The black mountain was, according to Shaxs, a "spiritual battleground" where the soul went after death. There they must fight three faceless apparitions of their father, after which the surviving father makes them eat their heart.

In 2381, a resurrected Lieutenant Shaxs described his experience at the black mountain to Ensign Sam Rutherford. (LD: "We'll Always Have Tom Paris")

Later that year, when Lieutenant Commander Steve Stevens was brain dead for ten minutes after being turned to stone by a psychic mine on Jengus IV, he said that he saw "a koala sitting on a black mount[ain]". (LD: "Mining The Mind's Mines")

Later still, when Lieutenant jg Brad Boimler briefly died after being caught in an explosion from a power relay on Corazonia, he found himself in a mysterious room where the black mountain was visible from the window. (LD: "In the Cradle of Vexilon")

When Badgey ascended, he suggested that he would check out the black mountain. (LD: "A Few Badgeys More")

While attempting to resuscitate Ensign Mackler in 2382, Boimler told him to "turn away from the mountain". (LD: "Shades of Green")

The black mountain has also been referenced as a place after death in Rick and Morty and Solar Opposites, shows on which Mike McMahan works as a showrunner.
