Hades Lair is a cluster located near the border of the Attican Traverse, at the edge of what was once Old Republic space. Colonized in 201 CE by the quarians, the cluster quickly became a territory of the Old Republic, where it remained as one of the most populated clusters in the quarian republic, as well as one of the greatest compliments of dextro worlds in the entire galaxy. After the Jali'skah Rebellion, the cluster rapidly fell to the geth and was then abandoned when they retreated into the newly formed geth space. The cluster was occasionally patrolled by the Alliance stealth frigate SSV Stalingrad, and these patrols continued until 2186 CE, when the Stalingrad was recalled to respond to the escalating Reaper threat.
The Hades Lair cluster was recolonized by the Republic of Rannoch following the Reaper War, and regained much of its pre-First Morning War significance prior to the Border War, with the help of the geth: this allowed the quarians to launch surgical strikes into Hegemony space during the war.
The cluster is named after one of the Greek deities of the ancient Greek pantheon known as Hades, who was the god of the dead and king of the underworld in Greek mythology.
