The Cluster

The Cluster is at the very center of the Divine Order from the show Lexx, the planet from which Xev, Stan, and Kai escape in the beginning. His Divine Shadow, his Divine Predecessors, and religious leadership rule from The Cluster. The Cluster is the capital of the League of 20,000 Planets, center of the bureaucracy, and place were all criminals/heretics are taken for punishment (provided they survive the trip). The planet has become an over centralized, overcomplicated mess, with most decisions being automated by an impersonal computer system prone to devastating mistakes at the slightest technological malfunction.

The Cluster was built upon a formerly dead planet in which His Divine Shadow had secretly hidden his weak insect body, the Gigashadow. The League of 20,000 Planets was an interstellar nation that exercised virtually unchallenged military hegemony over the entire Light Universe. The League existed mainly to provide the insect body with Sustenance so that over time it would once again grow strong and be able to facilitate the complete destruction of humanity and the rebirth of the Insect Civilization (one of the reasons his Divine Shadow's religion was so harsh and draconian was that it was designed to produce heretics and criminals that would later, under the guise of execution, be fed to his insect form). The Cluster was later destroyed, along with all the inhabitants of the League of 20,000 Planets in order to facilitate the rebirth of His Divine Shadow's Insect form. The rebirth failed when His Divine Shadow's own weapon, the Lexx, was turned against him.
