Cron Supernova

Legends Canon version → Linked from 47 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The Cron Supernova, also known as the Cron Drift Explosion, was the destruction of the Cron Cluster in 3996 BBY, during the Great Sith War's Battle of Kemplex Nine. Aleema Keto unwittingly caused it using Sith sorcery. The blast devastated Ossus and created the Cron Drift.

Four millennia later, the Krath involvement in the Supernova was disregarded as a legend by New Republic historians such as Corellia Antilles.
