SFS Standard Tergaiator Creature 10

Amid space's asteroid belts and atop their rocky exteriors rest the homes of these massive, competition-loving elementals. Tergaiators augment their bodies with pieces of asteroid as they wrestle and jump around. They thrive off the nutrients within asteroids and fight to protect their homes from being excessively farmed by greedy mining ventures.

Elemental

Elementals are energetic intrusions from the primal planes of existence. They take many forms, from mindless eddies in the wind or water to complex entities capable of wielding primal magic. The advent of space travel and the progress of technology have allowed even more living embodiments of the elements to manifest in the Universe.

Natural events like wildfires, solar storms, and floods can unleash hordes of unruly elementals on a planet or into a region of space. Sometimes, a gathering of powerful elementals causes a natural disaster on an epic scale, like an off-the-charts solar flare that fries a planet's power grid or a ceaseless storm swirling in a gas giant's atmosphere.

Shooting Star, or Falling Elemental?

Tergaiators occasionally miss a jump and fall out of their asteroid belt. Sometimes, they simply float until they collide with a ship. Other times, they get caught in a planet's gravitational pull and go hurtling down through the atmosphere until they crash into a fiery crater. Countless craters on planets and moons were created by tergaiators crash-landing off target. Most Diasporan crèche worlds have sophisticated alarm systems in place to warn residents of incoming tergaiators, who unfortunately sometimes fall off the mark in groups, forming destructive showers like their meteor cousins.
