History & Background[edit]
The Gvuekh Cluster has played an important role in the development of the region. It is named for Gvuekhluerar, a Vargr-dominated system characterised by quaternary stars.
High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move along it, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between its member worlds.
