They loaded as many people as they could onto their remaining vessels, and ran, only stopping to gather enough resources to make the next leg of their journey. When the citizens of one of the Empire's outermost worlds found it, they made the decision to abandon the empire.

Only one ship, heavily damaged, it's crew driven mad with fear, came back. When this happened, the entirety of the Dark Fleet was amassed, and sent to fight whatever was destroying their worlds. Eventually the unknown terror silenced the capital world. One by one, worlds ever closer to their core worlds, which included the empire's capital, went dark, and the Vasari knew something was wrong. However, when Dark Fleet scouts sent to re-establish communication with the fringe worlds that had gone silent never reported back, suspicion began to mount. At first, a few of the empire's border worlds became dark, which initially was thought to be a communications error. Relentless and unstoppable, the empire's fleet, known as the Dark Fleet, sought to eclipse ever more until a cataclysm brought it all to an abrupt end. The Vasari Empire ruled over countless worlds.
