A certain '''black hole''' singularity is an artificial creation of {{alt|Iblis}}, leading to a [[Iblis' planet|world]] where his followers had been first exiled after being being cast out by the [[Seraphs]] untold thousands of [[yahren]]s prior.
Following the [[Nebula Ambush]], {{alt|the Fleet|TOS}} happens across another "fork in the road," featuring a well-charted sector of space and a "storm zone" ({{comics|vol2|6}}).
 
This black hole bridges the Colonial's known universe and a separate universe, ensnaring many hapless denizens for an untold period of time due to its devastating effects on ships that pass through it. The fact that it "hides" in normal space only to be "sprung" on unsuspecting ships is unnatural ({{comics|vol3|1}}).
 
In range of its egress is a singular planet around which a thickly-ringed graveyard of ships orbits, its survivors making landfall on the planet only to be hunted down by the [[Meclons]]—former {{alt|Cylons|TOS}} who were also inexorably drawn into the singularity ({{comics|vol3|1}} — {{comics|vol3|3|short=y}}).
 
The singularity is one-directional by design as the realm is a trap for Iblis' sworn enemy, the [[Seraphs]] ({{comics|vol3|3}} and {{comics|vol3|4|short=y}}). It takes the destruction of a {{alt|Ship of Lights}} to open a return path that bridges the two universes, thus allowing {{alt|The Fleet|TOS}}, {{alt|Lucifer}}'s {{alt|Cylons|TOS}}, various hapless victims, and the surviving Seraphs to return to the primary universe ({{comics|vol3|5}}).

* The use of a "black hole" to transport {{alt|The Fleet|TOS}} to another universe aligns with some theoretical concepts relating to either charged [[w:Reissner–Nordström metric|Reissner-Nordström]] or rotating [[w:Kerr metric|Kerr]] black holes.  
* The "storm zone" can be seen as an analog to the [[magnetic void]] to {{TOS|Kobol}}.
