how do the terminids travel space?

[BEAST_J03]

I know this is dumb but i haven't played the first one and i was wondering what the lore is for them reaching other planets? i love when sci-fi writers make cool ways for the flesh monstrosities to reach across space (like the tyranid ships from warhammer or the flood just taking ships).

All I think of now is the Flood in Halo, "Hey we have back up, that's not back up...."

Would be funny isn't?
We did dive close to the gloom several times, imagine if it stick to our ship and it play out like the Flood or Alien lol.

i think its a combination of gloom and super earth themselves makign an effort to keep them around to farm for oil.

The Super Earth lore says they propagate through space through interstellar spore clouds.

But all actual evidence suggests very strongly that terminids, even the heavily mutated ones, are unable to move from planet to planet without being transported by someone else. Even the Meridia disaster was obviously not launched because the terminids were about to spread, but because they were uncontrollable and unfarmable on the surface of the planet. As in the resources we need could not be harvested, and the population on that planet could not be controlled. So Super Earth ordered it to be turned into a black hole.
