Dying Sun

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I understand that a black hole is in the star, but I do not recall ever reading how it was developed.  I always assumed that Typhon caused its destruction in special projects to extract energy from the Sun.  This is pure speculation because of the size and energy required to run ships like the Whorl.  Star Lifting would be a great energy source for a long lasting Whorl, and having other technologies that could strip the sun of energy would provide a lot of power needed to run technologies of that level.
 
This is all speculation, because I can't remember reading a source saying that anything caused it, other than Typhon had scientist that were speculating the rate of its deminishment and they underestimated it (meaning that during Typhon's rule is when the Sun really increased its rate of decline, so I think that he did it)
