The Cron Supernova was the destruction of the Cron Cluster in 3,996 BBY, during the Great Sith War's Battle of Kemplex IX. Aleema Keto unwittingly caused it using Sith magic that had been boosted by Ulic Qel-Droma, who wished to repay her treacherous underpinnings. 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 Henrietya Antilles.^[1]
