This article has a separate continuity.
This article is in the Dynamite Comics separate continuity, which is related to the Original Series. Be sure that your contributions to this article reflect the characters and events specific to this continuity only.

A certain black hole singularity is an artificial creation of Iblis, leading to a world where his followers had been first exiled after being being cast out by the Seraphs untold thousands of yahrens prior.

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 (Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 3 #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 Cylons who were also inexorably drawn into the singularity (Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 3 #1 — #3).

The singularity is one-directional by design as the realm is a trap for Iblis' sworn enemy, the Seraphs (Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 3 #3 and #4). It takes the destruction of a Ship of Lights to open a return path that bridges the two universes, thus allowing The Fleet, Lucifer's Cylons, various hapless victims, and the surviving Seraphs to return to the primary universe (Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 3 #5).

Notes[edit]

The use of a "black hole" to transport The Fleet to another universe aligns with some theoretical concepts relating to either charged Reissner-Nordström or rotating Kerr black holes.

+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}}).

-This congregation is fodder for [[Meclons]], who attack and abduct its members for "integration" into the Meclon Empire ({{comics|vol3|2}} & {{comics|vol3|3|short=y}}). However, the planet possesses a secret&mdash;another husk of a ship that bears the skeletons of Iblis' former pig-faced followers&mdash;in a cavern where even the Meclons do not enter, thus making it a sanctuary for the congregation ({{comics|vol3|2}}).
-Following a battle that destroys the {{alt|Ship of Lights}}&mdash;the act itself tearing a hole back into the primary universe&mdash;the [[Seraphs]] rescue the congregation and transport them to the Fleet. The planet left abandoned by the Fleet and {{alt|Lucifer}}'s Cylons who have made good their escape, Iblis returns to the planet to resurrect his original followers as Meclons, swearing vengeance against ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS}}'' and those who have shunned him ({{comics|vol3|5}}).
 == Notes ==
-* The planet shares many similarities with the [[red planet]] that [[War of the Gods|Iblis had been discovered upon]] previously, including wreckage of a large ship containing his long-dead followers.
+* 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.
-* Given Iblis' powers, it is entirely possible that Iblis' planet and the red planet previously encountered are one-and-the-same, displaced both in space and time, but that link is never definitively confirmed in {{comics|folly||this comic book series}}.
