Minos Cluster

The Minos Cluster was a star cluster and sector in the Outer Rim Territories and Western Reaches regions that contained the Prandril system. It was connected to the super-hyperroute Rimma Trade Route and bordered the Elrood, Kathol, and Rseik sectors. Millennia before 229 BBY, a collision occurred with an astronomical object in the Prandril system, resulting in the destroyed celestial body's debris forming a dense asteroid field around the system's remaining astronomical objects.

During the High Republic Era, the Minos Cluster fell within the Galactic Republic's Galactic Frontier exploration region. The Minos Cluster also fell within the borders of the Occlusion Zone, following its formation in 230 BBY, as one of ten sectors sealed behind a barrier preventing hyperspace travel. In 229 BBY, the Nihil marauders controlling the Occlusion Zone attacked Prandril's Rodian colony and killed half its colonists for not paying their tributes to the pirates. Later that year, Jedi Master Avar Kriss and the pilot Belin delivered grain to the starving Rodian colony. Also that year, the former Byne Guild pilots Affie Hollow and Leox Gyasi visited a planet in the cluster, Kennerla, to recruit one of their former colleagues—the pilot Dumas Mar'Ti—into their trade network. In 228 BBY, the Occlusion Zone dissolved following the Stormwall's fall.

Around 1 ABY, the rogue archaeologist Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra, the Rebel Alliance General Hera Syndulla, and mercenaries hired by the Son-tuul Pride syndicate successfully infiltrated the Tarkin Initiative research and development complex Hivebase-1, retrieving the memories of the droid 0-0-0. No earlier than 2 ABY, the Galactic Empire's Task Force 99 went on a mission to the celestial body Yelsain, which was in the sector. During the New Republic Era, the cluster's celestial body Adarlon suffered from a famine.
