The Perseus Veil is a cluster located at the terminus between the Attican Traverse and the Terminus Systems, near the northeastern galactic rim, and is located at the core of the Republic of Rannoch. The cluster once served as the home cluster of the Old Republic of Rannoch and the quarian people, but was lost after the First Morning War, where it became the core of geth space until 2186 CE, after the end of the Second Morning War. Due to the Veil's enormous nature, and the composition of it, it is almost impossible to scan through, making it very easy to defend.
The home cluster of the quarians, the Perseus Veil has been the subject of debate for the three hundred years that the quarians had spent exiled from it. This debate eventually culminated during the Reaper War, when the quarians launched a full-scale invasion of geth space in an attempt to liberate it. This war concluded with both sides reaching a peaceful resolution, and would eventually lead to the establishment of the Republic of Rannoch, which continues to exist today.
The cluster is named after the Greek mythological figure of Perseus, known as the legendary founder of Mycenae and the Perseid dynasty.
