Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Maw Installation was an Imperial research center established by Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin for the creation of superweapons. It was built from asteroids in the midst of the Maw Cluster, a virtually unnavigable cluster of black holes in the Outer Rim Territories. Several battles have taken place on the research base. After its destruction, the Maw colony was set up under Natasi Daala, and the facility's ruins were repurposed as a New Jedi Order base named Shelter.
