Xoret Cluster

The Xoret Cluster was a grouping of more than a million old, metal-poor stars in the Intergalactic Void. Originating from one of the Companions, the cluster sat still in the gravitational tug-of-war of the AG-12 and the galaxy. Due to its strategic position, it was home to a CNAP outpost.

Description
The massive cluster contained more than 1,000,000 old, metal-poor stars. Its movement and the stellar wind of its stars blew its internal molecular clouds out to the edges, forming a halo of nebulae near its outermost stars. This area was an active stellar nursery, primarily forming yellow or white stars, though some blue giants were also created. The aging yellow and red stars in the deeper regions were chemically similar to those of the Companions, which led scientists to believe that the cluster was ejected by one of the galaxy's satellites a long time ago. The cluster only contained a relatively small amount of inhabited planets, most of which were located at its edges and the nebulae bordering it. Due to the lack of many conventional metals in the deeper regions of the cluster, some exotic carbon or silicate planets were also formed.
