Quasar

A quasar was an astronomical object. They were created accidentally after the Vo'lach built the Spire on Canopus IV. It drew energy from the future of alternate timelines and pushed that energy back in time and space far from Canopus to avert the heat death of the universe. Some of that energy manifested as quasars. Since they did not come into existence until after the Spire was built, quasars did not appear on Vo'lach star maps. (PROSE: Ghost Devices)

In the 1990s, Earth astronomers mistook Kirith for a quasar due to its high levels of artron energy. (PROSE: Timewyrm: Apocalypse)
