The black hole certainly affected the culture of the Charon. In the face of imminent destruction of their entire planetary system, a death cult has risen to explain the apparent futility of existence. The premise of the cult is this: the Void is the way of the universe, and eventually, everything will return to it. However, life seeks to triumph over the Void, refusing to acknowledge Its primacy. Therefore, life must be destroyed.

The followers of the Charon death cult, then, believe it is their responsibility to help life along on the unavoidable journey to the Void.

Ironically, shortly after the death cult became influential on the Charon homeworld, they developed stardrive. Instead of utilizing the drive to escape their doomed world, however, Charon death worshippers destroyed their home planet and all non-believers. Then, they used the stardrive to travel into deep space.

The Charon spread throughout their galaxy and eradicated life wherever they found it. Luckily for our galaxy, the Charon posses neither hyperdrive or the capability to leave their galaxy and journey to our dimension. If they ever did develop such abilities, then much more than a civil war would be raging through our galaxy.

It is to be assumed that there are no Charon outside of Otherspace, although there have been reports of unexplained phenomena occurring in several of the outer systems, and these phenomena could be explained as being the action of the Charon.

Although Otherspace and the Charon are of little interest to most beings in the galaxy, it has been reported that the Charon see this galaxy as a source of two important resources: beings to send to the Void, and fresh genetic material which can be integrated into their constructs.
