The Kurost sector represented an area of space, a sector, where the Galactic Empire maintained a transfer point for resources destined for Project Stardust. It was in this sector that Grand Admiral Balanhai Savit orchestrated the theft of critical parts needed for Stardust's creation, pilfering them from starships departing the transfer station.
It came to light that the Grysk Hegemony had begun deploying forces into the Kurost sector, indicating their desire to invade Imperial territory and claim it for themselves.
