Even fictional years start each November 6. Odd fictional years start each April 13.
DB Timeline
Old Republic Era
Star Chamber Era
- 3950 BBY
- 3950 BBY
- 3800 BBY
- Okemi is driven insane by an unknown consciousness which spreads to the Star Chamber's lesser cultists. Unlike Okemi, the younger cultists are unable to stop the consciousness driving them insane and a war breaks out across Antei.
- Taimat, realizing the monster Okemi has become, attempts to collapse the Antei's star to destroy him and all life in the system to contain the corruption. However Ferran, unwilling to allow what they have spent fifty years building go to ruin, understands the consciousness's true goal all too well and kills Taimat before the ritual can be completed.
- Instead of going supernova, Tiamat's death causes her ritual to reverse and Ante consumes the light of the system. The Antei Nebula, a nebula field that encompasses the system, is destabilized in the process, making it nearly impossible to traverse and sealing the system away from the rest of the galaxy.
