RE: Time to speak of many... Re: Gas Skimmers

Had an unusual thought...  Since we know so little about Sa'vasku, they
could be gas giant dwellers.
Maybe they have a similar relationship in a gas giant to the worms of
Arrakis.  Instead of spice, they spit out pure H2.

I'm not sure of the chemistry involved, but hydrogen heavy gas giants
could be few & far between.

I couldn't find the actual atmosphere mix, but Jupiter is primarily a
Helium/Hydrogen mix.
 "Jupiter is believed to have three cloud layers in its atmosphere. At
the top are clouds of ammonia ice; beneath that ammonium-hydrogen
sulfide crystals; and in the lowest layer, water ice and perhaps liquid
water." - from the Galileo home page.

    Or it could be those intelligent gas giant aliens who provide those
ultra concentrated patches of H2!
