History
The Dark Star is the current incarnation of the star once known as Ante. Forever altered by the sorceress Tiamat’s dark ritual, the once M-class star was altered to become a black dwarf during the Obscuration. It is essentially invisible due to its extremely cool surface temperature. Black dwarfs are rare phenomena in the galaxy as they generally require some twenty billion years to cool to the point of no longer emitting light or heat. The Obscuration stands as a testament to Tiamat’s power that she was able to affect such a dramatic event so quickly.
Prior to its unnatural transformation, Ante had burned for some 8 billion years as the sole source of light for the Antei System. Once benefactor, Ante has now become the Dark Star silently orbiting Antares, stripped of its role as regent. Now it festers with the Dark Side that some even say enhances the power of the Brotherhood within its sight.
