Otherspace was a dimension beyond both real space and hyperspace. While it appeared to be a vast expanse of storm-gray nothingness, it did contain colored, swirling nebulae, and stars which were described as "shining holes of darkness."
The Charon species were native to a planet within Otherspace. Unfortunately, a nearby black hole threatened to devour their homeworld. The presence of this interstellar disturbance caused an enormous amount of stress on the Charon's part. Before long, the stress twisted their culture, giving rise to a death-worshipping religion. The members of this cult believed that it was their sacred duty to speed all life towards the Void of Death. After eradicating all of those who were unbelievers--which meant destroying all sentient life--on their homeworld, the Charon developed interstellar travel, and continued their holy mission. Eventually, all that remained was a multitude of barren, lifeless planets, and a few biologically engineered Charon starships roaming the void in search of any remaining traces of life.
