The arrival of Hellstar in a star system spells inevitable doom. As it approaches, the system’s star dims and fades, absorbed by Hellstar’s voracious pull. Planets are torn apart, their atmospheres sucked into the dark vortex that surrounds it. Lifeforms that survive its initial approach are haunted by nightmares and hallucinations, as Hellstar’s psychic influence spreads through the system, feeding on their fear and despair.
