The Afteshocks came about at the start of the Astrillian civilisation, a new one comes into existance for each Astrillian born, and they dont go when they die.

Since around 1 bil astrillians have existed thorughout Astrals history, thats why there is so many aftershocks to.

Phantom gained control, because he overcame the psionic power (only psionics can rule the aftershocks) of the previous King, so he became the new one.
