Hypergiant

A hypergiant was a rare type of star that shared similar characteristics with a supergiant star, but was a hundred times more massive than Sol. The theoretical life span of a hypergiant was one to two million years. Like its supergiant companions, a hypergiant star would go supernova when it exhausted its supply of fuel and gravity crushed the inert remains.
In 2153, was the first Earth starship to research a red hypergiant in a range closer than ten light years; it was nearly a billion kilometers in circumference and was not expected to go supernova for another one or two hundred years. Their hull reached a temperature of 1,100 s, making it unsafe to approach any closer to the hypergiant. ()
In 3190, Ruon Tarka theorized that the controller at the center of the Dark Matter Anomaly would require an energy source equivalent to a hypergiant star to stabilize the gravitational anomaly. ()
