The literal meaning of the character 'disaster' (unstern in Latin de s-astrum) is a non-star. [...] Disaster invades the "space of stars" as a non-star.

Disaster causes nomadic confusion and then leaves again, but it has a sudden and intense unpredictability that is difficult to notice from the outside.
