Zugzwang Cluster

The Zugzwang Cluster is a region of space. It boasts the wreckage of several destroyed starships and odd, organic-looking, spider-web like structures.

Fiction

2005 IDW continuity

After Starscream had agreed to an alliance with the Dire Wraith Vekktral, the alliance attacked a Galactic Council ship due to meet with the Solstar Order. Once the crew had been slain and the Wraiths had assumed their forms, Starscream left behind a Vehicon and someone with a bulldozer alternate form to destroy the ship completely. Autobots on a deep space scouting mission however stumbled upon the wreckage and destroyed the Decepticons with Ultra Magnus smelling something fishy. After he'd hacked into the ship's security, Magnus discovered it had been bound for planet Xetaxxis...which the Autobots had never heard of. Shining Armor #2

Notes

• "[[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Zugzwang|{{#if:||Zugzwang}}]]" (German for "compulsion to move") is a situation in chess wherein a player will be forced into a disadvantage because they are forced to make a move.
• Considering the Galactic Council travelled through the cluster on their way to meet the Solstar Order, it would seem to be in Galactic Council space.
