Legend

this unusual star formation was located just beyond the mouth of the Utegetu Nebula, forming a sort of gauntlet that had to be negotiated before a starship could enter the nebula itself. On one side of the Murgo Choke was a binary star system formed from a yellow and an orange star of similar size. On the other side, another binary system formed from a crimson dwarf that orbited a blue giant created an unusual match. Because of this collection of four stars in such proximity, the Murgo Choke was difficult to navigate through. However, it was the only way to reach the opening of the Utegetu Nebula. Starships wishing to travel to the nebula had to exit from the Rago Run at one of several jump points, then make their way through the Murgo Choke.
