Dust durni was a slang term used to refer to a large pile of dust. Its name refers to the durni, whose soft fur coat may have reminded someone of the soft nature of dust. In 1 ABY, a spacer who was visiting the Tansarii Point Station searched the station for all the dust durnis on the station, cleaning them up as they went. For removing them all, they were rewarded with a feather duster by Yawse Felsiy. Another spacer later performed a similar task on Nova Orion Station.
Dust durnis appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts, prior to its closure on December 15, 2011. Dust durnis were added to the game upon the release of the "Chapter 8" on January 15, 2008.
Dust durnis were an interactive object that players could collect. The name is a reference to the term "dust bunnies" here on Earth, as durnis and rabbits are similar in appearance.
