Coruscant Garbage Worm

The Coruscant Garbage Worm was essential to the garbage handling system. Any trash not packaged for orbital export was mixed with oils to be processed by the worms. They chewed it down to tiny pellets, removing any last bits of organics, plastic, or recoverable metal. They reduced millions of tons of these pellets into carbon dioxide, methane, and other organics.

Thousands, if not millions of worms occupied the garbage level of the city-planet. Their scales were loose and large, prized by collectors from their glittery quality.

These creatures were a large part of illegal garbage pit racing, where a contestant had to take a scale from the worm and bring it back to the finish.

Rumor had it that a garbage worm could eat a useless hyperdrive core and survive...for a few seconds.
