grain" leaves its dormant state and secretes a sticky, superglue-like substance that attaches it securely to a possible source of water and nutrients.
