"Magnets"
That was my thoughts when first seeing it. Supposedly it wasn't the DK (but some other alien civilisation, cheers Igiss) but they would likely be able to do whatever they want given how advanced they were.

Regardless of how advanced a technology is, the universe still follows its core rules; you can bend them, you can find shortcuts, but you cannot ignore them. Also, magnets don't make gravity stop working, they simply apply an opposed force. That cannot be the case for that planetary cluster:
1- The mass of the outer gas giants is so much that they should simply fall upon each other, there is absolutely NO FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE that can keep such heavy bodies so close to each other in a stable position.
2- Magnets, you say? But gas giants are made by gas (duh...), they do not have a solid metallic core like Earth. And even if they did, only the core would be affected: the outer gaseous layer would still fall to the center, or at best form a uniform gaseous blob around the whole cluster (remember that it's planetary rotation that keeps the atmosphere in its intended place).
3- A magnet so powerful to hold four supermassive planetary cores in place would blanket the entire system with a magnetic field so powerful that no form of technology would be able to operate, and would also attract all ships to crash on it or repel them so hard they would be literaly "shot" out of the system.
I could go on for quite a while in listing all the hopelessly wrong things in that cluster. Just NO. It was made for a (debatable) aesthetic purpouse, and that's it.

The whole thing should be removed. It doesn't even look good.

Sure as hell it does. It looks awesome.

If outer planets orbit the middle one sufficiently fast, they could stay in their pre-defined positions I guess... still, it's unrealistic.

I like it, sure its crazy, but tis supposed to have been done with magic future alien tech.

It`s crazy but it looks awesome.
No need to remove it, it just make the area special...

My personal opinion? It's ugly as hell, and everytime I see it, it breaks my game immersion. That cluster is one of the main reasons I don't go into Gallia.

What's ugly in it? I would understand you if the outer planets would have been placed randomly, but they apparently form a tetrahedron around the middle one, which gives a weird feeling of it being artifical, but at the same time such formations (I mean the tetrahedron) occur in nature too. It's enigmatic, and that's what gives it's coolness.

Its just EPIC like whole Gallia is!
