The authors commented that clusters like the Maw 'may be short-lived,' lending credence to the notion that the Maw would be physically unstable. On January 27, 2021, the Maw was referenced in an astrophysics publication considering the potential formation of 'dark star clusters' containing up to thousands of black holes, most a few tens of times the mass of the sun. The Maw first appeared in the 1994 The Jedi Academy Trilogy book series. ĭuring the New Jedi Order's conflict with the entity Abeloth, in 44 ABY, the Jedi Order learned from the Thuruht hive that the Maw was created by Thuruht and other Killik hives to serve as a prison for Abeloth. Within The Maw, they discovered Sinkhole Station and the Mind Walkers. In 43 ABY, Luke Skywalker and his son Ben visited the Maw during their journey to discover the reasons for Jacen Solo's fall to the dark side. Shelter was located at the very heart of the Maw and at one point housed the wartime generation of Jedi apprentices and surviving Jedi Praxeum students. Other superweapons designed and built there include the World Devastators, the Tarkin, the Ionic Ring Ship, and the Galaxy Gun.ĭuring the Yuuzhan Vong War, Lando Calrissian sponsored the construction of a space station called Shelter, which was built with the remains of Maw Installation as a refuge for fugitive Jedi Knights. The Maw was also the location of the creation and destruction of the Sun Crusher it was constructed at the Maw Installation and destroyed when it was sent into one of the black holes within the Maw. During the battle, numerous prisoners escaped and the prison was destroyed. The Millennium Falcon departs Kessel and the Maw.Ī planetoid near the Maw was also the site of an Imperial detention base which was attacked by the Rebel Alliance flight group Rogue Squadron after the Battle of Hoth in the year 3 ABY. The installation was actually located within a safe zone inside the cluster discovered just prior to the start of the project. Tarkin knew that the Maw's near-inaccessibility and remoteness made it easy for him to hide the project. The Maw was the site of Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin's Maw Installation, where the Death Star prototype and most of the first Death Star was built, although it was completed at Despayre. ĭuring the Xim Wars, a number of warships from Xim's empire were forced back to Kessel where several of them were lost in the Maw. Millennia before the Battle of Yavin, The Ones used Centerpoint Station to create the Maw black hole cluster, while Sinkhole Station was built to maintain Abeloth's prison from within. Any ship's captains that neared the edge of the Maw would notice pieces of their ships being pulled apart, and some smugglers and criminals used it as a shortcut past the Kessel Run.
Most of the area of the Maw was saturated in radiation, plasma, and strong gravitational forces. The stability of the cluster itself was something of a mystery, with some believing that an advanced civilization might have constructed it, rather than it merging together like a normal cluster would. Map of the Maw Cluster and its surrounding region.īecause of the intense gravity of the black holes, the entire Kessel system was slowly drawn into the Maw. The ionizing gases being drawn into it made the cluster visible and made it one of the Wonders of the Galaxy. The Maw was a cluster of black holes located in the Kessel sector of the Outer Rim Territories, at the center of the Maw Nebulae.
