star-system
In an astronomical context, this term describes a physical arrangement of celestial bodies. It is used technically to distinguish multiple star systems from single-star systems like our own Solar System, though the latter is often colloquially referred to as a system.
When applied to sociology or industry, the term describes a power dynamic where a small elite of high-profile individuals dominates the resources and attention of a field. This usage carries a critical or analytical tone, often implying an imbalance of power or an obsession with celebrity culture.
