  • There are plenty triple and quadruple star systems that manage to survive. If two stars in such a system are closer to each other than to the rest, then they essentially form a single binary that is independent of the other bodies. Alpha Centauri comes to mind, the nearest star system to us. A and B are close to each other, and Proxima, the third one in the system and closest star to the sun, essentially rotates around the first pair.
