A black cluster
A map of a black cluster.
A black cluster is a type of cluster that is created when numerous protostars collapsed in close proximity to one another. The result of this collective collapse was an area of space that absorbs energy and dangerously affects spacecraft systems. Prior to 2368, the Federation maintained reports from ships traveling through black clusters indicating sensor difficulties.
In 2368, the SS Vico was assigned to explore a black cluster, located in Sector 97. This particular cluster that was formed about 9 billion years ago, from hundreds of collapsed protostars, and was seven times more massive than any black cluster that had been previously previously. After Starbase 514 lost contact with the Vico the , son of Ja'rod| was sent to investigate. Upon its' arrival on the edge of this black cluster, the destroyed hulk of the Vico was immediately found. The Enterprise itself was almost destroyed whilst further investigating the Vico's disappearance. (TNG: "Hero Worship").
The Federation space station Deep Space 3 is located near a black cluster. (TNG: "Interface")
