| 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. | ||

A Blue Giant is a star type that commonly occurs throughout the Persean Sector.
They are typically found in younger constellations.

Planet types with no particular restrictions like Barren, Barren-Bombarded, Rocky Metallic, Rocky Unstable, and Gas Giant can be found here.
Volcanic and Irradiated worlds are often found here, and Toxic worlds can be found here too.
Colder planet types like Rocky Ice, Frozen, Cryovolcanic, and Ice Giant can rarely be found in the outskirts of the system.
