A plasma storm presented difficulties for scanning equipment. When New Republic General Hera Syndulla's refitted Star Destroyer, the Deliverance, entered the Ciaox Verith system, a jade plasma storm manifested as cerulean serpent-like forms; she attempted to remain focused despite their presence.
The novel Victory's Price from 2021, the final book in the Star Wars: Alphabet Squadron trilogy written by Alexander Freed, featured the plasma storm.
