Stars, also known as suns, are the center of solar systems.
A star can be harvested for preon particles using a particle collector bay, which then allows for the use of a star gate.
Star Types
They are described with a standard nomenclature that incorporates three factors: Type, Spectral Classification, and Size.
Dwarf stars are identified only by their size and type; no spectral classification is assigned. For instance, a DM is a red dwarf star of type M.
Spectral classification is expressed as a decimal number from 0 to 9.

| A | "A" | Blue |
| F | "Fine" | White |
| G | "Girl" | Yellow |
