Verda

Verda, formerly known as The Sun to the inhabitants of its system, is a young main-sequence G8V Star, is the main star in the Verda System, and is home to many habitable planets. 
== Physical Characteristics ==
Verda is a young star, formed 1.9 billion years ago in the Vernarca Nebula, where neighboring star Klein currently resides. It is a calm yellow dwarf, unlike some younger ones which erupt with huge flares. 
== Structure and Atmosphere ==
Verda, being a yellow dwarf, is not fully convective, which means that it will not use all of its fuel over its lifetime. This vastly decreases it's lifetime, meaning that in approximately 14 billion years, it will die. It is currently being mined via Starlifting to build the habitats in it's nascent dyson swarm. 
== Light n' Stuff ==
It's surface temperature, 5490ish K, causes it to be yellowish-white in color, bathing it's planets in a nice white light, and causing the inhabitants of the system to evolve a visible spectrum skewed ever so slightly toward the infrared.
== Orbit and Rotation ==
Like most stars, it rotates slowly, at 1 rotation every 37 days. Verda and it's secondary companion, Altara, orbit their center of mass at an average distance of 55 AU. (this will be changed)
== History of Observation ==
Verda was "Discovered" in prehistory, being a giant glowing sphere in the sky. In 540 BFO, The telescope was invented, and someone had the genius idea of looking at the sun with it. He was the first to see the very big sunspots on the star. Not much happened, except solar telescopes getting better, until 499 BC, when a solar telescope was sent into space, and took the clearest pictures yet of the stellar surface. 
== Trivia ==
* Verda is a G-Type Star, one of the more massive star types that can host habitable planets.
* It is in a relatively rare ternary system, with Altara and Taozora.
