>There is no evidence at all that any of the "outer gods" are from or related to space other than specifically the dark moon
The Dark Moon is not an Outer God
Outer Gods are deities that are not originated from the Greater Will and are arcane, which is why the Outer God heirloom boots Arcaneness

The Outer Gods include
The Twinbird
The Formless Mother
The Rot
The Great Serpent
The Bone-like Structure of Nightreign, a dead Outer God that was used to create a Gate of Divinity

Outer Gods select hosts that harbour their aspects, and those hosts are not necessarily Empyreans

>Hell, it doesn't actually even make things rot, really.
Rot is the power of lifesteal, death that begets life
