Aedana Star Cluster

The Aedana Star Cluster was the name given to a group of ancient Living Stars that were situated close to the absolute center of the Original Universe.

History
In the early years of the Original Universe (or one of the universes that were merged to create it), the Aedana Star Cluster was a group of Living Stars that were situated close to the absolute center of reality. One of them, Aedana, took a proactive role in protecting the developing civilization of the nearby planet Aedis from the malignant forces of the cosmos by vaporizing threats with solar flares, which were witnessed by the planet's native Aedisians. When the stars in the Aedana Star Cluster approached the end of their natural life span, teetering on the verge of becoming supernovae, Eclipse intervened to "save" the lives of the Aedisians by consuming the souls of the weak and transforming the rest, such as Quolas, into Kra'lythe. Eclipse turned the newly converted Kra'lythe into loyal acolytes by convincing them that the Living Stars would have allowed them to die in the supernovae if he had not intervened.
