In the 800s a Droyne Sport, visiting Terra (Solomani Rim 1827) on a diplomatic mission, discovered Black Beetles. Delighted by their crunchiness and flavor (especially when roasted) he arranged to import some to Droyne communities in the Spinward Marches where they turned out to be very popular. His oytrip has been importing them ever since (though imports are sometimes sporadic and always in small numbers given the distances involved). They are a popular delicacy among the Droyne.
