Hawking Eta

The Hawking Eta cluster is likely named after the renowned physicist and theoretician Stephen Hawking, notable for his work concerning black holes.

The cluster lies uncomfortably close to the "Five Kiloparsec Ring" around the galactic core. Much of this area is too dangerous to safely travel.

The Mu Relay is in this cluster. Over the past 4000 years, as the map implies, a supernova has denuded most of this cluster of particle clouds and its systems of lower-mass orbiting satellites. Until about 300 CE the rachni controlled the cluster, and searched for the relay. They eventually found it, but either did not use it or else were followed by the krogan. Likewise, if the krogan used it they were followed by the turians.

Now the cluster is considered to be in the Terminus Systems.
