The room of six shadows existed inside of the asteroid designated I-9, which itself was located in the Cularin asteroid belt. The non-physical shadow lurkers—the disembodied spirits from the Oblee species—were responsible for the chamber's creation; it served as a protective measure to keep the Darkstaff contained. This ancient Sith artifact was stored inside the asteroid. The chamber held six shadows, each tied to a planetary body found in the Cularin system. The only way to reach the chamber holding the Darkstaff was by traversing the shadow linked to the world of Oblis. If one went through the shadow representing the planet Cularin, they would be injured. However, going through any of the other shadows would result in madness.
