- "There are many star clusters in that area. With a ship that big, he will be unable to chart a course that's less than ten parsecs."
- ―Plo Koon to Anakin Skywalker, regarding General Grievous' voyage to the Kaliida Shoals Medical Center aboard the Malevolence
A star cluster was a grouping of stars. Any starships that got too close to a star cluster would be destroyed by its powerful gravity field. At some point, a star cluster imploded somewhere in Wild Space, forming a powerful, maze-like energy anomaly. That anomaly concealed the location of Lira San, the original homeworld of the Lasat people. Despite being normally impossible to navigate, the star cluster allowed the rebel starship known as the Ghost to pass through after Garazeb Orrelios activated its hyperdrive through the ancient ways of his bo-rifle. Two pursuing TIE fighters, who did not have such protection, were destroyed by the gravity however.[1] The Minos Cluster was a star cluster within the borders of the Galactic Empire.[2]
