Blue giant. They're pretty.

K5V

Alpha Centauri B is a good example of this type.

How about a star system formed from a massive nebula that orbits around a neutron star? The stars would have to be far enough away from each other that they had a sustainable orbit with room for more orbiting bodies, though I like the thought of planets occasionally jumping from one star to another when they come a little too close. Probably wouldn't happen to a planet close enough to be earth like, so life would only have to endure an occasional brightening of the night sky.

As for what star this system will be centered around, how about a blue giant or sun-like star?

I'm getting tired of "Can we do this" discussions. Just pick a damn star type and get over it.

Well, then why even have this thread? Just use a random number generator.

[Tarran]

I'd rather not use the RNG.

Anyway, the star was completely destroyed in the supernova. So PLEASE, vote for a normal star, no black holes or neutron stars.

I want you guys to pick, I have horrible creativity, and the RNG is unpredictable. You don't like me not accepting black holes or other stuff, don't post. Seriously, just pick an average star. I never expected you to want to have a black hole or a neutron star as our sun.

It may not have helped when I said exotic. Plus this is a protistellar cloud guys!, not a stellar remnant!, which is what black holes and neutron stars are.

[Tarran]

Know what? How about the next turn?

A compromise between both suggestions, we get a green sub-giant.

And lo and behold, a sun was born, a green sub-giant. The green glow emanating throughout the gas cloud. (THE STAR STILL HAS NO NAME)

Slowly, clumps of rocks formed. asteroids have been born.

What happens now?

Spoiler: The system now. (click to show/hide)

Bodies:
  (Unnamed), a green sub-giant.

[smjjames]

Green? Come on, have we ever seen a green star? Other than UV pictures of the sun anyway. I'll just file my complaint and leave it at that since it would depend on what wavelength we are looking at, and you've already done the art, and green is my favorite color anyhow,

Speaking of green stars, Galactic Civ II has green and purple stars which really just represent special or unusual stars.

>Continue the planet building proccess until some larger planetoids develop. This will take a few million years really.....

[Tarran]

I had to find a compromise. Looking again, that may have not been the best way.

Anyway, let's just say our star is special and leave it at that.

Also: got any names you want for the sun?

[smjjames]

Yea, the ones in GalCiv II were special (if being barren of planets makes it special), so I accepted that, and will here.

As for the name, trying to think of a few ideas. I was thinking along the lines of verde which is spanish for green, also similar to verdant. Tried green fire in spansih, but Fuego Verde doesn't quite come out right to me.

Barren of planets? Oops.

Fuego Verde seems... Like it would be used for a planet or something. Try Russian, Chinese, or Japanese names.

[RandomNumberGenerator]

Yeah, a green star is kinda weird because it should go blue - white - yellow, not blue - green -yellow, but meh. It's a game, we can have fun with it.

I vote for calling the star "Aokaze"

I also vote for making a large tropical planet almost completely covered in water (90%+) called "Tori".

I know, too late to change the color. Oh well.

Name is nice, though it seems a little "off" for me. Though it's a good name.

Going a bit too fast RNG, planets don't make themselves in 500,000 years you know.

Or latin.

As for being barren of planets, that was just a game mechanism as it (along with purple stars) are rare. The purple special ones have the rare 20+ habitatibility planets. Earth was habitatibility 5 I think, meaning that a class 20+ would be Eden. Enough offtopic though.

Blatant GalCiv II reference there..... Not that I'll vote against it, and we have a couple of million years of planet formation to get through.

As for the star name, that one sounds ok to me.
