A Klemperer Rosette is several bodies of effectively equal mass locked into equivalent but rotated orbits about either a central body, or the center of mass of the system.
So, for instance, if you took five more Earths and placed them every 60 degrees around the sun, they would be very stable, and you'd have a Rosette.

The thing you use to create new stars. At least I think that's what it's called... I've never actually used it anyway

Hmm...I figured it was named after Johannes Kepler or some such spelling ... oh well, it wouldn't look that way in SE4 anyway.
A trinary system should be plenty for a crystaline race -- I only built the solar collectors once. I was loseing badly, and there was a planet in a trinary system. But I couldn't build fast enough to survive.
I began to suspect that I wasn't getting 3 X the resources, but I was.

Re: Crystalline Resource Exploit!
You cant build a sun in system the already has a sun for a loooooooong time now. This was a discussion topic long time ago (almost when se4 came out).
If it were possible, there would be a way (ab)use the "feature" in different way (not resource gathering). You would just need 1 ship to warp in the system, create a sun and get out. Next turn (or even same turn that sun is created) you would blow up a sun and clear the whole system of all enemy ships, colonies etc. Would be devastating tactic (and not so expensive), especially against AI.
