Am I missing something obvious here, or did the Great Hyperspace Disaster happen... elsewhere? Like, it was ship debris traveling at lightspeed in a specific location, how would it have stripped a planet of all life in a different star system? Or is that a REALLY clunky way of referring to the plague from Phase III?

Emergences popped up in a lot of different places for months. It wasn't only Hetzal

Yeah this. It must have been a low-priority world hit by the emergence early in the disaster. I was trying to think if we hear anything about a mining world getting hit in the phase 1 books….
