Sao
History
Sao was formed 20 billion years ago, as a nebula. The nebula was one of the largest in the Milky Way at the time, over 93 light years wide. The nebula remained in its state for just a thousand years, which is an incredibly short lifespan for a nebula. In fact, it is the third shortest lifespan of a nebula in Aavar's River.
With an influx of souls, the nebula collapsed in on itself and formed a main sequence star. Sao remained in this state for 18.5 billion years. During this time, 15 planets orbited Sao, each with unique organisms. As more dust and gases got caught in the star, and no more souls were being added to the core, there was not enough gravity to contain it, and Sao exploded into a Red Giant. Sao has only been a Red Giant for the past billion years, and therefore only has one planet in its orbit.
Fascinating fauna!
