A Blue Giant
A very high temperature and luminosity O-type star. Although extraordinarily massive this star is short-lived due to the hellish rate at which it fuses its constituent elements. It will quickly, for a star, explode as a supernova which may briefly outshine entire galaxies before transforming into a black hole or neutron star. The energies unleashed from the star's raging fusion heart erupt in powerful stellar winds that will strip the atmosphere from closely orbiting planets - and the hull from any starships that linger nearby.
