Vortex

Swirling windstorms sweep through the atmosphere of some planets, especially gas giants. Vortexes are more powerful than tornadoes, often traveling at speeds over 400 miles per hour. Some dissipate within hours, while others rage for years, fueled by superheated volatile gases. Vortexes deal massive bludgeoning damage each minute to creatures and objects (often including starships) in their path and carry them for hundreds of miles. Superheated vortexes also deal massive fire damage.
