General Characteristics

AZAN is an F-type main sequence star that constitutes over 99% of the mass of the AZANI SYSTEM. It is mostly comprised of hydrogen and helium, plus an assortment of various trace elements. With an absolute magnitude of +3.94, it is the brightest star in our stellar neighbourhood, in addition to being the largest and most massive.

Formation & Life Cycle

AZAN formed 4.2 billion years ago from the collapse of part of a giant molecular cloud. 100 million years or so thereafter, CRETAK formed. AZAN is approximately three-quarters of the way through its main-sequence lifespan. It will continue to grow larger, hotter, and more luminous over the next 1.299 billion years until it finally exits the main sequence, becoming a giant star and thereafter a white dwarf. The human colony on CRETAK will not survive after AZAN exits the main sequence.
