An outside perspective

The Old Ones ravaged through all planes and planets for nearly ten thousand years. There were decades of peace, but the next attack was always inevitable, much like the eruption of a vulcano. No single planet was able to defeat the Eldritch gods by themselves, and so they formed an alliance. Each group send one champion to form a collective that was tasked to find out where the Old Ones retreated and attack them at their home. The first collective failed miserably, and was defeated in areal combat not far from one of the material planets. So another collective was formed, and another, each one gathering more information about the common enemy and teaching the next collective to learn from their mistake. 
The second to last collective finally discovered why it had been such a hard task to find the Eldritch home. It was not a planet, not really, it was a planet in the shape of a donut, that was manoeuvrable by Eldritch forces. This allowed the Old Ones to strategically move their home and remain unnoticed for eons. They landed on the planet and installed a beacon. The beacon was successful and sent out a signal periodically, but the collective was never heard from again. 
This is when we arrive at the collective that is currently known as the First Alliance Pantheon. The last we know is that they travelled to the beacon's signal and were never to be seen again. Ever since, not one sighting of the Old Ones has been reported. Are the Old Ones really gone? Did any of the collective survive? Why did they not come back? Where is the donut shaped planet?
