Rishi Maze
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The Rishi Maze (known formally as Companion Aurek) was a difficult-to-navigate dwarf galaxy located near Wild Space. The planet Kamino was very close to the Rishi Maze. The Maze region was a place smugglers could hide or someone could lose trackers.

[edit] Behind the scenes
The Episode II DVD-ROM Exclusive Content states that "the cluster known as the Rishi Maze may be the bright object that Luke and Leia stare at at the end of The Empire Strikes Back." However, Leland Chee confirmed on the StarWars.com Message Boards that the object seen in Episode V is the Star Wars galaxy.[1]
It is not clear what the relationship between the Rishi Rift and the Rishi Maze is, if any. The Maze was given the formal nomenclature of Companion Aurek in The Essential Atlas.
In Hinduism, a rishi is a poet and seer who composed Vedic hymns.
