Void occlus

A Void collapsar was a term coined by the Charon Dominion to refer to a particular spacial location were the presence of the Void was extraordinarily potent. Because of the the Force's non-existence in Otherspace, the natural presence of the Void and the mass of death that overtook the Otherspace galaxy during the Oblivion Crusades, the existence of Void collapsars only came about during the Extant War, when the Charon were re-exposed to the Force. To the denizens of the galaxy in realspace, such phenomenons were known as wounds in the Force, induced by a loss of a grandiose magnitude of deaths, extinguished either simultaneously or within close chronological proximity.

For unknown reasons, Void collapsars in the realspace galaxy were more intense than most locations of Otherspace, as respects of the concentration of the Void. The Voidborn of both the Charon Dominion and the Void of Animus held such places as sacred during the Extant War, viewing it as fissures made by the Void to establish its presence in the galaxy. Like Force nexuses, Voidborn's powers grew more potent in the presence of a Void collapsar, and made possible the creation of Void relics, like the Void Stone, as well as Void-imbued weapons without requiring a fragment of the Void Stone.

Perhaps the most mysterious aspect of a Void collapsar is that it was possible for a Void collapsar to occur within a living, sapient being, albeit only when Force-sensitive. This phenomenon has likened such beings, at least from the perspective of Force-sensitives, as being "already dead". The Savant Caste of the Charon Dominion were said to have theorized this never occurring among Voidborn because, as their namesake alluded, they were already "in harmony with the Void". There were two significant cases were such a happenstance took place; within the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Nihilus, and the exiled Jedi Master, Meetra Surik.

It would only be several thousands of years later, however, that the full nature of Force-sensitive beings becoming "wounds in the Force" would be discovered by Sith Queen Aedra and the prophetess Savelle Ulesari.
