The Cluster

The Capital of The Divine Order and The League of 20,000 Planets

**The Cluster** is the name given to the Planetoid that was the Capital of the Divine Order, and The League of 20,000 Planets. it originally sat in The Light Zone, before it was destroyed in the End of The Episode, "Giga Shadow".

## Geography

The Cluster from orbit appears incredibly Desolate, having a sort of similar look to the Dwarf Planet, Ceres. however, one Major Spot of the Cluster is the large Inhabited Artificial Canopy that covers the Entrance to the Populated Areas of the Planetoid. beneath the Canopy is the Said Populated Area's, who is mostly surrounded by a Thick Cloud Layer, and most of it was built in Large Valley's. due to there being no Visible Terrain Features, the Population has to live within Huge, Hive-like Artificial Buildings that contains many cramped Sleeping Quarters. according to the Captain of Rockhound's Survey Team, the Cluster is mostly composed of Silicon. though, it is unknown if there are any other types of Material that makes up the Cluster's Composition.

### The Hollow World

in The said Episode of "Giga Shadow", it was revealed that the Cluster itself was a Hollow world, but more rather an Ancient Insect named The "Giga Shadow". the reason from this was because The Giga Shadow, after burying itself into the Cluster's Interior, begin to grow over time and Displaced The Core of the Planetoid. leaving it as a Hollow Shell until the Massive amounts of Settlements were built onto the Crust.

## Society

The Cluster's Society appears to mostly be made up of Human's, either being employed to the Divine Order, or are just simply Citizen Nobles. however, a Large Majority of The inhabitants are mainly robotic, and Security Drones mostly roams the Perimeters of the Cluster for any Fugitives or Heretics, and 700-Series Robots are mainly used for many Various Manual Labors. its unclear if there are any Inhabitants that aren't Human-like, and appear more Alien-like. oh yeah, The Cluster was also the Birth Place of the Lexx itself.

## Policies & Procedures

The Cluster seems to mostly enforce some very Strict Lifestyle altering Commandments on all of the Inhabitants, with those being detained as Heretics. Anyone who gets arrested for a Crime is fitted into a Harness and then is placed onto a Metal Slab, where they are taken to be tired and sentenced. The Criminal Justice in the League of 20,000 Planets was mainly centered on The Cluster, and the Sentencing Procedures are extremely Prejudiced and very One-sided. No Matter of what the Crime is, the Defendant will always be found Guilty and is normally terminated. the Organs of the Person and Flesh will be donated to the Protein Bank, and of course.. Feed the Lexx (who used to live on The Cluster), the Giga Shadow, and as well as creating the Various Cyborgs that are needed to Operate the Cluster.

## Fate

Similar to Fire and Water, The Lexx destroyed the entirety of The Cluster near the End of The Episode of "Giga Shadow". however, only one part of the Cluster was destroyed by The Giga Shadow, after its emergence from its Hollow Interior.

## Trivia

* When the Lexx is seen leaving the Inhabited Region of The Cluster, a near Size Comparison between the Ship and The Cluster itself is seen during "I Worship His Shadow". given that some sources claims that the Lexx is 10,000 Meters long (10 Kilometers Long), it is reasonable to assume that the Cluster is a few times the Size of The Ship. the Lexx' Shadow is seen reflecting onto the Cluster's Surface, meaning that an Approximate size for it could be made.
* a Group of Insects (or Arachnids) are collectively known as a Cluster.
* Bay Street, the financial district of Toronto, is also nicknamed "The Cluster".
* In "I Worship His Shadow", the Scene to where the Prison Ship is heading right towards to The Cluster, a Red Band of a presumably Ring System can be seen surrounding the Cluster. this Red Band doesn't appear again after the Episode, whatever it was, it could have likely been a Force Field of some kind.
