The '''Minos Cluster''' {{Pronounced|'maɪ.nʊs}} was a [[Star cluster/Legends|star cluster]] and [[Sector/Legends|sector]] located within the [[Outer Rim Territories/Legends|Outer Rim]] region of [[The galaxy/Legends|the galaxy]]. Over 70 [[Planet/Legends|planets]] within the cluster were suitable for life including [[Haven (planetoid)|Haven]], [[Karideph/Legends|Karideph]], [[Onadax]], [[Adarlon/Legends|Adarlon]], [[Eliad]], [[Gesaril]], [[Pergitor]], [[Quockra-4]], [[Shesharile]], [[Teh'Jar II]], and [[Yelsain/Legends|Yelsain]]. The cluster also included the [[Mestra system|Mestra]] and [[Travnin system]]s.

==History==
In [[3653 BBY]], the [[Sith Empire/Legends|Sith Empire's]] [[Minos Cluster Campaign|offensive]] against the [[Galactic Republic/Legends|Galactic Republic]] in the Minos Cluster ended, according to a report given to the [[Galactic Senate/Legends|Galactic Senate]] just before the [[Sacking of Coruscant]].<ref name="Star Wars: The Old Republic, Threat of Peace Act 1: Treaty of Coruscant">''[[The Old Republic, Threat of Peace Act 1: Treaty of Coruscant]]''</ref>

Under the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire]], the Minos Cluster was treated as a [[Sector/Legends|sector]], with a [[Moff/Legends|Moff]] based on [[Travnin/Legends|Travnin]] serving as its governor; however the [[Sector Fleet|sector fleet]] that was assigned to the cluster was small, centered around a single aging [[Victory I-class Star Destroyer/Legends|''Victory I''-class Star Destroyer]], ''[[The Chariot]]''. It had a reputation as being a good place for those on the run from the Empire to hide.

[[Tri-Nebula Entertainment]] was based in the Minos Cluster.<ref name="G4:45">{{GamerCite|4|The Starhoppers of Aduba-3}}, p. 45</ref> [[Babel Torsch]] was the head of the [[Imperial Office of Customs/Legends|Imperial Customs]] office for the cluster.

During the [[Galactic Civil War/Legends|Galactic Civil War]], the [[Moon/Legends|moon]] [[Haven (planetoid)|Haven]] served as the site of the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebel Alliance's]] primary resistance center in the Minos Cluster.<ref name="CSWE">{{CSWECite|II|26|Haven}}</ref>

==Behind the scenes==
The Minos Cluster was introduced in the [[1990]] sourcebook ''[[Galaxy Guide 6: Tramp Freighters]]'', authored by [[Mark Rein-Hagen]] and [[Stewart Wieck]] and published for use with [[West End Games]]' ''[[Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game]]''.<ref name="GG6">''[[Galaxy Guide 6: Tramp Freighters]]''</ref> The cluster later made its first appearance in the [[1993]] [[Roleplaying game|roleplaying]] adventure "[[Parts is Parts]]," written by [[Wallace D. Greer]] for use with ''Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game'' and published in the [[Challenge 68|sixty-eighth issue]] of the [[Challenge (magazine)|''Challenge'']] magazine. Since the article was released outside of the [[Lucas Licensing]] process, its [[canon]]icity with respect to the [[Star Wars Legends|''Star Wars'' Legends]] continuity was never confirmed.<ref name="Challenge">{{ChallengeCite|68|Parts is Parts}}</ref>

The first appearance of the star cluster in a canonical source within the Legends continuity was in "[[Lumrunners]]," a short story authored by [[John Beyer]] and [[Wayne Humfleet]] and published in the [[Star Wars Adventure Journal 9|ninth issue]] of the ''[[Star Wars Adventure Journal]]'' magazine on [[February]] [[1996]].<ref name="Lumrunners">{{Journal|9|Lumrunners}}</ref> In [[2008]], ''[[The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia]]'' established that the events of<ref name="CSWE" /> the closing scenes of the [[1980]] [[original trilogy]] film, [[Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back|''Star Wars'': Episode V ''The Empire Strikes Back'']],<ref name="ESB">{{Film|V}}</ref> took place in the Minos Cluster, thereby establishing that film as the cluster's de facto first appearance.<ref name="CSWE" />
