PHASE 1 TURN 5
0416e - Tyr
Tyr is a dim twinkle in the nightsky from Old Earth, barely visible on a clear night.
A class M main sequence star, small and exceedingly common. These relatively cool stars often mass only a fraction of Old Earth's sun.
0615a-A - Janus
Janus is a trinary star system about 8 lightyears rimward from earth. The eponymous star represents Janus, the father of time in one of the old Greco-Roman Pantheons. Janus has gone super-nova in the past half a million years and has yet to subsume its small neighbor, Venilia.
A low-to-medium mass star in a late phase of stellar evolution, a red giant has exhausted the supply of hydrogen in its core and switched to hydrogen fusion in a shell around the now helium core instead. While the star itself is huge, the outer envelope has a lower temperature, giving the star its characteristic hue.
0615a-B - Juturna
Jutuna represents the first wife of Janus, spurned in her old age by Venilia. She was the Goddess of fountain, spring and the lifeforce of the universe.
A K-type main-sequence star, also referred to as a K-type dwarf or an orange dwarf, is a main-sequence (hydrogen-burning) star of spectral type K and luminosity class V. These stars are intermediate in size between red M-type main-sequence stars ("red dwarfs") and yellow/white G-type main-sequence stars.
0615a-C - Venilia
Venilia represents the second wife of Janus, the Goddess of the winds and the sea. Venilia is a cool brown dwarf, and was likely a gas giant orbiting Janus at a comfortable distance before the latter went supernova. The expansion of Janus into a red giant has slowly been siphoning gases off of Venilia for millenia.
This brown dwarf is a sub-stellar primary mass which has not reached sufficient temperature to fuse hydrogen though it radiates appreciable electromagnetic radiation due to gravitational compression. Smaller brown dwarfs are categorized with gas giants on a somewhat muddled spectrum rather than a definitive threshold. The magnetic fields of a brown dwarf are powerful and potentially tumultuous compared to small planets.
0617b - Basar
Basar is visible in the Wolf's Jaw constellation. For decades, astrographers thought Lycaon and Basar were a binary system. The truth was only revealed when an observatory not in the Sol system was fixed on the location.
Slightly cooler and smaller than Old Earth's sun, this class K star most resembles Alpha Centauri B. It is particularly stable, burning on the lower end of the main sequence for tens of billions of years and thus considered a likely host to life-bearing and terraformable planets.
0717a - Lycaon
Lycaon is a newborn star in an active nursery - sufficient density of gasses in the Wolf's Jaw Nebula have compressed and ignited sometime within the past thirty thousand years - well within humanity's lifetime.
A typical F-class yellow-white star has a mass of 1.4 times greater than Sol and are around 1.5 times the radius. They have a lifespan of around 5 billion years before the hydrogen runs out and the star goes supernova.
0717a - Wolf's Jaw Nebula
The Wolf's Jaw Nebula is visible from the night sky on Earth - only as a shadow that passes in front of Lycaon every year around the same time.
A nebula is a distinct luminescent part of interstellar medium, which can consist of ionized, neutral or molecular hydrogen and also cosmic dust.
0918a - Sindhu Nebula
The Sindhu Nebula is like a river in the sky from Earth. Sindhu's eponymous parallel on Earth is home to great civilizations; Sindhu itself is a barren wasteland of frozen gasses and lightyear-spanning hyperstorms.
A nebula is a distinct luminescent part of interstellar medium, which can consist of ionized, neutral or molecular hydrogen and also cosmic dust.
2004d - Cixin
Cixin is your typical red dwarf, nearly imperceptible in the night sky. It is around 12 lightyears coreward from Sol.
A class M main sequence star, small and exceedingly common. These relatively cool stars often mass only a fraction of Old Earth's sun.

Might as well stake out a corner.
Question for next turn. If I want to try and generate a star of a certain type, I need to spend 20CP to make the star, then another 10CP to try and make it that type?

Negative, but I see that the rule is unclear.
If you specify what type of star you'd like with the 20 CP it's more likely to happen than if you don't specify anything at all.
If it doesn't work out (which it might not) you can spend an additional 10 CP, yes.

