Menhir

"This is the kind of place where smart people with too much time on their hands make problems for the rest of us."

- Unidentified Alliance soldier

The Menhir was a Kathol research laboratory on "the dark world" within Otherspace, which was created in order for the Kathol to study and experiment with protomatter, the Force, the Void and dimension-bending phase drive technology. Within the Menhir, the Kathol stored their most sensitive and experimental technologies, away from realspace in order to minimize the potential of causing damage to their galaxy. Only the greatest philosophies, scientists and Force-users of the Kathol were permitted access to the Menhir.

Through their experiments within the Menhir, the Kathol inadvertently came into contact with the Hollowed One through their accidental creation of a Void occlus, which spawned in the galaxy of realspace. Following their initial contact with the Hollowed One, later known and worshiped as the Presence to the Charon, the Kathol abandoned the Menhir to the Otherworld, where it remained intact until over one million years later, when it was rediscovered by the Galactic Emergency Coalition.
