Origin and Glory Years
DarkStar was founded in 1975 by a group of players from the University of Oregon. Under the steam of Ultimate legend Henry Callahan, DarkStar in its first decade became a major rival of the dynastic Santa Barbara Condors. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, club Nationals was attended by a champion from each of five regions in the US. This spot was usually fought for desperately between DarkStar, the Condors, and San Francisco's 'Flying Circus.'
In 1980, DarkStar lost to the Condors in the finals of the World Flying Disc Championships, in front of eight CBS cameras. At Western Regional finals at the culmination of the season, DarkStar surprised Flying Circus in the semifinals and earned a chance to face their rivals, Santa Barbara, in the finals.
