Geography
These two stars, called the Peraures, are one of the five binary star pairs in a decuple system.
Though they are the most isolated of the pairs, they are also the most brilliant; often obscuring distant observers into thinking that they are all that is there. For that reason, the peraures enjoyed the most developmental attention in the earliest stages of the betans' arrival.

Planets can have a close (just one), intermediate (between) or wide binary (both) distance between the stars, affecting where they can safely orbit without destabilizing gravitational interactions.
Use the Companion Orbit Separation Table to set a distance for the stars’ orbits around each other at a given time, as measured in astronomical units.

Localized Phenomena
In the stable-unstable orbits of the Nataraja System, certain syzygy events can catapult whole planets into any of the ten suns far or near.
These cosmic alignments occur when the gravitational forces of the system's stars converge, creating pockets of unstable regions where bodies are flung from their orbital paths with little warning.
Climate
Dyson Swarm
Vast arrays of energy-harvesting structures amplify certain aspects of the stars' radiative effects while damping others. As the stars' output is reallocated away from natural radiation and distributed into the light lattice, their natural behaviours - flares, coronal mass ejections, and solar winds - are modified or reduced. Locally, the swarms create microclimates around the stars' surface, shifting the thermal output along the natural orbital pathways of planets. These have further reaching consequences that can artificially heat or cool nearby planets; depending on how the swarms are constructed to focus or shield the energy.Natural Resources
