Group that follows a star? (5)

I believe the answer is:

posse

(Other definitions for posse that I've seen before include "Body of constables" , "Sheriff's band of men" , "Group temporarily established for some purpose" , "Group of friends together" , "Sheriff's assistants" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
