The '''Darkheart colony''' was established by the [[Earth Empire]] in the [[Darkheart system]] at the turn of the [[31st century]] to study the temporal phenomena known as [[Darkheart]]. The Darkheart system was a semi-detached binary, consisting of a class K4 [[red supergiant]] and a [[neutron star]]. A portion of the neutron star's mass was displaced elsewhere in the system by a [[dimensional bridge]], where it cooled and formed [[dwarf star alloy|dwarf star material]], forming an apparent planet. It was there that the Darkheart colony was situated and had access to the Darkheart through a pyramid built on its surface. | The '''Darkheart colony''', usually referred to simply as '''Darkheart''', was established by the [[Earth Empire]] in the [[Darkheart system]] at the turn of the [[31st century]] to study the temporal phenomena known as [[Darkheart]].

Darkheart was founded in final years of the [[Earth Empire]] and thus became detached from the rest of human civilisation when Empire fell. Eventually, they were visited in the mid-[[34th century]] by members of the [[Galactic Federation]], an egalitarian community which had replaced the Empire. As observed by [[Captain]] [[Gillian Sherwin]] of the Federation ship the ''[[Piri Reis]]'', Darkheart was a skewed version of what the Earth Empire once was, with "all the trappings of a [[military]] [[dictatorship]], with an unusually high number of [[Guild of Adjudicators|Adjudicators]], who had ''de facto'' control of the colony. | |||
The governor of the colony was [[Viscount]] [[Gothard]]. The influence of the Darkheart meant the [[colonist]]s ceased to age, so Gothard was still serving as Viscount in the mid-34th century, until he was killed by [[the Master (The Dark Path)|the Master]].
