 A '''star''' is any massive gravitational self-luminous celestial body of gas that shines by radiation derived from its internal energy sources. Stars are predominantly the principal object found at the centre of [[Star System]]s, where other astronomical bodies orbit them.
 ==Gameplay==
 Stars are usually located at the centre of star systems as the main gravitational body, around which other astronomical bodies will orbit them. Stars keep theses systems together through gravity and other astrophysical concepts like the [[Roche Limit]]. Stars will have three zones within their area: the [[Lava Zone]], the [[Habitable Zone]] and the [[Frost Line]]. These dictate generation of [[planets]] and other astronomical bodies within their system, specifically what types of these appear within certain distances.

 Stars can currently undergo multiple [[sensor]] surveys within their vicinity. The XNAV Array will passively gather data on the star, including its star type, orbital characteristics, stellar temperature regions and physical characteristics. From long range surveys, the sensors will gather more information such as Spectral Analysis and Photosphere data. Whilst medium and short range surveys can be performed on stars, neither will yield any data on it. However, scanning a star in both is required to attain 100% survey data on its star system.
