- "These blocks are so huge, and they're fit so closely together that you couldn't squeeze a Hosnian termite between them."
- ―Lopie to his colleagues
Hosnian termite were a type of small termite[1] that shared its name with the Core Worlds' Hosnian system.[2] Around 12 BBY,[3] a team of Crimson Dawn criminal syndicate operatives—led by the woman Qi'ra—visited a Jedi temple on a planet to seek a Force artifact. One of the team's members, Lopie, observed the temple and commented on how the blocks of the structure were so tightly fitted that a Hosnian termite could not fit between them.[1]

Hosnian termites were mentioned in Crimson Climb, a 2023 young-adult novel written by E. K. Johnston.[1]
