- "Legend refers to these titanic events as the Obscuration."
- ―Antei System description
History
The Obscuration began circa 2950 BBY when the sorceress Tiamat apparently lost control of a Krath ritual meant to harness the power of stars. The term has come to generally refer to events which took place at the time and concluded with Tiamat's death, but it also refers to the period spanning some 3,000 years during which nearby Antares pulled the Antei system's bodies into its own system forming a composite of the two.
The name Obscuration stems from the events that unfolded during the ritual in which Ante, the primary star of the Antei system, was unnaturally altered by Tiamat. Seeking the star's power for her own, the sorceress attempted to create a conduit between herself and Ante. When the ritual spiraled out of control, the Force energies unleashed upon the star caused it to rapidly burn through its hydrogen fuel causing it to go dark and enter classification as a 'black dwarf'.
