The Dark Ages is considered to be the time period when many primitive civilisations first seeded by the ancients advanced to a point where they are space-born and rediscover parts of the ancients’ technology. Open warfare breaks out across the galaxy as newly starborn empires seek to gain access to the ancient technology. This ended when several major warring factions deploy Nova bombs against each other, which induce supernova's in target stars and destroys the central systems of the major factions of the Era. A consequence of this is the largest galaxy wide extinction event on record, where 98% of systems supporting life are sterilized. The only major race to survive beyond the core cluster of stars around their home system was humanity.

Text
  • Amidst this turmoil, we discovered many disturbing anomalies. Spatial disturbances appeared across the land. Objects went into a state of dimensional flux, their atoms divided between Aether and... somewhere else. There was little time to ponder these strange happenings, for we had to deal with the devastation of our lands.
  • The starborne terror burnt through the heavens and struck Aether with an untold might. We all expected the world to shatter... but Aether held. There was great devastation, however. The green plains of Agon were scorched forever, and the forest of Torvus was engulfed and wracked by the sea. The skies burned for days, casting darkness over the land.
  • The day came when space was torn asunder, revealing dimensional rifts to a dark place. Horrible dark swarms streaked forth from these rifts, engulfing nearby creatures and transforming them into what we would come to call darklings. The dark creatures became our enemies, and peace came to an end on Aether.
  • In time the roar of a wounded planet subsided. The air, though foul, was breathable. Light made its way through the dark veil over our world. Slowly, we ventured out from the shelters of our homes to see what remained of our paradise. What little comfort we gained by surviving was soon shattered, for when we looked outward, all we saw was devastation. Half of the planet's energy had vanished from the Energy Controllers. Aether became violently unstable as a result. Of the stellar object which struck our home, there was no sign.

abstract
  • The Dark Age was a proposed name for the era following the fall of The Hegemony (Power Sphere) as a result of the Karma War. The term was first coined by Unko Kalaikz in his article Order versus Anarchy, due to the destabilized nature of world politics.
  • The Luminoth Dark Age began at the end of the Golden Age when a Leviathan collided onto Aether. The impact caused severe damage to Aether's environment, turning the Agon Plains into a desert and the Torvus Forest into a flooded bog. The impact also placed Aether into a state of transdimensional flux, dividing the Light of Aether between Aether and a new, dark dimension known as Dark Aether. This destabilized the planets; if one were to lose all of its planetary energy, it would collapse. While attempting to rebuild after the devastation, the Luminoth discovered rifts in the world. Dark creatures they came to call the Ing began to cross over from the dark world and possess native creatures, converting them into pawns of the Ing, called "Darklings" by the Luminoth. The Ing also began to kill and possess Luminoth, although those who were possessed committed suicide to avoid falling into Ing hands. The Luminoth began to fight back, crossing through the rifts to begin a full-on war with the Ing that continued until Samus Aran, the human Bounty Hunter, destroyed Dark Aether in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

All of these are common targets for blame, however we all know they're fucking wrong and the real culprit is JNT and his kiddie diddling. However, the boundary for the Dark Age varies; some say it began as early as Warriors of the Deep, since Michael Grade used the Myrka as an example of his (objectively correct) opinion of why Doctor Who sucks. Some people put the marker even earlier - when Tom Baker left, when JNT became showruiner... Hell, some people even put it as early as when the First Golden Age ended and Gayham Williams took over. There are even some fans out there who think the Dark Age never ended in Classic Who, and that even Seasons 25 & 26 are crap (and their opinions are objectively wrong). I guess the Dark Age could even go hand in hand with The Wilderness Years, because what's worse than shit Doctor Who? No Doctor Who. Disregard that last part, we all know the world was a better place when Who was fucking dead.

Empires eventually flourished, and major factions were born. However, due to the Eldorian War of Conquest and the later First Terran War, most records from before this time were lost, leading the age to be unfortunately, and erroneously, remembered as a Dark Age.
