			== Physiology ==
			Adult stormwals can reach lengths of up to100 meters. Most typically feature pale pink striping, though blue-gray variants have also been observed. The stormwal's various fins act as electroreceptors, allowing the creature to detect the electrical fields of [[StarCitizen:aeroplankton]] and [[StarCitizen:kiami]], which are its primary source of nutrition. The respiratory and buoyancy organs are highly adapted to the atmospheric conditions of the gas giant Crusader. Two large bladders located directly behind the head serve as the initial stage of the respiratory system, drawing in atmospheric gases. Specialized internal organs filter and distill hydrogen and helium from the inhaled air. The extracted gases are stored in a network of internal bladders, which the stormwal regulates to alter its buoyancy and navigate different atmospheric layers.<ref>{{Cite RSI\|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RX34BjN2NK-stormwal\|accessdate=2026-07-19}}</ref>
