As it adds to the lore and history of the Star Wars Universe, it inevitably harks back to the material that came before it through easter eggs and references. Jedi Master Indara mentions a hyperspace disaster that turned Brendok lifeless. This is likely a reference to the Great Hyperspace Disaster that happened 100 years before the events of The Acolyte, as described in the canon book The High Republic: Light of the Jedi by Charles Soule.
Caused by the hyperroute collision between the Class A modular freight transport Legacy Run and a ship belonging to a pirate group known as the Nihil, the event impacted multiple worlds, with Brendok apparently being one of them. The Jedi believe that a Force vergence or Force nexus is why Brendok is now thriving despite being rendered lifeless due to a hyperspace disaster. The concept of the Force vergence has appeared several times in the Star Wars canon.
A Force vergence is mostly a place, structure, or object, though Qui-Gon Jinn believes Anakin Skywalker is a Force vergenc.
