We consider star polymers, consisting of two different polymer species, in a solvent subject to quenched correlated structural obstacles. We assume that the disorder is correlated with a power-law decay of the pair correlation function g(x)\sim x^{-a}. Applying the field-theoretical renormalization group approach in d dimensions, we analyze different scenarios of scaling behavior working to first order of a double \epsilon=4-d, \delta=4-a expansion. We discuss the influence of the correlated disorder on the resulting scaling laws and possible manifestations such as diffusion controlled reactions in the vicinity of absorbing traps placed on polymers as well as the effective short-distance interaction between star copolymers.