AH! Just a second, then I can do what I was planing this turn, then try to fix it next if it fails.
20CP- Namaka 0904c Named for the Hawaiian goddess of the sea in recent years, it was originally cataloged as HT-293.
20CP- Nemisis (Brown/white/Methane dwarf) 1111c. A long theorized partner star for Sol orbiting beyond the ort cloud, Nemisis was originally thought to have been disproven in the early 21st century and any theorizing about it was reduced to fringe groups. It wasn't until well into the age of FTL travel and settlement that It was discovered to be true, due to Gravitational observations of Sol from other colonies. Exceptional low in mass and luminosity for a star of its type, It was no wonder it evaded detection for so long despite how close it was to earth.
2CP: bank
If It's not any of the three categories, I intend to re-roll, as anything else that close to Sol breaks things. Also, I have no objections should you chose to reject it, it is a bit out there.

PHASE I TURN 6
0407e - Lowel-Bannon
Lowel-Bannon was named for and by its discoverers, Captain Hugh Bannon and Professor Lionel Lowel. It was first spotted in 1898 but the pair could not find it again in the night sky until 1904.
A class M main sequence star, small and exceedingly common. These relatively cool stars often mass only a fraction of Old Earth's sun.
0904c - Namaka
Namaka is an orange dwarf in the Enoch constellation. Originally catalogued in 1972 AD as HT-293, in 2009 AD the star developped a unique twinkle. In response, in 2011 AD the International Astronomical Union held a public vote to give the star a proper name. The name Namaka gained popularity due to the popular children's movie about a Hawaiian princess, Namaka Amidst the Waves.
Slightly cooler and smaller than Old Earth's sun, this class K star most resembles Alpha Centauri B. It is particularly stable, burning on the lower end of the main sequence for tens of billions of years and thus considered a likely host to life-bearing and terraformable planets.
1007c - David
David is a dwarf star named for the eponymous hero in the biblical account of David and Goliath. Initially astrographers believed the two stars a binary pair, although this was disproven in later centuries.
A class M main sequence star, small and exceedingly common. These relatively cool stars often mass only a fraction of Old Earth's sun.
1007d - Goliath
Goliath is a yellow-white giant star, vividly pulsating in the night sky from Earth. It was named due to its supposed proximity to David, the Bethlehemite hero of Biblical repute.
A Yellow Supergiant is a star, generally of spectral type F or G, having a supergiant luminosity class. They are stars that have evolved away from the main sequence, expanding and becoming more luminous. Yellow giants are hotter and smaller than Red Supergiants; many of them are variable stars, pulsating to the naked eye.
1106d - Sahawayda
Sahawayda is the ancient Ur term for 'desert heat'. It has been heralded since before the years of Christ as the Summer Star, the first star visible in the night sky in the early summer.

Guangrao is a giant star near the Cixin constellation. Guangrao was an important historical figure of the Jian dynasty. Centuries after his death, the naming rights to the star was purchased by his descendants from the Chinese government.
A low-to-medium mass star in a late phase of stellar evolution, a red giant has exhausted the supply of hydrogen in its core and switched to hydrogen fusion in a shell around the now helium core instead.

1808a - Liu
Liu is a giant blue-white star in the Cixin constellation, approximately 9 lightyears from Earth.
B-class giant stars typically range from 10,000 K to 25,000 K and are also bluish white but show neutral helium lines. Post-main sequence stars such as the OB-class supergiants are extremely luminous and hot.

There once was an astronomer who was born in Australian, sometime in the 1840's. while not very famous, he did manage to discover and named several stars in the southern sky and get them published back in england. He was not very original with the names, and it was several decades before someone noticed the names of these stars were all Aboriginal names for animals in Australia.

And the pac-man… i was thinking a nebula around a black hole, which when passing in front the ghosts changes their color due to gravitationally speeding their light towards earth (to blue), but i assume no black holes allowed. So probably a nebula that sometimes appear in front of them giving them a blue hue.
