Gaia-BH1 was a black hole identified by the All-Father AI in the mid-OT-3500s as the nearest viable site for mass Tenebrium synthesis, where Armada and Cortex constructed vast orbital refineries to reduce production time from years to days, triggering the Tenebrium Age (OT-3760) and fueling galactic dominance aspirations. Gaia was lost in the Sundering (OT-3880), when a religious clash destabilized the system, forcing the Severance Protocol and the All-Father’s self-sacrifice to evacuate humanity before the black hole collapsed.
