the Independant Research Vessel Adelaide , its crew and Dr.adelaide himself have been studying
various spacebourne organisms to find out how they survive the hard vaccum:

All the Small creatures have no DNA, making them immune to the radiation caused cancer in the place they live, all the matter they consist of is as depressed as the vaccum around them, making them immpossible to take on a planet because they would all get crushed, unlike theyre smaller and microscopic cousins
They all seem to directly or indirectly feed on the millions of tonnes of free particles in the omicron systems
thay move about by using the little hairs on their bodies to push the free particles, moving them frowards
the surrounding cold does not affect the organisms because the matter they are made of does not freeeze in the temprature range they are exposed to, and are sheilded from heat by the asteroids and free-particles
there is much more to learn about these little creatures but our study was cut short because our stay in the outcast space was timed-out
// all this info might be handy in RP stories and so and such, i just thought it was interesting to make an RP about the interesting little creatures that clog every nook and cranny of the outside of your ship.
EDIT: ok then, theyre not silicon based, my mistake

They can't all be silicon based as some luxury foods seem to be indirectly created from them.
And silicon is poison.
Good job though.

Perhaps we can find out what their connection is to the nomads next?

Uhm...no DNA?
Without DNA...well, they would have to be static, invulnerable structures. They couldn't reproduce or repair any damages, they probably could not metabolize...DNA is very, very important...and if you're assuming that they are alien enough that they don't have DNA, then I'm not sure at all how you can describe them as living creatures.
DNA is the only mechanism we know of by which an organism has any sort of program...OCCAM's razor suggests you've missed it, rather than them not containing it.

they use a different chemical structure other than Deoxyribonucleic acid, its more immune to being mutated by radiation in space, turning into cancer, and it comes in clumpy spheres rather than wound around in chromosomes , its very far from us. our new research is going to be on the strange particles in the H-fuel clouds and omicron-90

they look simple to me... so what will the researchers gain if they study all of their aspects? you cant bring them to places with no vacuum and i think they will die out one day anyway when gravity drags them to planets or even the sun itself fries them.

actually some of these organisms are used in the terraforming procses by planetform - they metabolize substances in a planet's oceans and produce large amounts of carbon dioxide and nitrogen, which speeds up the production of a planetary atmosphere - that in turn leads to weather systems forming.
Once that's done, the planet is 'seeded' with algae-like organisms which feed on these alien organisms that were put in the oceans and breathe the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere - the bioproduct of that is oxygen. Once enough oxygen is present more complex life forms (larger plants/trees and animals) can be added to the environment.
Overall alien organisms speed up the terraforming process by several years.
