A star is a central 'hub' to which 'satellite' locations are connected. There is no direct communication between two satellites except through the hub.
If you are referring to topologies, then the architectures are: bus ring star mesh hybrid
Network Topology decides how Devices on a Network will be interconnected. General used Topologies are BUS, RING & STAR Topologies.
The complex combination of pure topologies is called a Hybrid. Examples of hybrid are star ring network and star bus network.

Star topologies. Sometimes combined topologies are used of which i have no idea!! :P

When a network combines two or more types of network topologies, it is referred to as a hybrid topology. This approach leverages the strengths of various topologies, such as star, ring, or bus, to optimize performance and reliability. Hybrid topologies can be tailored to meet specific needs of the network, accommodating diverse requirements and improving scalability.
