Psi Kaus System
Star system of the Odyros galaxy, owned by the Hyperion Federation.
The Psi Kaus star is one of the largest stars in the galaxy. As a massive wolf-rayet star, it emits little visible light. It radiates primarily UV radiation.
As this type of star is very rare, it is quite valuable. It is possible that it could undergo supernova within a few million years, a timeframe that is quite short on the cosmological scale, and create a massive number of magnetic monopoles. For now, it is mostly harvested for energy by the with a number of large ring worlds. These can produce more starship fuel antimatter than some entire Dyson Spheres, going to show the immense scale of the star. To improve the lifespan of this huge star, the HF also performs star lifting, and makes use of Transmutation Reactors to create diverse matter plasma involving most chemical elements and generate further energy.
The star is very famous for it's immense size around the entire HF. It's also a popular tourist destination and the homeworld for a sentient species that cannot see frequencies under UV radiation. This includes light visible to humans.
However the extreme mass of the star leads to a very large distance between planetary bodies. Using very low tech infrastellar starships, such as those with chemical propellant or fission nuclear thrusters, it can take multiple years to travel to the closest planets. The HF has made it very easy to do this, making use of their very powerful Superluminal Acceleration Warp Drives.
You packed a lot of information into a very brief article. Thanks for sharing!
